Modus Operandi
Astralwerks

Photek is Rupert Parkes, a 25-year-old from Saint Albans in Hertfordshire, England, but his music evokes paranoia in contrast to his years and locale. Exploiting the terse space between the beats of drum and bass, Parkes fills it with shifting frequencies, brushed snares, and low-stringed riffs. Modus Operandi captures this potent array of sounds and showcases Parkes�s uncanny sense of tension and timing. Songs such as �Minotaur� and �The Hidden Camera� take advantage of dramatic pauses and resonating undercurrents � closer to Kabuki theater than the latest dance music classification.
