Pretty cool piece of music right here...
Closer marks the resurgence of Photek after a few quiet years, this time as the 50th release on an alternative label Tectonic. Photek a.k.a. Rupert Parkes is a British born, L.A. based producer, with releases most notably under the drum n' bass genre dating back to the early 90's.
Closer sees Photek take his sound in a new direction, still resembling his origins of bass music yet with a more experimental and pop-friendly approach. Layered synths, underlining bass, and wailing vocals thrown in over the top make for a powerfully emotive sound.
From what I understand initial reviews of the single have been mixed, as is often the case when a revered artist explores new territory. I'm not much of a drum n' bass fan myself, but this certainly does it for me.
