Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rupert Parkes' debut album under the Photek moniker is an absolute landmark of meticulously programmed, jazz-inflected drum and bass. Renowned for its terrifyingly precise, almost surgical approach to breakbeat manipulation, 'Modus operandi' creates a deeply tense, cinematic atmosphere reminiscent of a highly paranoid espionage thriller.
