PARC Department began as a recording project in the summer of 2020, when songwriter Colin Morris challenged himself to produce an EP in three days. He released Parc Department's self-titled debut in August.

The EP features a lush blend of electronic and analog instrumentation, and often earns enthusiastic praise from fans of Tycho, Boards of Canada, Röyksopp, Bibio, M83, The Album Leaf, Tame Impala, and MUTEMATH.

Not just art, this is Nature. Notice the geometry of the sounds. The bass drums squeeze and compress the track volume, so it breathes with you. Retired in 2013, upon completion of the task.

I started producing beats (instrumentals) under the alias 'Cold Electric' in 2006; with a background playing guitar and viola in the school orchestra as a kid. The name is a reference to some obscure Nikola Tesla stuff (so-called cold electricity).

The first Cold Electric album (2008, feat Nishat on keys and Nick Wong on bass) went viral on some filesharing websites, after I uploaded it along with a "free for the people!" album description :) It was downloaded 20,000+ times within a few weeks from Demonoid.com.

In Feb 2011, I self-released my second album, Restore the Commons -under the alias 'DJ Cold Electric' - and subsequently finished a couple dozen additional tracks after that.

The vibe blends hip-hop drums, crunchy rock guitar riffs, electronic dance music, and party/disco textures, with a touch of 'old-school video game' flavor, and the occasional funky bassline for good measure. Enjoy! I will not be selling or promoting any of this ever, so here we have it.

A dude that makes tunes and shares them, that perhaps someone else might enjoy.
