Following the reissue of his debut album Dispatches, Field Records is proud to return to the seminal work of Mike Parker with an overview of his releases on Prologue — a truly original strain of steely, hypnotic techno that has touched upon many diﬀerent waves within the wider scene.

Having pioneered a hard-edged, reductionist style via his Geophone label since the mid-90s, around 2010 Mike Parker found himself at the vanguard of an emergent sound alongside artists like Donato Dozzy and Cio D'or exploring the possibilities of immersive, profoundly transcendental club music. The Prologue label came to define this cult zeitgeist, where reduction and repetition took on a truly psychedelic quality and the subtle details made all the diﬀerence. It ran from 2008 to 2015, laying the foundations for the deep techno sound that remains a vital, evolving subculture in the present moment.

From Parker's first appearance on Prologue with the Subterranean Liquid EP in 2011 through to the Lustrations LP in 2013, he delivered some of the most incisive music of his accomplished career — teased-out rhythms carrying exquisitely engineered textures veering from the subliminal to the visceral, locked into endless, cyclical oblivion and maintaining a stern, machinist veneer. This collection on Field Records combs through Parker's Prologue output and makes a considered selection, gathering key pieces from the first two EPs alongside six of the album tracks on a triple vinyl pressing, alongside a further eight cuts on the expanded digital edition.

Not just a straight-forward reissue, consider Epilogue a thoughtful reframing of a key point in Mike Parker's stellar career. In every exacting pulse, every inch of tacit spatial design, it's the work of an expert sculpting a sound which remains influential in the here and now.

Mike Parker’s ‘Epilogue’ arrives on triple vinyl and digital via Field Records on October 24th.

Avenger EP

Avenger

A pair fast becoming one of electronic music’s most prolific duos, offering diverse and quality productions across the full breadth of the house and techno spheres, Butane and Riko Forinson look set to continue their flourishing partnership straight into the new year and beyond. Hot on the heels of an extremely productive 2020, placing EPs on the likes of Little Helpers, Balance Music and Deeperfect, as well as introducing the first three instalments of their new ‘In Concert’ series on Rasse's Extrasketch platform, the duo now kick-off 2021 with a versatile offering on ‘home turf’ as they reveal their dynamic four-track ‘Werk’ EP.

Lead production and club stomper ‘Choppin Wood’ opens proceedings with authority, as a menacing bassline takes hold of an undeniably UK-influenced cut full of energy and drive. ‘Come On’ follows with a deeper yet still chunky house vibe, replete with slick and slinking percussion, hypnotic stabs and a rolling low end. Next up, ‘The Whistle’ sees a paired-back, uptempo effort as the emphasis is placed on groove, with icy hats, refined drums and a steady hypnotic lead line. Closing the show, 'Grind' is a low-slung creeper that does precisely what its title promises, with hypnotic synth work and a mental, down and dirty vibe for the late-night hours.
