He received three consecutive Grammy Award nominations in the category of Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical were for Daft Punk "End of Line" from the Tron: Legacy movie soundtrack in 2012, Moby "Lie Down In Darkness" in 2013 and Bob Marley "One Love/People Get Ready" in 2014.
Initially interested in hip hop, Parkes soon expanded his style with elements of Soul and Jazz. His first instrument was a tenor saxophone, but when a piano arrived in the family home his focus shifted to composition as opposed to performance. By 1992 he had switched from the saxophone to a sequencer. Within the next year he started to perform under the stage name Photek.

Photek, aka Rupert Parkes, is one of the most recognized modern masters of electronic music. His DJ-Kicks mix sees the artist exploring some new territory, while getting back to the roots of what excited him most about the early days of rave culture. We were able to sit down in his Los Angeles studio to discuss the mix, his early DJ gigs, and the inspiration behind some of the exclusive tracks' titles. DJ-Kicks is out March 26th 2012, with a US release date of April 3rd.
