ANDREA PARKER
Andrea Parker has been busy remixing many of the electronic world’s luminaries; Steve Reich, Depeche Mode, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Lamb and some-times collaborator Mira Calix, to name just a few. She’s also spent a lot of her time trotting around the globe, records at the ready. Her DJ style is uncompromising and eclectic. Her early influences shine through; artists including This Mortal Coil, Kraftwerk, The Art Of Noise, Nucleus, Model 500, Ultra Magnetic Mc’s mean that her sets are diverse and never predictable. She’s hit the decks on support Radiohead on the US part of their Kid A tour, experimented live on stage with avant-garde supremos Bang On A Can, Philip Glass and Steve Reich, in Europe, and held her own on the British Council sponsored somewhat hazardous trip of South America and provided more than a little entertainment at parties for director Roman Polanski and fashion house; Gucci.
Her popularity as a dj was confirmed by the high sales of her mix for K7’s celebrated Dj Kicks series. The album showcases the variety of her musical loves; she wasn’t afraid to fuse hip hop pioneers like Man Parish with electronic pusher’s Gescom, the mix reflecting her taste for a hip hop, electro, techno and many classics.
Andrea Parker is more than an electronic musician and DJ, she’s all the bits in-between. She makes amazingly beautiful, haunting, yet always warm, electro music – making it almost impossible for those of us who’ve had the pleasure of experiencing it, ever want to leave.
