Photek

Form and Function

Astralwerks

Go Photek!! Finally, an album from the master of chopping beats with a samurai sword. Form and Function is loaded with precise remixes of all of his older signature songs, such as “The Margin” remixed by Doc Scott, and “UFO,” original and J Majik mixes. The album has consistent sharp-edged beats with low sub-bass hits that keep you entranced. If you are into cutting edge beats and time signature tricks along with astral cosmo spacey background sounds check it out! With all the junk drum and bass that is released, Photek (along with a few like Goldie) is breaking open new genres with technical feats for other musicians to build on and for listeners to enjoy.
