Parker

With the imminent release of his debut album To Eternity almost upon us, Parker is set to become the name to watch in 2008.  
Its mix of vintage Soul, nu-school production, guest vocalists and driving grooves, has marked the Bristol native out as a rising star in the UK beats scene.  
Pre-release hype from the likes of Radio 1, BBC 6Music, DJ Andy Smith, The Cuban Brothers, Massive Attack’s Daddy G, Richard X and Bill Brewster, has seen the first single ‘Sugar Coated/Old Time Sermon’ get into the right record boxes, and the most esteemed radio play lists.  
The single, featuring vocalist Sarah Scott, was heavily rotated on MTV, thanks to Fatboy Slim-directing Steve Glashier’s superb video, featuring meercat-headed stars and love story narrative.  
For the second release, ‘Western Soul’, Parker’s unique brand of dance floor production has been taken up another notch. This collaboration with legendary West Coast rapper Rasco sees the accomplished MC rhyme over his best in over ten years, and duly raise his game to make it a track that’s already turning heads and igniting dancing feet.  
The release date is set for May and comes packaged with killer remixes by Aphrodite, DJ Beathoven and Kidda, bringing the Drum and Bass and Funk respectively.
Parker has also raised his profile since completing the album (due in stores summer 2008 on Rocstar Recordings), bagging a primetime radio show on XFM South Wales with his long-time DJ partner, Moneyshot.
Tune in, soak up the influences and hear Parker’s latest mixes, tracks and remixes. 2008 is his year.
