Spencer Parker is one of Europe's leading dj's, his unique style of house music is in demand the world over and with his productions, remixes and re-edits being supported by such names as
Radio Slave,
Luciano,
Laurent Garnier,
Richie Hawtin,
Ben Watt,
Nic Fanciulli and
Pete Tong, the future looks bright.
Spencer's style is simply best described as underground electronic house music. Preferred record labels range from the techno stylings of Oslo, Planet E, Liebe Detail, and Rekids through to the uber-cool house of Buzzin Fly, Ibadan, Tsuba and Objektivity. A set from Spencer would include acid house and techno alongside some cool jackin' tracks and the odd trippy vocal. Spencer has held some highly successful residencies in his home town of London and continues to regularly guest at the capitals best clubs, including Fabric and The End, as well as being in demand worldwide, with recent visits alone including Russia, Germany, China, America, Australia, France, Italy and Romania.
In 2005 Spencer began his production career with the release of his debut single "Open Your Eyes" and followed it up the following year with "Beautiful Noise", on
Radio Slave's newly launched Rekids label. Early copies garnered support from names such as
Nic Fanciulli,
Clive Henry, X Press 2,
Ben Watt and
Pete Tong. In addition to "Beautiful Noise" Spencer also released the much hyped single "Neon" in early 2007 on the London based Tsuba label. Already becoming an anthem for
Nic Fanciulli after constant play at his Space (Ibiza) residency, "Neon" was supported by such names as James Zabelia and
Laurent Garnier with both
John Digweed and
Hernan Cattaneo adding it to their latest compilations.
In addition to producing original material, Spencer often remixes or re-edits some of the hottest tracks around to give himself an exclusive secret weapon to play and make his dj sets completely original. Recent official remixes include "Freaky Bleepy" for
Ben Watt's excellent Buzzin' Fly imprint, the DC10 anthem "Alcoolic" for Cr2, the lead single from
Nic Fanciulli's Skylark album, "All I See" and Spencer's well received remix of Foremost Poets' "Moonraker" for NRK Records. Also, although unlikely to see a release, more than a few people have been asking about his hot re workings of
Ricardo Villalobos' "Enfants" and Akefe Iku's huge "Mirror Dance" track.
In 2008, Spencer's production schedule has really stepped up a gear. First out the gates was his collaboration with Diesel (as co.Lab) entitled "Music Box" on Satoshi Tommie's SAW Recordings label. Techno influenced but with a definite house sound, "Music Box" garnered support from Riche Hawtin,
Luciano,
Ewan Pearson and
Radio Slave. To follow this, Spencer released his second single on Tsuba entitled "e Lucia" and his debut single on Buzzin' Fly "Chiho". "The Dreamer EP" and "Romantic" single, both due on Rekids will be out at the tail end of this year along with the second co.Lab single, "
Zanzibar", on Saved Records. Never one to rest on his laurels, February 2009 will see Spencer's debut release on Germany's uber-cool Liebe*Detail label.
Spencer is an experienced and adaptable dj that knows how to warm up for big names intelligently as well as rock a main room in his own right, anywhere in the world. Now, with his production and remixing skills developing at a rapid rate, and releases on some of the worlds best underground house labels, the package is complete.
