*PRE-ORDER* MIKE PARKER 'EPILOGUE' 3LP

A truly original strain of steely, hypnotic techno that has touched upon many different
waves within the wider scene.

Having pioneered a hard-edged, reductionist style via his Geophone label since the
mid-90s, around 2010 Mike Parker found himself at the vanguard of an emergent
sound alongside artists like Donato Dozzy and Cio D'or exploring the possibilities of
immersive, profoundly transcendental club music. The Prologue label came to define
this cult zeitgeist, where reduction and repetition took on a truly psychedelic quality
and the subtle details made all the difference. It ran from 2008 to 2015, laying the
foundations for the deep techno sound that remains a vital, evolving subculture in
the present moment.
From Parker's first appearance on Prologue with the Subterranean Liquid EP in 2011
through to the Lustrations LP in 2013, he delivered some of the most incisive music of
his accomplished career — teased-out rhythms carrying exquisitely engineered
textures veering from the subliminal to the visceral, locked into endless, cyclical
oblivion and maintaining a stern, machinist veneer.
This collection on Field Records combs through Parker's Prologue output and makes a
considered selection, gathering key pieces from the first two EPs alongside six of the
album tracks on a triple vinyl pressing, alongside a further eight cuts on the expanded
digital edition.
Not just a straight-forward reissue, consider Epilogue a thoughtful reframing of a key
point in Mike Parker's stellar career. In every exacting pulse, every inch of tacit spatial
design, it's the work of an expert sculpKng a sound which remains influential in the
here and now.
