4Clubbers (UK) review my remix ep...
Spencer Parker’s Work Them imprint has quickly built a
reputation for unreconstructed dance music that flits between house and
techno, enlisting the likes of Dana Ruh, Pittsburgh Track Authority,
S:VT and Radio Slave alongside original work from the Berlin-based DJ
and producer. Following the label head’s EP in March, Parker enlists
Patrick Graser and Aaron Siegel in their Answer Code Request and FIT
guises to sprinkle their own dust over the thumping techno of Spacial
and Faster Forward’s classic piano house leanings.
The FIT Remix of ‘Faster Forward’ subverts the original’s house aethsetic into a shuffling, off-kilter mix that focuses on the piano and pads’ melodies and envelops them in broken percussive loops, adding a dream-like glow to its lofty intentions.
The Jaguar knows what's up...
many thanks to DJ Rolando for including my "Spacial" single TWICE in his latest mix for Trax Magazine (FR)...
you can hear the whole mix, HERE...
Data Transmission review the remixes of my latest EP...
7/10
The beginning of 2014 saw the end of Spencer Parker's It's Not Over project but avid listeners of his boundless house and heavy duty techno satisfied their appetite for new material when Parker released his EP The Moment Not The Memory in March (with support from the likes of Dave Clarke and Danny Krivit). Well now it's had the remix treatment from two of the scenes most in demand producers...
First of the three tracks is Answer Code Request's remix of Spacial. An uncompromising techno number from the outset; broad and heavy bass pumps life into this track at an unrelenting frequency. However, it proves its melodic abilities as it invites arpeggiated fuzzy synths, accompanied by tight yet dampened notes. It remains consistent and somewhat uneventful, but delivers in its purpose of a club-ready track that's fit to make an audience burst. DJs wanting to give this mesmeric track a lick of their own paint can make use of the beatless loop.
FIT's remix of Faster Forward takes a turn from the previous track and retreats to a melancholic cove. Slightly offbeat pangs have backup from alluring, drawn out house-synths and dashes of high-hat that are, though subtle, carry the track through. Modest yet timeless piano keys dodge in and out as a grooving bassline swims underneath. This nine-minute track reaches full circle as it closes with its introductory notes; a sound that belongs in a closing set.
and my US work visa is................. APPROVED !
yes, my US work visa is FINALLY approved, and i will be touring this autumn...

Ransom Note (UK) review my new ep...
"Spencer Parker has been slowly building something very special with Work Them Records over the last few years and their releases have graced this column more than once. The boss continues the good work with a two tracker that shows two very different sides to his output on each side of the wax."
“Spatial” is raw, stripped down and aggressive. We just have a 909 and a demented, bee like droning that keeps going relentlessly. In contrast, on the flip we have “Faster Forward” which again is all centered around the 909 percussion but this time the track has a warm heart. We have bright open pads and pianos that teeter between optimism and melancholy". (Joe Europe)
Out 10th March on wax.
Faster Forward...
big thanks to Ed Davenport for closing his recent marathon set in Berghain with my new "Faster Forward single...
