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