One man, one MPC, several crates of records… no three concepts better outlay the modus operandi of London-based New Yorker Hollis Parker. A producer and DJ with an affinity for old production hardware and getting his fingers dusty digging through stacks of wax, Hollis Parker made his debut in 2014 with ‘Sunshine’ as part of SoSure Music’s SSMWL White Label series. He quickly followed that up with the label’s official inaugural release, the vinyl-only three-track EP entitled ‘The Tunnel’. His influences clearly based in Jazz, Fusion, Soul & Hip Hop, Parker fused all those elements into a House paradigm, which has continued to be his calling card in his releases since. The Akai MPC 3000 is his weapon of choice, and he has wielded it mightily throughout the course of his career. Using little more than this machine and a stack of vinyl records, Hollis has crafted a sound that is distinctly House, but also has incredibly strong roots in Hip Hop.
