Tim Parker

Tim Parker has maintained a secured taste-maker status at the heart of the British Hip-hop and alt-electronica landscape as a club & radio DJ for over a decade. Originally from Cambridge, Parkers time since has been spent in London contributing to the cities musical landscape, operating as a crucial fixer-cum-influencer for the instrumental hip-hop community. He helped materialise the first London appearance for acts such as Lapalux, KNXWLEDGE, The Range & Obey City (as co-curator of Streets of Beige club night); Has hosted his monthly ‘You’ll Soon Know’ radio show on NTS radio since the stations inception over a decade ago (showcasing guests including MNDSGN, Ta-Ku & Joe Kay); Commanded a residency at the 20/20 LDN club night as long as the event has existed; and most recently taken on co-A&R status for dBridge's widely-acclaimed label Exit Records. In the times since his inaugural release on the 20/20 LDN label (with the track “U Smart” - a collaboration with Ivy Lab), Parker has developed a distinct solo sound, tipping his cap to the dance floor whilst encapsulating the instrumentation of golden-era hip-hop and its jazz-infusions.
