BOOM. Straight up – THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME OUT LAST FRIDAY & MADE SHIT POP OFF! “That’s what I’m talkin’ about!”
sub⎸div 04 was a massive success; after a heavy set of dubstep headliners at sub⎸div events, it was fresh to have some glitchy, lazered-up acts through to liven up what was definitely the craziest sub⎸division yet. Fantastic opening jams from Eames (love that Todd Edwards kid!) & The Big Reds (“Hype The Funk” seriously damages!) warmed everyone up for Vincent Parker’s frenetic, spastic live glitch-funk madness. Playing new, unheard jams along with selections from his Prism Myst EP, the Run Rioter was in fine form & sucked the thick crowd into a vortex of electro-crunk boogie.

Vancouver’s Vincent Parker has an air of mad scientist about him. A self-styled musician/artist/designer, Parker is steadily amassing a tidy little back catalog of post-glitch synthetic weirdness. Inside of the cage matches that are his tracks, frizzled synths duke it out with stutter-tech breakbeat insanity, often straddling the line between kinetic dancefloor bliss & supreme headnod material. Hyphy influences pop up along with a tendency toward melancholic, serene melodic turns. All in all, the kid’s got it goin’ on & after winning Seattle’s Laptop Battle this past December (clip below), he’s primed to release a brand new full length on Run Riot Records (holla!), Prism Myst. We had a chance to chat with Parker about his process & working with Run Riot Records, one of the PNW’s most industrious independent labels.
On March 19, Parker will be at Lucky Bar along with Megasoid (!), Eames & The Big Reds for a night of dubstep, glitch-hop, lazers & everything in between in a tasty sandwich. Hope to see you there. Here’s the Facebook event.
