Andrea Parker is a British electronic music producer, record label proprietor and DJ from Pembury, Kent, England.
[1] Despite having a background in cello playing, Parker was influenced by electronic pioneers such as Art Of Noise and Jean Michel Jarre.
[1][2] She formed the group Inky Blacknuss with producers Alex Knight and Ian Tregoning in 1993 for Andrew Weatherall's Sabrettes label,[3][4] before signing to hip hop label Mo' Wax for her solo output, releasing her debut album Kiss My Arp (a reference to the vintage ARP synthesisers) in 1999.
In 2002, Parker formed the Touchin' Bass imprint after splitting from Mo' Wax, citing problems with the label's management merger, and the subsequent hold up in releasing any of her further projects.
[2] With her long-time production partner David Morley, her output became rooted in a darker, less organic sound than her work with Mo' Wax.
