Los Angeles-based British artist/producer/DJ Rupert Parkes -- known as Photek -- was an early innovator in the mid ‘90s drum ‘n’ bass scene, programmed for Nine Inch Nails and has remixed Daft Punk and Moby. Check out these four new exclusive tracks.
"There's a cinematic drama running through the songs on "Ultra,"
with melodies that float and twist amid rich instrumentation
– violin, cello, accordion, upright bass and lap steel guitar – that creates a timeless
and entirely unique blend of the styles Lopez has soaked up as a musician." (Eric Swedlund - Zocalo Magazine)
Produced by the great Tucker Martine, the album “plumbs the American songbook” and features guest appearances from Colin Meloy, Jim James, Bela Fleck, Karl Blau, Basia Bulat and Brian Blade, among many others.
“Like a post-collegiate Fiona Apple jamming with Snow Patrol, The Autumn Film serves up a piano-drenched sincerity topped off with a voice that’s wise and heartbroken beyond its years” (The Onion).
After the release of his debut with A Lot Like Birds, Travis took it upon himself to put together some of these songs as well as a few unreleased tracks for this EP -- titled Wha Happen? -- a release which merges his diverse set of styles and influences.
Modern sounds combined with ancient instruments accompany visual imagery and storytelling that will take you on a journey through Himalayas past and present, exploring folktales, mythological narratives, the interconnectedness of surrounding regions, and tomorrow’s inevitable change.

Los Angeles based songwriter Inara George is one half of The Bird and the Bee, a member of the band Merrick, and also a member of the trio The Living Sisters.
While she is active in many projects she has found time to put out three amazing solo albums, of which “All Rise” and “Accidental Experimental” were produced by fellow SSP-represented artist/producer Michael Andrews.
Inara has enjoyed success, with “All Rise” being a KCRW favorite, and she continues to make beautiful music.
SSP recently licensed her cover of Joe Jackson’s “Fools In Love” on Grey’s Anatomy and we look forward to her future projects.
