Logos

London-based DJ and producer Logos (James Parker) is one of the primary architects of a lush, atmospheric form of grime influenced by ambient and ’90s jungle and referred to as “weightless.” Initially appearing on the dubstep scene during the late 2000s, he earned an enormous amount of acclaim for his releases on Dusk + Blackdown’s Keysound Recordings, starting with the Kowloon EP in 2012 and continuing with the 2013 full-length Cold Mission. He became a resident DJ at Boxed, a monthly series of instrumental grime events founded by Mr. Mitch and co-hosted by Slackk. Along with fellow grime innovator Mumdance (Jack Adams), Logos produced two EPs (Genesis and Legion/Proto), leading up to the 2015 full-length Proto, which was released by Pinch’s Tectonic label. Mumdance and Logos also co-founded another event series and label, Different Circles, and the two collaborated with Nino Pedone (Shapednoise) for a William Gibson-inspired EP under the name the Sprawl. In 2016, Mumdance and Logos showcased their label with the mix CD Present Different Circles. ~ Paul Simpson
