Spencer Parker is one of Europe's leading dj's, his unique style of house music is in demand all around the world. His productions, remixes and re-edits have been supported by renowned dj´s such as Radio Slave, Luciano, Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Ben Watt, Nic Fanciulli and Pete Tong, the future looks bright.

Spencer's style falls under the underground electronic house music category. His favourite record labels range from the techno stylings of Oslo, Planet E, Liebe Detail, and Rekids through to the house of Buzzin Fly, Ibadan, Tsuba and Objektivity. A tipical set from Spencer would include acid house, techno alongside with some cool jackin' tracks and odd trippy vocals. Spencer has held some highly successful residencies in his home town, London. He is regularly guest dj at top venues in all the major capitals, among which are Fabric or The End, as well as recent visits to Russia, Germany, China, America, Australia, France, Italy and Romania.

In 2005 Spencer began his production career with the release of his debut single "Open Your Eyes" and followed it up the following year with “Beautiful Noise”, on Radio Slave's newly launched Rekids label. Early copies soon caught the attention of artist like Nic Fanciulli, Clive Henry, X-Press 2, Ben Watt and Pete Tong. In addition to "Beautiful Noise" Spencer also released the awaited single "Neon" in early 2007 under the London based Tsuba label. Already becoming an anthem for Nic Fanciulli after constantly playing it at his Space (Ibiza), other dj´s like James Zabelia and Laurent Garnier, John Digweed and Hernan Cattaneo also included it in their latest compilations.

In addition to producing original material, Spencer often remixes or re-edits some of the hottest tracks around, having this way, his own secret weapon to create and make his dj sets completely original and exclusive. Recent official remixes include "Freaky Bleepy" for Ben Watt's excellent Buzzin' Fly imprint, the DC10 anthem "Alcoolic" for Cr2, the lead single from Nic Fanciulli's Skylark album, "All I See" and Spencer's well received remix of Foremost Poets' "Moonraker" for NRK Records. He has also prepared hot remixes of Ricardo Villalobos' tracks "Enfants" and Akefe Iku's huge "Mirror Dance" track, although these are unlikely to be released.

In 2008, Spencer's production schedule really stepped up a gear. First out the gates was his collaboration with Diesel (as co.Lab) entitled "Music Box" on Satoshi Tommie's SAW Recordings label. Techno influenced but with a definite house sound, "Music Box" garnered support from Riche Hawtin, Luciano, Ewan Pearson and Radio Slave. To follow this, Spencer released his second single on Tsuba entitled "e Lucia" and his debut single on Buzzin' Fly "Chiho". "The Dreamer EP" and "Romantic" single, both released for Rekids were out by the end of the year along with the second co.Lab single, "Zanzibar", on Saved Records. Never one to rest on his laurels, February 2009 saw Spencer's debut release under Germany's uber-cool Liebe*Detail label.
