Fingathing is a nu jazz / hip-hop band from Manchester , England , and consists of classically trained double bassist Sneaky and DJ / turntablist Peter Parker.

Career

Parker was a finalist at the US DMC World DJ Championships , where a certain Mark Rae was on the jury. Parker later met Rae at a record store in Manchester and was invited to audition with Rae & Christian's live band .

Parker played with Sneaky for a while at Rae & Christian before the two decided to continue as a duo.
