Having an ear for deep jazzy tunes and being hugely influenced by the early Metalheadz era, Prism continues this sound in his selection of music playing vinyl and unreleased dubs from all around the world.

FIS - The Commons on Exit Recordings at www.catapult.co.uk

pre order FIS - The Commons on Exit Recordings at www.catapult.co.uk here - FIS might not be a name you have heard of, and his music might be unfamiliar due to his very limited back catalogue, but don’t let that allow you to come to any premature assumptions. His music is of incomparable quality, fully matured, and there really is nothing out there that sounds quite like it. Words like ‘organic’ ‘crusty’ ‘raw’ ‘insane’ spring to mind but none of them quite hit the nail on the head. At first it might be an awkward listen because it just doesn’t make any sense, it’s a bit like chaos theory, its so chaotic and unpredictable that it comes full circle and creates a picture that you really need to step back and view from a distance to appreciate. Slight elements of modern electronica reside amongst a much more earthy, tribal and spiritual backdrop of hand picked field recordings.
