Berlin-born Florian aka Evil Needle, now a resident of France, has spent the last couple of years steadily making his mark and developing his style to a point of smoothness that is hard to compete with.

2011 saw him drop both the ‘Cirrostratus’ and ‘Mood’ albums, with both acting as examples of a producer with an ear for the more soulful side of music and a dedication to detail that takes him beyond standard beatmaking.

More at home when crafting reverb drenched, Fender Rhodes laced, night-time music but equally adept at taking it uptempo, Needle will be surprising people with his versatility when they hear what’s planned on his debut PRISM outing.
