The second in PRISM’s mix series comes from Evil Needle, a producer who has seen his stock steadily rise throughout the last couple of years with the release of his ‘Mood’ and ‘Equilibrium’ albums.

For this mix he’s chosen to go in a different direction to most and selected his favourite video game music, giving shine to a number of Japanese producers who make sounds that are a world away from the 8-bit themes that normally spring to mind. Spanning styles from jazz to prog to electronic music this is one of the most interesting mixes we’ve heard in a minute.
