PHAELEH – UK

Since his debut release in 2008, Phaeleh aka Matt Preston has developed an inimitable style of cinematic electronic music, which floats between the shifting tempos and timbres of dubstep, garage, electronica and house music. His large catalogue of epic releases have cemented his position as one of the most exciting and consistent producers to emerge from his current hometown, Bristol.

His main inspirations are Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, LTJ Bukem, Global Communication and Brian Eno. His compositions combine live instrumentation and electronic production.

“Stark, minimalist beauty…it’s the sound of the UK’s electronica vanguard” – Mojo Magazine “Sublime, carries on from where Burial left off” – DJ Magazine
