Now & Next: Prisma Deer

Now & Next is a quick-fire interview series built around two simple but telling questions. We ask artists to reflect on where they’re at in their career and creative journey, and where they’re headed next. For each answer, they pick two tracks: one that sums up where they’re at right now, and another that hints at where they’re going. The artists also drop a few lines about each track, giving us a peek into their creative mindset.

Prisma Deer Q&A

Where Am I?

I am swimming in the ocean, letting the current guide me toward a destination I don't yet know, but with very clear dreams and desires in my mind. At the same time, I understand that the path itself will mold and change those dreams in the process. I know the waves may knock me down, but I will continue swimming and exploring, understanding and learning. I always look back and remember with deep gratitude for how far I've come and for those who have been part of this journey.

Where Am I Going?

I am going to a place without a set destination, letting everything flow. Without rigid expectations, but always aspiring for more. To a place where I am conscious that one can always continue learning new things and that the important thing is to constantly challenge myself. It's a place where I don't take things easy, because stopping is not an option, but I understand that no matter how consistent I am, things will happen when they are meant to happen.

Track (Now):
Stoer
Frederik Hendrik

"This track is a reflection of my current state of mind: playful, exploratory, and rooted in the diverse influences of House and Disco. It shows a balance with a dynamic structure where the synths and sections evolve constantly while, yet the central idea remains clear and focused from start to finish."

Track (Next):
Feel it much?
Dam Swindle

"I’m leaning towards a more professional, club-oriented sound, and Dam Swindle and the Heist Recordings catalog represents that direction perfectly. To me, this track is a perfect example of what I want to achieve. It features high-level mixing and a rhythmic complexity designed for the dancefloor, while maintaining an experimental edge through its synth work."
