Brain - Prisma (2024)

Prisma is a sonic journey that explores the interplay between light and dark, breaking down the many nuances of drum and bass into a vibrant palette of transformative sound. Inspired by how a prism disperses light, each track reveals a distinct dimension, from high-energy bursts to more introspective soundscapes. On a spiritual level, Prisma symbolizes clarity, balance, and personal transformation. Just as a prism transforms white light into a multi-coloured spectrum, this album seeks to transform the listeners emotions and experiences into a deep dive, encompassing all the colours of the soul. Powerful bass lines and immersive atmospheres guide the listener through a journey of purification, balance, and connection, creating a harmonious space where the divine and the earthly meet. Each track reflects the diversity of sound and musics ability to convey both light and shadow, always maintaining a perfect balance between the ethereal and the raw, the melodic and the visceral. Additionally, Prisma is influenced by Latin American rhythmic patterns such as salsa, cumbia, vallenato, and carranga, albeit indirectly, avoiding the common use of sampling well-known instruments or songs. The influence manifests itself more in the rhythms and beats than in traditional sonic elements, giving the album a distinctive and deep character. With 13 tracks in total, the album encompasses a variety of styles including drum and bass, jungle, dubstep, breakbeat, and ambient. Two key collaborations stand out: one with Russian producer Kelayx and another with Colombian producer Mad Complex. Created by Colombian-born producer and DJ Juan Aguilar, aka Brain, Prisma marks his first full-length album release on Dispatch Recordings.
