Somewhere in the pulse of a strobe-lit basement, where sweat and shadows move in sync with the beat, "Prism EP" emerges - five slabs of groove-driven techno engineered for the nocturnal faithful. Irish producer Dockson (Eddie Duffy) has been refining his craft in the underground, and here, he distills that experience into a collection that balances raw percussive energy with hypnotic synth atmospheres.

Opening track "Verity" sets the scene with swirling drones and chopped vocals, a warm-up ritual where the bassline rumbles like a distant storm, teasing the dancefloor into motion. Then "Uzumaki" twists through percussive echoes and layered textures, its electro-tinged synths bending and stretching like a hypnotic spiral - fitting, given its name’s nod to the world of swirling obsessions.

Things turn deeper with "Uchiha", where a restless synth lead mutates over a foundation of raw, swinging percussion, a subtle nod to classic underground rollers. "Groovy Cycle" stays true to its name, looping hypnotic hooks and breathy vocal textures over deep, stripped-down rhythms, while closer "Donny" injects a jacking energy, its sharp synth stabs and crisp claps recalling the peak-hour sounds of techno’s grittier corners.

With "Prism EP", Dockson delivers a no-nonsense workout that feels at home in the dark, between the sweat and the speakers, where time dissolves into rhythm. It's a reminder that techno, at its core, is about movement - about the cycle of tension and release, repetition and evolution. And as the beat rolls on, so does Dockson’s journey through the ever-expanding depths of the underground.
