Fis
Iterations
With the release of his Preparations EP on Tri Angle in late 2013, Fis and his inimitable and wholly original sound was
introduced to the wider world. Since he'd first emerged with a series of ultra rare 12" releases in 2012 on various drum
and bass oriented labels the Wellington, New Zealand based producer had quietly been tipped on the underground as one to
watch. The praise heaped upon Preparations definitely seemed to justify the hype that had quietly been building behind
the man otherwise known as Oliver Peryman. Pitchfork referred to Fis as an artist who - was in the process of uncovering
an altogether new rhythmic grammar - and on Iterations, his latest EP on Tri Angle, he continues to do just that. It's
still a pretty daunting task trying to explain exactly what Fis sounds like. He's been referred to as a drum and bass
producer, but as XLR8R have rightly stated, "even in the context of the drum & bass resurgence there's little question
that Fis is exploring some exciting, uncharted territory." The disorientating and confounding rhythms are still present,
but in comparison to Preparations, Iterations feels more expansive and oceanic, less claustrophobic and ever so slightly
more approachable. What these 4 tracks confirm is that Fis is a producer who has something important and special to add
to the electronic genre.
