Pronounced 'Fella'!
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. Phaeleh’s epic releases on his own Undertow label ‘Fallen Light’, ‘Tides’ and ‘A World Without’ have cemented his position as one of the most exciting and consistent producers to emerge from his current hometown, Bristol. Phaeleh’s downbeat and heartfelt sound honours the tradition of Bristolian forefathers Massive Attack, Smith & Mighty and Portishead, with a fresh outlook and penchant. His future looks to continue in its ascent with another longplayer release imminent
