About Release
Hellfish – Call me Master PRSPCT352 arrives on PRSPCT Recordings as a 2×12-inch vinyl that sits at the crossroads of hardcore aggression and hip-hop-tinged techno. Issued on 16 October 2026, the double EP packs sixteen cuts that explore a kinetic blend of break-driven fury and stripped-back rhythmic swagger, offering a fresh perspective on the label’s hard-edged catalogue.
Within the PRSPCT orbit, Call me Master follows a string of releases that have reinforced the imprint’s reputation for boundary-pushing dancefloor weapons. Earlier this year the label issued Coco Bryce’s “Our Darkness” (PRSPCT354) and Kilbourne’s “Hardcore Is A Feeling” (PRSPCT358), both of which leaned into dark, bass-heavy terrain. Hellfish’s offering arrives after the “Act Of Resistance EP” by Krista Bourgeois (PRSPCT350) and the “Completely Unreal EP” from The DJ Producer (PRSPCT334), situating the record amid a period of intensified sonic experimentation on PRSPCT.
Side A opens with “Long Live The King”, a title that hints at regal swagger and immediately sets a commanding tone. It segues into “These Eyes”, a track that sustains the momentum while shifting the mood toward a more introspective groove. The third cut, “Beer In My Blood”, continues the side’s forward thrust, its title suggesting a raw, visceral energy that keeps the listener engaged. The B-side begins with “Ninety One”, a nod to classic rave tempos that reasserts the record’s hardcore roots before “XL Aftermath” introduces a slightly more spacious feel, allowing the rhythm to breathe. The closing track of the side, “23: rd Century B-Boy”, caps the sequence with a title that evokes street-level vitality, tying the side together with a nod to the culture that underpins the music.
Side C shifts the palette with “Bonez”, a title that conjures skeletal precision and a tight, percussive focus. “Let The Lions Out” follows, expanding the atmosphere into a more expansive, perhaps even anthemic space, before “No Mercy” returns to the relentless drive that defines the record’s core. “Ain’t Loud Enough” rounds out the side, its self-referential title suggesting a purposeful restraint that contrasts with the surrounding intensity.
Side D delivers the final statements. “Sorry” opens the side with a tone of contrition that feels deliberately placed before the titular “Call Me Master”, a track that stakes a claim and serves as the record’s thematic anchor. “I’m Still Not Leaving” continues the narrative of persistence, while “Fuck Off” closes the set with unapologetic defiance, leaving the listener with a lingering sense of resolve.
Hellfish’s recent output on Deathchant Records—including “Deathchant Breakz” (DEATHCHANTLP21) and the “Fuk The Rave” EP (DEATHCHANT113)—has consistently explored the intersection of hardcore ferocity and breakbeat manipulation. Call me Master extends that trajectory, but the partnership with PRSPCT Recordings brings a sharper, techno-inflected edge that feels both familiar and forward-looking. Within the label’s catalogue, the record complements earlier PRSPCT releases while pushing the imprint’s aesthetic toward a more hybridized sound.
For DJs, the record offers a versatile toolkit. The opening tracks of each side provide immediate impact for peak-time moments, while the mid-section cuts such as “Let The Lions Out” and “No Mercy” supply smoother transitions for longer, evolving sets. The final side’s narrative arc makes it suitable for closing or for building tension before a set’s climax. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive sequencing across four sides, which rewards attentive listening and deep digging.
The physical package is presented as a 2×12-inch vinyl set, matching the format of Hellfish’s earlier “Ultimate Hellfish LP 2x12” on Deathchant Records. The double-disc configuration allows ample space for each track’s dynamics, preserving the raw energy of the production.
