A new appreciation of underground music from the mid 90s has led to a surge in sales of back catalogues of two labels; Prime Directive and Precise Daily Rhythm. Off the back of this sell-out success, Seven Hills Recordings retrospectively re-released these classic vinyl tracks on vinyl which sold out within a month and across digital platforms, resulting in profitable record sales in 2020. One of the creators behind the labels and the music is Andy Jones, aka Instrawmental.

He is well known for managing music and film projects for the youth service, as well as teaching music production all over the island.
