And then there was Paul White, sounding like what would happen if you let DJ Shadow loose in the BBC Sound Archives. To label Paul ‘UK Hip Hop’ is at once both totally inaccurate and at the same time absolutely spot on. I’ve pulled together a collection of mixes, reviews and even a free download for you kids to enjoy. Expect beautiful synths, soaring strings, jammin’ beats, glitches, and 70′s television samples.

‘No, no, no, a little more humanity please.’

Below is a guest mix Paul dropped on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio 1 show from 12th January ’09. Featuring tracks from Paul’s debut album ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’. (Be patient and let it buffer)

‘Filled with a deliciously deft aural trickery, you get the impression that only someone truly in love with music could have created it…’ From a review of Paul’s first album. Hear more here.

And finally, ’19 weird and wonderful beat constructions fresh from Paul’s South London attic studio, known as ‘The Skylight’. Woozy, psychedelic hiphop from one of the most fertile imaginations of our time.’
