Paul & Shark - FREETIME 004 - 12"

First single from the forthcoming FREETIME004 12" -release.

Months of lockdown boredom and a lack of nightclubs, house parties and festivals, chemically reinforced togetherness and gurns, has resulted in a new 12” by Paul & Shark.

The first single from the record titled ‘Roxanna_Break_Stuff’ incorporates memories of acid bright neons, the ubiquitous smileys, baggy trousers and bucket hats. Pumping drums, funky synth work and a standout vocal edit makes this one a unique and catchy piece of rave music culture.

The track comes accompanied with a remix by Japan's rising UK garage producer Stones Taro, who's been featured lately in several places with his on target vinyl releases and precise DJ mixes.

We can only hope, but maybe we are on course to experience a “summer of rave” not unlike that of 30 years ago."

Roxanna Break Stuff

PREMIERE: Paul & Shark - Roxanna Break Stuff (Stones Taro Remix)

We went a bit ravey with this one, and that's a good thing.

Breakbeat heavy tune ’T-800 Type Beat’ serves as the power tune in the release through it’s percussive breakbeat, nostalgia inducing synths and an infectious bassline driving up the energy levels alongside sampled vocal chops

St. Petersburg native (and Lobster Theremin & Steel City Dance Discs mainstay) Maruwa provides an amazing 90’s trance influenced remix to the 12”. Having just remixed Skream (omg), her style is exactly what we dig. In this remix jacking drums and classic synth chords form a solid foundation on top of a gritty acid bassline

A bit different one is ‘Takedown Request Edit’, which stands out as the deepest track on the release, keeping things eccentric in terms of the rhythm section while bringing in spacey pads to close out the record on a high note.
