Of Paradise Releases

Control Freak Recordings is a London based label pushing dancefloor-oriented sounds with a focus on leftfield techno and UK bass. They are delighted to announce their second V/A compilation Psycho/Soma - the first of many exciting releases for 2021. 12 tracks to move body & mind, spanning a full spectrum of UK club music.

Kincaid’s experimental style which is inspired by global sounds that belong to no specific genre, is steeped in the history of electronic music whilst sounding fresh and relevant to today’s underground clubbing landscape.

A portion of the label’s profits for this release will be split between three mental health charities: Mind, YoungMinds & Black Minds Matter.

Releasing, as he calls it, ‘boom boom music’ on labels such as Hotflush, Lobster Theremin and Neutralizer, Belfast based producer Carlton Doom tees up another set of slammers for this second release on the Hypercolour label.

‘Down In Red Light’ EP features a trio of raw and uncompromising bangers, breaks zip past and the rave is strong in these ones, with Carlton Doom deploying mega bass and brain scrambling motifs with serious intent.  Reger is enlisted for a top-drawer remix of ‘Wolf Whistle’ to boot!

Taken from "Everything Merged Vol. 1", a brand new compilation featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program.


Everything Merged Vol 1

‘Everything Merged’ is 3024’s second series of compilations featuring artists from the 3024 Mentoring Program. At the beginning of the pandemic, label owner Martyn started forming a lively online community of artists, providing them with ideas and inspiration. This community grew larger and larger, and musicians started to connect both online and offline, across continents and genres. It resulted in the “It Was Always There” series of compilations from 2021, and countless independent releases, radio appearances and gigs, putting a host of artists on the map.

Working on the program made Martyn and partner Jeroen Erosie reconsider the purpose of running a record label in 2022. ‘Are we still interested in putting out records via the usual channels?’ Or should a label become more of an umbrella for various activities by a larger community, both online and IRL, with digital and physical products, in other words merge everything into one.

“Everything Merged vol. 1” features the awesome music of a group of 3024 alumni from across the globe, interpreting the post-pandemic phase of electronic music each in their individual ways. There are the contemporary percussive meditations of Adam 2, Solair, Klont and Brooklynite No Sir, the 90s garage and rave inspired music of Karis, Agôn, Slovenia’s Hatterri and Noise Casino from Colombia. The exuberant technicolorist bangers of Guava, Blu-e and Cress and the deep hypnotic explorations of India’s Chhabb, MarceauxMarceaux and The Exhausted.

Undefinably pushing the boundaries of traditional electronic music once more, Typeless taps into the advanced and developed sound of Yerevan based electronic producer, Dave N.A. with the release of ‘Solo Move’.

Aligning with the label's recognisable mixture of both experimental and broken-beat sounds, Dave N.A. not only powerfully brings together both elements, but flaunts melodic ambient overtones – focusing this release on both the listener and the club.

As Pugilist, Alex Dickson has a rich history of fusing multiple genres to produce unique soundscapes that occupy the collapsing space between techno, house, breakbeat and jungle. Extracting and distilling the crucial ingredients from each one and using them to conjure up rich sonic tapestries that are as vivid as they are intoxicating. With his debut EP for Of Paradise, entitled ‘Negative Space’, Dickson pushes his sound even further, serving up a masterclass in atmospheric club chemistry, purpose-built for a post-apocalyptic world.Featuring four deeply effective cuts caught somewhere between offbeat techno, lucid breaks and swaggering bass, ‘Negative Space’ is a four-track vortex born out of heat-soaked landscapes and executed with cold vein precision.

PREMIERE: Pugilist - Circuit Breaker

OP022 // Various Artists - Of Paradise Vol. 5

Vancouver-based artist Destrata chalks up his first solo release for Of Paradise with Counterweight, a multi-layered, richly-textured and often hyper-real journey through new school club music. Placing the critical elements of UK-flavoured bass and breaks under the microscope, Destrata’s scientific approach to production sees him examine everything in minute detail, disassembling and reassembling every aspect of a track until a structurally perfect composition emerges. 

Featuring four highly immersive cuts, Counterweight showcases a flux of atmospheric inspirations, displaying Destrata’s enthusiasm for more ethereal and fractal sounds built to ooze through back rooms, safeguarding the listener with a weighty lushness.

Manchester’s Mercy System debuts on Of Paradise with Procedures, a unique, intricate, boundary-blurring excursion through the heart of UK bass, dubstep, and garage. Comprised of four thought-provoking and immersive compositions, Procedures feels almost monolithic in its sound, evoking vivid images of space, rugged landscapes, and dimly lit venues.

This is intelligent, forward-thinking dance music. A set of alien transmissions, reinterpreted and reconstructed for the club, and the perfect new addition to the label’s ever-evolving library.

UK-based producer and engineer of emotive, off-world soundscapes, Slolek, returns to Of Paradise with Object Desire, a 4-track collection of saturated electronica, experimental bass, and fractured jungle. 

A cinematically tinged journey across arid landscapes and through cavernous rooms, Object Desire is a desert-kissed masterpiece of expertly harvested sounds, an incredibly majestic and thought-provoking journey with a darkly ambient core.
