That's All There is

Since their humble beginnings in a Wolverhampton suburban bedroom,  Leeds-based hip hop, space jazz and bass-loving outfit Paper Tiger have carved their own niche in the electronic music scene, both as a heavyweight production outfit and as a damned fine live band (sharing stages with the likes of Jaga Jazzist, Rustie, Gaslamp Killer, Daedelus, Alice Russell, Amon Tobin and many more).

Following on from the release of Laptop Suntan, their much acclaimed full length debut on Wah Wah 45s, Paper Tiger proudly present the second single to be lifted from the album.

Irresistible features the lush vocals of Sabira Jade, and is a low slung, hip hop joint with an immediate hook that’ll get lodged in your brain for months to come, plus those trademark Paper Tiger  beats to move your feet. It comes complete with a devastating garage flavoured mix from Debian Blak, as well as clean and, er, not so clean versions of Paper Tiger’s own twist on the original, entitled Resistance, and featuring the witticisms of frontman Raphael Attar.

“Sparkling live future bass music. Paper Tiger manage to put together all that’s best about current electronic music together in one package. Intricate but punchy, weird but very wonderful.” 
Joe Muggs, Mixmag

“Really excited about this.” Joe Goddard (Hot Chip/Greco Roman)

"Isn't it lovely? Wonderful, lovely stuff." - Lauren Laverne (BBC 6Music)

Greg Wilson – July 2012

GREG WILSON’S EARLY 80’S FLOORFILLERS: 
A fascinating insight on how the fading Jazz-Funk scene gave way to the emerging Electro-Funk movement in the early 80’s, ‘Greg Wilson’s Early 80’s Floorfillers’, marks the 30th anniversary of when these tracks first appeared. Compiled from his record lists of the time, and unfolding month by month, Greg Wilson counts down the Top 10 Floorfillers played at his venues during the key years of ’82 and ’83. Featured, most notably, on his Tuesday sessions at Wigan Pier and Wednesday gatherings at Legend in Manchester, the most cutting-edge weekly black music nights of the era, these were the clubs most associated with the evolving Electro-Funk sound.

The majority of music played on the black scene in the UK was initially only available on import, mainly out of New York during this period, with the club nights described as ‘upfront’, meaning that the DJ’s were way ahead of the curve – what they played now, others played later, or not at all. Without these DJ’s, many now classic dance tracks would never have become UK hits (many without enjoying similar crossover success in the US) – the reason they were released here in the first place was because these specialist DJ’s were breaking them via the underground.

Things would change in a big way during those 2 years; we were entering the hybrid age for dance music, and the oncoming House and Techno and Hip Hop directions would all owe a huge debt to this era of dance alchemy and groove experimentation.
