From Beyond bolts across the sky faster than a speeding star and lands back at Paper Towers with another E.P. of analogue sounding & chest pounding cuts of deep disco sounds.

Protostar turns up the squelch-o-meter to high overload with a bit off a cosmic-ness sprinkled over s topping beat that altogether sounds like a lost Emperor Machine production.

Planetary Groove goes for a bit of sleaze and chug with an accompanying funk guitar & synth stabs to give us a bit of a ‘baggy’ electronic workout…you’re twisting my melon man etc etc.

Closing off the E.P. is Time Hop in all its electrons shimmying glory. Snappy, hooky but stripped back & straight forward. Ready to work the dance floor and start a party….big stuff!

Support from:

Duncan Grey: "Dynamite! All 3 tracks are top shelf. Protostar is going to take some beating in the months ahead"

Neil Diablo; "Good E.P. Planetary Groove sounds like 'Il Veleiro on 33! Thumbs up!"

Get Down Edits: "Planetary Groove sounds great!"

Dicky Trisco: "Love it! Planetary Groove sounds like someone jamming to Jingo after taking a blast of DMT. Perfectomundo!"

Pete Herbert: "Yes superb.. Planetary Groove and Time Hop both doing it for me!"

Massey: "Massive scenes. Title track is the winner for me but all over this is a hefty strong package! Great work!"

From Beyond - Planetary Groove

Ben 'Flash Atkins' Davis and Tom '2 Billion Beats' Lonsborough have teamed up for a project that goes deep down to the depths of tripped out house music.

The Day has a rolling acid sub bass and haunting vocal sample that brings the soul. Horns spar with percussion, bongoes, synths and Rhodes as the broken beats thump on the one.

Big Chief keeps the vibe techy and slo-mo as a 303 riff tweeks over the sub. A vocal chant and synth drive things along as the beat gets baggier and the build is on. Big Chief of the title brings his Mardi Gras chant to the break, then the Happy Mondays are channeled by way of Fabric as strings bring all the elements back together. 

Moon of Endor is based around a chunky film sample, which the nerds among us should be able to work out from the title. Its a return of slo-mo tribal acid business by way of the jungle with synth chords saving it from the dark side and its a skywalk to the stars.

J​ust one month after his ‘Super Soul’ release on Soul Stage Records, Orlando Voorn is back with more lush house, disco and soul infusions that feature remixes from Morgan Anson & Luke Neptune and Paul Donton. 

Orlando Voorn is a Dutchman who has long provided a key link to Detroit techno in the States. He has released on the likes of Kevin Saunderson's KMS and Derrick May's Fragile as well as having collaborated with Juan Atkins and Blake Baxter. His recent run of fantastic form has seen him serve up more organic, cosy and feel good bombs for the club that lean heavily on soul, funk and house. This latest offering comes, as the label says, after ​"six months of pushing boundaries to make something uncompromising that we can be proud of".

The excellent 'Around Me' is timeless Detroit house with a nagging lead over the top of rattling percussive drums and wiggling basslines. Part filter house, party New York swing, part gospel, it's a brilliantly characterful track that brings plenty to any party.

Paper has been pushing all things deep house and disco from the furthest reaches of the world via the good old North of England since the early Nineties.

The label has already featured a new series of EP's showcasing the best new dance music and future funk, house and disco from the world's finest producers.

We kicked off in 1994, leading the upsurge in popularity of UK house music within an underground scene previously dominated by a soundtrack from US cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York. Enhanced by a strong visual identity, as well as impeccable musical quality control PAPER was, and is one of the world’s most treasured record companies.

It continues to be funk-fuelled and bottom heavy!
