Paper Air Waves - Nov 23

What do you get when you take 2 people who share a love for Italo Disco, EBM, synths and the movie Tron? We're not totally sure but that's what the basis of Chris Massey and Elliott Lion (of the acclaimed British band "Editors") came up with under the 'ISO City' guise and we're frothing like mad to drop this 2 tracker which absolutely slaps like crazy!

Light Cycle revs like crazy with a snarling arp bass line atop pounding tom drums and snappy percussion right before a laser blasting synth line explodes into your frontal lobe and releases warp factor endorphins all over your brain! Imagine a cosmic rave aboard The Death Star with everyone doing that dance off Buck Rogers whilst tripping off Romulan wine and you're halfway there. Serious epic soundscape.

Master Control Programme continues the throbbing arp line action and goes into an altogether deeper cosmic zone with some cold wave-esque buzzy synth lines which lead way to the kind of synth stabs that make John Carpenter's Halloween theme sound like something for sunsets at Mambo. Hooky and hypnotic as heck.with a belly full of mushrooms and a rush of dopamine this one could well & truly send you into the outer reaches of the cosmos. Strap in!

There must be something in the water in the northern parts of Norway as it keeps producing wonderfully leftfield electronic music. MAde is the latest to add to a rich lineage and his new EP comes with some heavyweight remixes that will leave DJs scratching their heads, wondering which mix to play.

Gjer Inkort is a no nonsense, heads down, peak time banger that puts it’s foot to the floor and doesn’t let up. Jacking drums, nagging synths and a driving bass bring the heat.

Making his first appearance on Paper, Jimpster shows why he’s one of the the world’s most respected house producers. Tight beats, wonky synths, rolling NRG bass,and immaculate production, there’s not a floor this won’t rock.

Beat Resurgence: Diving into Sexy Lazer's 'Mid Life Crisis' Remix Collection. The original track, "Mid Life Crisis" by an Icelandic, Copenhagen based artist Sexy Lazer emerged from the depths of a personal spiritual journey – a turbulent yet transformative experience. The confusion, the waves of emotions, the melancholy – all channeled into a hurricane of energy that birthed not just a song, but an entire concept. Sexy Lazer turned pain into power, humorously embracing the tumultuous journey while sipping on "Mid Life Cider." 

Now, The narrative persists with a remix collection ready to resonate with a global audience. We invite you to rediscover "Mid Life Crisis" through the lenses of three distinguished artists, each infusing their musical identity into the mix. The first remix takes flight under the skilled hands of Panthera Krause, who is based in Leipzig and co-label owner of fulfilment. His interoperation of the original features arpeggiated synths, detuned elements, and distorted percussion, creating an edgy, unpredictable atmosphere. Elevated bass guitar notes ground the track, while Krause injects a distinctive rawness, channeling the unapologetic spirit of punk rock. 

Colossio and Theus Mago join forces in the crafting of the second remix, both hailing from the vibrant music scene in Mexico. They embody the spirit of "Blade" in their remix for Sexy Lazer's "Midlife Crisis" infusing the track with the legendary 303 blending nostalgia with futuristic energy. A robust baseline propels listeners onward, supported by percussive elements that add depth and texture to the musical experience. 

The remix package for "Midlife Crisis" is set to make its digital debut on February 16th. Hit reset, take another shot, and let those remixes be the soundtracks to your journey towards joy and fulfillment – even if 
it's just for the duration of this musical ride.

Beatservice Records offer up something rather special this time out, with Flash Atkins arriving on the label with no less than three remixes of Third Attempt's 'Keep Your Head Up'.

Producer Flash Atkins should need little in the way of introduction, the Manchester-based artist having served up countless dancefloor moments over the years - most often on the legendary Paper Recordings. He's known for crafting glittering, disco-centric sounds, and has worked with the likes of Kathy Diamond, Leilani, George Demure, and Danielle Moore among others.

Here, he delivers typically refined versions of 'Keep Your Head Up' from label regular, Third Attempt, a track lifted from last year's brilliant 'Momentary Bliss' album. The main remix toughens up the drums to add a little more thrust to the dreamy instrumentation, with spacey overdubs and staccato synths adding a gently psychedelic quality to the memorable strings and piano licks of the original.

The 'Dub' version strips back the orchestration to allow the rhythm to take centre stage as a distorted riff carries the groove across a floor-focused arrangement - a hypnotic motif that carries through to the gorgeously atmospheric 'Reprise' mix, where the drums give way to the celestial harmonics and evocative vocal textures.

Three magnificent interpretations, each of which is primed to enhance various shades of musical mood - from the main room to the back room and far, far beyond.

Here's my set from the Extinction Rebellion fundraiser at Hebden Bridge Trades club. It was a brilliant night playing to an up-for-it party crew  that spans the generations, as only the Calder Valley can do.

MUSIC IS THE ANSWER W/ SECRET SOUL SOCIETY + GUEST: FLASH ATKINS - 12 APR 24

Born in Bolton...based in Stockport...
Massey is very much an integral stalwart of Manchester’s underground electronic music scene where he is immersed in music on a daily basis and juggles multiple roles from producer, engineer, remixer, promoter, booker, programmer, radio host, A&R & tea boy (obvs).

He runs his own label Sprechen and oversees an A&R/label manager role for the legendary Paper Recordings as well being a resident at Manchester’s Sticky Heat alongside running a whole manner of club, music & arts related events via Sprechen.

His DJ sets jump genres from house to disco, Italo, ‘jolly techno’ to boogie & ‘weird
Stuff’ alongside his own productions & remixes which have entertained dancers
at gatherings not only at clubs and festivals in the UK, but also across across
Europe at the likes of Barbarellas Discotheque & for Frekuensi Minor in
Jakarta. 

He has DJ'd alongside the likes of Lindstrøm, Optima, Cynthia, Justin Robertson,
Nancy Noise, Rex the Dog, Horse Meat Disco, Hifi Sean, Raw Silk &
Awesome Tapes From Africa and Sean Johnston/Hardway Bros at the seminal night ALFOS which Sprechen promotes in Manchester.

More recently her has developed Sprechen into being more than just a record
label and to be more a hub to nurture new & emerging creatives and where he
can assist and mentor in the final mix & engineering stage of music
production. 

His latest venture has been 'The Thief Of Time', a cross genre studio project which focuses on music away from the clubs and is heavily influenced by a life lived through the 80's with sounds, stylings, aesthetics & narratives all taking place in the semi autobiographical productions.

“For the Feincast I wanted to try and focus on an sounds that are very much in my sets when playing the late set at any Sticky Heat parties as well as at ALFOS but which are also quite easily linked to my sound as The Thief Of Time. Being a child of the 80’s I have a particular findness for sounds that are heavy on synths and packing loads of energy whether that’s fast or slow, stripped back of stacked with loads of layers. Hopefully that is fully represented here!"

Let The People In! Mixtape #11 - Massey

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!
