LV & Josh Idehen - Imminent (Paper Tiger Remix)

'Make It Through' single out 7th July on Wah Wah 45s. Taken from the album 'Laptop Suntan' out now on CD/digital (listen/buy here: http://papertiger.bandcamp.com/album/laptop-suntan).

iTunes pre-order: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/make-it-through-ep/id859834719

'Make It Through', the third single to be lifted from Paper Tiger's debut album, 'Laptop Suntan', sees the Leeds-based crew on blistering, foot-friendly form. Verbose and witty frontman Raphael Attar delivers a positive and life-affirming message balanced by the band's somewhat sinister trademark keys and hefty doomful bass wobbles. And to guarantee dance floor destruction they were lucky enough to receive a remix of some weight from Manchester's producer of the moment, Werkha (Tru Thoughts), who virtually re-built the track with typically jazz-flavoured but seriously sonorous beats as only he can.

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 Homeboy Sandman, Jaga Jazzist, Rustie, Gaslamp Killer, Daedelus, Alice Russell, Amon Tobin and many more).

As the end of the year approaches, we wanted to do something as a little Christmas giveaway. Rather than your usual free mp3 of a track that didn’t make the grade, or a hastily-compiled mix that nobody will listen to more than once, we decided to do something different. And since we just released our most overtly P-Funk-influenced track to date (<a href="http://http://soundcloud.com/juslikemusic/paper-tiger-send-me-snippets" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Send Me</a>), the time seemed right for this.

Parliament-Funkadelic have always been a huge influence on us (musically and otherwise), but despite their success and critical acclaim, I’m always struck by how few people now seem to have heard of them, let alone explored their vast back catalogue.

For those that aren’t aware, Parliament and Funkadelic were two bands made up of largely the same personnel that came to prominence in the 1970s, eventually merging into a single entity. For me they had everything – they were uncompromising, original, politically radical, innovative in the studio, frighteningly talented live musicians, killed the dancefloor, blew people’s minds, and created their own surreal sci-fi world (through their stage show, liners notes and artwork) for fans to explore.

They have influenced all popular music since – years before Rapper’s Delight, George Clinton was rapping. Before white America was terrorised by Public Enemy and NWA, they were freaked out by P-Funk. While Kraftwerk were experimenting with synthesisers, Bernie Worrell was hitting crowds with wobbly synth bass. Before the era of overblown pop stage shows, $250,000 was spent on the Mothership. They have been sampled by De La Soul, Eric B and Rakim, Dr. Dre, Ultramagnetic MCs, Ice-T, Wu Tang Clan, EPMD, Beastie Boys and hundreds of others. Outkast owe pretty much their entire career to P-Funk (even they say so).

This mix is by no means comprehensive – the two bands released over 20 albums between them, and many members had solo projects. But if you’ve never heard any of them before, this should be a good introduction. If you already know about P-Funk, then you know you’ll enjoy this! Thanks for supporting us in what’s been our best year yet – we’re already excited about what’s to come.

Merry Christmas from Paper Tiger, see you in 2012

Interplanetary Funksmanship: An Introduction To P-Funk

"...puts together all that's best about current electronic music. Intricate but punchy, weird but very wonderful, this is really lush stuff." - Mixmag

"Isn't it lovely? Absolutely wonderful, lovely stuff. Twitter has been going crazy with people asking 'What is THIS? I need it!'" - Lauren Laverne, BBC Radio 6music

Following the success of their debut ‘Worldwide Takeover’ EP and ‘Send Me’ single on Jus Like Music in 2011, Paper Tiger join forces with Mind on Fire Records for their first full vinyl release.

The third vinyl release on the MOF imprint, after 2011’s ‘Great Minds’ compilation and Danny Drive Thru’s ‘Psychedelia Smith’ single, the Illuminated EP features three superb Paper Tiger productions – Delight Dub, Illuminated and Modern Dynamics. The release is topped off with remixes by Wisent from Lucky Me, who returned the favour with a Paper Tiger remix on his forthcoming EP, and upcoming UK producer Blacksmif who was recently Soundcloud’s artist of the day and has his debut solo EP "And The Sun Rose Out" dropping in March on Synchronicity Records.

With a limited run of only 300 copies, featuring full artwork by onefiveeight artist James Hayes, the record drops on 27th February, before the band take to the road in preparation for a summer of festivals.

Paper Tiger began life as a bedroom experiment: produced future hip-hop, broken beat and 2-step incorporating live instruments and musicians. Their demos and early releases with Jus Like Music ('Worldwide Takeover EP' featuring a guest appearance by Stones Throw's Dudley Perkins, and the 'Send Me' single) have gained support from Radio 1, 1xtra, Charlie Dark and 6Music, plus DJ support from Mistajam, LV, Jamie xx, Slugabed, John Kennedy (XFM), Jazzsteppa, 16 Bit and more. They have also released acclaimed remixes for DELS feat. Joe Goddard (Big Dada), Sneaky (Fingathing/Big Chill Recordings), Stac (Wah Wah 45s), Scrimshire (Wah Wah 45s) and Dark Sky (Black Acre/Ninja Tune).

Over the past 18 months, a 7-piece live band from Leeds has been performing these productions and more to packed-out audiences across Europe. The shows are a fully live, uninterrupted mix of spaced-out hip-hop, garage, dubstep and more: no sequencers or backing tracks, just furious pushing of buttons and flailing of limbs. The band has shared some of the country's most prestigious stages and festival bills (including the Soundwave and Outlook Festivals in Croatia) with the likes of Hexstatic, Dam Funk, Jaga Jazzist, The Heatwave, The Bug and Warrior Queen, Rustie, Tokimonsta, Nightmares On Wax, The Herbaliser, TM Juke & Alice Russell, The Bays, Bonobo, Krafty Kuts, Freq Nasty, Mary- Anne Hobbs, Benji B, Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, Benga and many more.

The band have been a regular favourite at Mind on Fire events in Manchester since performing at Eurocultured in 2010, and after a number of cross-pennine collaborations including the band being featured on MOF’s ‘Hear No Evil, See No Evil’ compilation CD in 2011, this project feels like a natural progression.

"One of the most exciting young beat-making outfits around, with a deep understanding of musicality and a penchant for a dirty bass line!" Dom Servini, Wah Wah 45s/Colourful Radio

"Perfect blend of souly vibes and hard knockin' thump." - Slugabed (Ninja Tune) 

"A rare and unexpected gem. Technically brilliant...a diverse and refreshing
journey through modern music." - CityLifers Magazine 

"Ridiculous!" - Mistajam (BBC Radio 1xtra) 

"Undoubtedly the night's show-stealers... joyous, genre-annhilating." - Daily Star
