Part two of the EXPEDIT:IONS series, a dig through the classic Ikea vinyl shelving unit, is a journey through the work of one of my favourite producers; Paradox.

Dev Pandya, aka Paradox aka Alaska is one of the most prolific and consistent producers within the drum and bass scene. Over the last 20+ years he has worked alongside artists such as Nucleus, Seba and DJ Trax on pretty much every prestigious record label there is in jungle. Metalheadz, Moving Shadow, Good Looking, Reinforced; you name it.

There are perhaps three sides to Paradox. The all out drumfunk side, the dark amen tear outs, and the more atmospheric side of Alaska - All three sounds can be found in this selection.

As I was digging through the shelves it reminded me of the sheer number of Paradox records I own. He put out an incredible amount of music on his own labels, Paradox Music, Outsider, and Esoteric in the 2000s. It was hard work picking out these 18, but these are perhaps my most played over the years and to me represent what Paradox is all about.

As we come to the end of our Hōseki Series, we’ve showcased a collection of some of the scene’s most sought after newcomer artists, all of whom have displayed their raw talent and presented their unique sound. We’ve had an unbelievable amount of support throughout this series, and it’s been a absolute joy to curate and release each instalment.

For the final episode of this saga, we wanted to do something truly special to celebrate the past 11 months. We’ve collected two exceptional tracks featuring some of the scene’s brightest stars. A combination of two fresh faces and the return of our very own core artists, presenting two tracks that perfectly capture the style and sound we love.

We’re over the moon to announce the arrival of Gui, DKN, Brain, and Fearful with their tracks Kaioken and The Final Step, two cuts that pay true homage to the underground sound that we love and mark a release we’re incredibly proud to share. These four artists have become household names over the past two years, consistently producing some of the finest music to emerge within the Drum & Bass scene

This one’s for the heads, the Bristek Steppa crew, and the Melodic Acid lovers alike.

Kaioken

Indescribable… created by robot dinosaurs from the future …

That Scientific Wax

In amongst releasing some in your face jump up in the mid 90s under the aliases Glamour Gold and Gang Related, on Philly Blunt and Dope Dragon respectively, Krust was also making ground breaking Drum n Bass under his more familiar name. The pioneering long players pushed boundaries and many wouldn't of been out of place on a film score. Krust then returned to the scene after a hiatus to offer up similar tracks and a new album, to once again push the envelope.
