Words by Quinn Whalley

"This was our first ever live gig as Paranoid London. It was late 2008 at the Warehouse Project in Manchester & the resident DJ, Krysko, took a risk & booked us knowing we’d never done it before. We were booked for 2 hours & we’d only released 2 records so we had to write a whole set from scratch. We didn’t finish writing it until 5 am the morning before the gig so we didn’t have time to rehearse it even once. It’s a hybrid live & DJ set. We bought Paris Brightledge over from Chicago to do some vocals & his friend Marshall Jefferson happened to live in Manchester & got up to do some backing vocals. You can hear the crowd in parts coming through Paris’ microphone. We’re shitting our pants but somehow we pulled it off & caught the bug for doing it live. Hope you enjoy it"

I am still overwhelmed by that night. I played my Golden Pudel debut that night alongside with good friends. I also tried to challenge myself and played as many vinyls as possible and it turned out to be one of my best sets yet. Thanks to all the dancers and the Golden Pudel Club - see you soon with a new 4EO edition!

House in all it’s forms that’s what Natalie is all about. Raised in a multiculutural household, Robinson grows into a cultural connection to Gospel, Funk, Soul, R&B and traditional Ghanaian music. Roots that built the foundation for her aesthetic and raucous DJing style delivering a virtuous blend of house music.

In this 1-hour mix she takes you into some deep, sunny and pumping house music with some raw, sexy & dusty edges exactly the way we love it! 
Thanks so much Natalie<3 

Track highlight:
Let It Go – Toka Project (Highlight)

“Let It Go” by Toka Project is one of the first records I bought when I started collecting. This track touched something in me and gave me a feeling of calm, warmth, and connection.

The groove is deep and steady, the chords are jazzy and soulful. There’s a softness in it, but also strength. It creates space to breathe, to feel, to let go.

It’s one of those tracks that doesn’t try too hard – it just flows. It reminded me of what music can do. That’s why it’s a highlight for me.
