UK electronic duo Paranoid London announces new album, Arseholes, Liars, and Electronic Pioneers out February 9th, 2024, featuring Joe Love (Fat Dog), Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Josh Caffe, DJ Genesis, Jennifer Touch and Mutado Pintado. They share lead single ’Love One Self’ featuring Joe Love. (Pre-save the single here orcd.co/pdon013)

Paranoid London, the electronic band of Gerardo Delgado and Quinn Whalley, has become synonymous with stripping acid house back down to its basics, rescuing the sound from smiley faces, rave, and sugary excess while paying respects to its gay, black, American roots. Performing mainly live with hardware only, often with vocal guests, as well as unique hybrid DJ sets, the duo has established a tongue in cheek, grumpy punk sound and attitude without taking it too seriously.
Following 2019’s latest album PL and a bunch of 12” singles and edits, their new long-player Arseholes, Liars, and Electronic Pioneers refers to the cavalcade of c***s we find ourselves surrounded by. Our only respite being the joy that musical geniuses bring. The cover artwork and gatefold of the vinyl reflect this with a collage-like poster including personalities of all kinds, from politicians and royalty to music legends. When we asked them to highlight key music pioneers from their picks, they mentioned American electro don Aldo Marin, British producer Andrea Parker and Post Punk band WIRE.
Inspired by early ‘90s British prog house on the likes of Sabres Of Paradise Records and Guerilla Records, the album presents a step up on their production while the anarchic attitude remains unaltered, unadulterated and undiluted. In Quinn’s words: the album has a slightly more Hi-Fi sound than previous efforts, but retains the urgency and punk rock attitude that we're known for. It was tested over the summer, where it lit up festival stages at Glastonbury, Houghton, Love International, and many, many others.

As expected, PL has recruited a bunch of special guests on vocals including Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, US house veteran Monica “DJ Genesis” Lockett, the novo-New Romantic/gothic, Jennifer Touch, and Joe Love, from Fat Dog, Brixton’s current ones-to-watch. As well, previous collaborators Josh Caffe and Mutado Pintado return for new recordings. All bring something unique to the party, while integrating perfectly with PL’s Fuck you! circuitry.
‘Love One Self’ is the lead single with Joe Love, from South London band Fat Dog, who have recently released their debut single ‘King Of The Slugs’ on Domino. His skill at flamboyant, unpredictable live shows, fusing rock`n`roll and rave, makes Joe a perfect fit with PL.
The song’s title, on paper, might suggest something religious. However, rather than biting Biblical prose, Joe’s lyrics instead liken beating himself “red and raw” to a William Blake-ian vision. The southpaw boasts that his “Left arm looks like Popeye’s.”
The tune’s ruff, rude jack, sits somewhere between Front 242’s Let Your Body Learn, and Adonis’ Chicago house classic, ‘No Way Back.’ Synths scream and shriek, their knobs sharply twisted and tweaked, emitting strobed energy flashes. The acid takes hold as things come to a climax while Joe’s own wailing, growling, and wild, echoed exclamations add to the mad, mounting intensity.

Carl Grant and Tony Gallagher met on the fringes of the underground party scene in South East London. L.A. Synthesis AKA Linear System/Wave Effect was formed in South London in 1991.

Originally from Liverpool and Birmingham, respectively. Discovering a shared and relatively eclectic pool of influences ranging from Model 500 and Black Dog to Kraftwerk and systems composer Steve Reich - the pair began experimenting with their own tracks, though it wasn't until promotional copies of Agraphobia began to emerge towards the end of 1994 that the duo started to attract attention.

Agraphobia was a near-perfect debut, sewing a memorably trippy hook line (an exquisitely beautiful synth riff that was inspired by Reich's explorations in both minimalism and repetition) through a complex backdrop of clanking percussive and Detroit romanticism. Released on Plink Plonk with a Kenny Larkin remix, the single became a fixture in London's clubs, crossing over into both Detroit and ambient techno sets. 

Written and produced in 1995 and perhaps one of the most overlooked UK techno albums of the '90s. Matrix Surfer is a beautiful combination of second-generation Detroit romanticism and inventive grooves. Hard to find but definitely worth tracking down. 

Carl continues writing and producing music, and at present hosts, a monthly/radio show, Serendipity Transmits on Bloop London Radio.He his the co founder of Serendipity Transmits 24/7, his own internet radio station, who he runs alongside his brother Kenny Swann aka The Barefoot DJ, who hosts the regular podcast alongside the station. 

Playing an eclectic blend of afro, soul, boogie, movie soundtracks, to experimental, US deep house/techno, with anything else thats good in between. Expect some nice surprises on their shows.
