London hailing Paul White is a young producer with an intuitive style described as the rawest of hip hop banged out on an MPC, and yet strange, funny and curiously catchy too. A man as Dazed & Confused wrote embodies all that is good about a new generation of producers has had support from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Benji B, Gilles Peterson, and many more. Having impressed with his short, snappy, dancefloor-smashing 7s for One Handed Music, the label that's also home to Bullion, his soon to be released The Strange Dreams of Paul White is posited less as a hip-hop album and more as an album of crate-digging psychedelia.
White is yet another contemporary musician paying a palpable debt to Radiophonic and library music, perhaps inevitably given White's day-job as a library producer (with BBC and Channel 4 credits to his name). He produces at his South London rooftop studio, The Skylight, which may go some way to explaining the airy, expansive quality of his tracks. He might be a huge prog fan, but there's an overriding ruff hip-hop aesthetic to his work which keep things fresh and focused.
