Paul White's debut album (and the first on One Handed) is a 21 track
magic carpet ride of crate-digging psychedelia that takes in film
soundtracks, hip hop, reggae, and his beloved progressive rock. 'The
Strange Dreams Of Paul White' matches the hazy ambience of Boards Of
Canada with the spontaneity and ruggedness of Wu Tang Clan's RZA or
Madlib, showing just why the young South Londoner is so widely admired
by his peers in the increasingly fertile beats scene. A
peculiarly-talented library producer with BBC and Channel 4 credits to
his name, Paul White's earliest transmissions took the form of a series
of mesmerizing beat tapes: rapid-fire scrapbooks of rough-edged audio
artifacts passed between small circles of music-loving friends and
aficionados. A couple of sought-after 7"s and a handful of remixes
later and Paul's was the name to drop amongst the cognoscenti, from
old-schoolers such as Ashley Beedle and Danny Breaks to new heads on
the block like Gaslamp Killer and Hudson Mohawke. Amongst his most
vocal champions is Mary Anne Hobbs, who has invited him to perform as
one of three cutting-edge producers at Londonгs Roundhouse on 15th May.
Benji B and Gilles Peterson have also widely broadcast his skills, the
latter recently featuring Paul in his 'Beat Generation' special amongst
the pick of the new breed. In print, Dazed & Confused enthused that he
'embodies all that is good about a new generation of producers' while
FACT magazine have tipped Paul as a key practitioner in the renaissance
in abstract instrumental hip hop. This last phrase is perhaps a key to
distinguishing Paul from much of the pack: while he appeals to lovers
of prog rock, electronica, and a multitude of bass-heavy hybrids,
there's something unmistakeably 'two turntables' in his approach and
sound, even if he hasn't looked for where the microphone plugs in.
Reviews and features confirmed in Dazed & Confused, Hip Hop Connection,
FACT, and more to come. 'White really knows his stuff and has an
uncommon lightness of touch, resulting in an album which ultimately
flies free of genre constraints and expectations into a realm
altogether more cosmic and dreamlike, strongly influenced by Boards of
Canada and their peerless synthesis of pastoral textures and
gut-punching electronics. One of the best albums yet from the current
wave of smart hip hop producers - although you can draw myriad
connections to peers and influences, you also get the impression that
nobody else could've made this album, and you need to check it.'
