PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- JAMIE PATON Live At We Out Here 2024
A veteran of the international dance Electronic scene for more than 15 years, the Bristol-based DJ, producer and graphic designer Jamie Paton, started his journey at first as one half of Cage & Aviary, alongside George Hoyle, to go solo, dropping his letfield and trippy sound for well-renowned labels such as Höga Nord, Emotional Especial, Bahnsteig 23, ESP Institute and Multi Culti.

A mind-boggling atmospheric slo-mo blend of techno, polyrhythms, dub, bass and broken beats, rolls through a vivid and crackling carpet of crunchy, shuffling and broken percussive patterns, punctuated by resonant sharp dub grooves, deep fuzz-soaked bass jigglings, fluttering bleeps and glitchy FX, circled by chiming uncanny synth resonances.

- Dublin-based, Welsh acid /breaks /electro music producer CH415 – “Counting Down” off “Sequenced Thoughts” EP 12″ [Who Is Paula]
