One of Fondation’s main goal is to discover new talents. Well that’s good, because Paul Loraine is probably UK’s best kept secret to date.
Paul may not have made a name for himself as a producer yet but is nevertheless a well-known DJ in the UK and in the music industry. DJing from a very young age, Paul’s dedication to cutting-edge techniques and experimental sounds has taken him across the full spectrum of dance music.
His genuine science of DJing caused him to play the biggest clubs and to be aired by the most famous radio shows of Great Britain. He is even praised by the press as “one of the best british dj’s on the scene” (Musik magazine)
When we discovered Paul’s “Pins & Needles” we were utterly gobsmacked.What an incredibly classy track made of a groove sticky as hell. Detroit-ish without falling in the trap of being reverential, it’s in our opinion the sound of now. Paul takes us for a ride through the sharp side of house music. Albeit slow and sweaty, this track is nevertheless a fantastic club weapon. A massive kick, surrounded by subtle eerie samples and a well-chosen punchy melody, all of this give an unique groove to the cut.
On the flip, Leftroom maestros Matt Tolfrey and Marc Ashken’s take the original to a very different place thanks to dramatically tweaked voices and frantic percussions, managing to give even more intensity and crazyness to the track. These two very skilled producers show once their command of the complex science of advanced dance music. Approved and tested in Fabric’s Room One at 6am where it literally went down a storm. Definitely one for the Djs out there liking their minimal with a twist of lemon.
