Undoubtably a collectors classic for years to come, Bullion and Paul White compliment each other's styles brilliantly on this very limited 7". Both sides have a lot going on - Bullion brings a tempo changing, mood changing beat with a hint of dubstep and a large dollop of 80s library. On the flip Paul White remixes obscure and underrated UK hip hop artist Tranquil with a densely visioned, fluttering and chunky hip hop swing. There's so much bang for your buck here that it takes 5 listens just to get an ear around everything that's going on - no bar is left untwisted, unlayered or sparse.. The logical continuation of what both were doing with the bitches remix (Bullion) and the first two Paul White 12"s. A work of beat-driven postmodernity.
Bullion - Get Familiar Jul 02, 2008
Debut release from the acton beatmaker. Incredible lush and warm sound with intricate, pounding drums. Fits into that whole "beat tape" movement (Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie et al) whilst retaining humour, originality and elegance - this is UK hip hop at it's most cutting edge. Have a look for Bullion's excellent "Songs In The Key Of Dee" beat tape from last year (it's a free download) and also his excellent mixtapes - the "Mixed Up In Love" mix being the most outstanding.

'Six sketches’ pits the wits of UK’s experimental hip-hop and beats producers - Danny Breaks, Mr Beatnick, Natural Self and Paul White - against Far Out’s finest purveyors of global breaks, beats and noise Democustico.

From the clinical expertise of beats merchant Danny Breaks to the drunk funk of Mr Beatnick to the grimey hip-hop experimentalism of Paul White and the laid back charm of Natural Self, this is an edgy urban excursion into the Brazilian remix and will appeal to fans of hip-hop, dub-step, deep-house and electronica.
