This, for me personally, is massive. I happen to be a huge Paleman fan, though I have not had the chance to see the man live.
However, this is all about to change as of October 16th, thanks to The Welly Club and Crystal Clear DJ Society.
A producer and DJ who is absolutely at the peak of his powers, Paleman’s style is as distinctive as they come.
A darkness often surrounds his productions, yet these deliver in both intensity and energy.
With ties to Loefah’s record label Swamp 81, his unmistakable sound fits this outfit perfectly; with his creative releases being adopted by many of the UK’s top DJ’s (not that Paleman isn’t right up there).
His release of “Furrball” with one of the all-time underground greats, Mr. Zed Bias was an absolute smash and is still one of my personal favourites.
Elsewhere, tracks such as “All Good”, “Hunt” and of course “Beezledub” continue to impress whenever and wherever they drop, making this young man one of Britain’s hottest products.
It remains pretty difficult to truly define the way in which Paleman’s music works – although I suppose it would fall into the electro/techno/dub categories, the productions feel strangely elusive in some way and always contain hidden surprises along the way.
Without overcomplicating things, Paleman’s driving beat is often accompanied by some brilliantly awkward subtleties, which truly set his tracks alight.
Needless to say, Crystal Clear have come up trumps here. Advanced tickets are £7 (which is unbelievably cheap) and £9 on the door – again a bargain.
