Very few producers indeed have had such a remarkable last 18 months as Paleman, evolving as he has rapidly from a promising talent into one if the most devastating producers from these grey shores. His music is a refined blend of the classic and the current – simple and elegant, with the odd distinctive flourish. Echoes of the Hacienda and Paradise Garage drawn from a wide variety of sonic influences with the common thread of being percussion focussed; an obsession that is to be further manifested by his recent move to London to study jazz drumming. A fact that further alludes to a real, uncommon talent with potential for real musical longevity.
