Last month I was chilling at the Rushhour shop and was advised to check out this Bullion remix. I got the vinyl out, put the headphones on my ears and was quite surprised to hear a broken Afrobeat remix when I expected some electronic ruffness. After some helpfull comments from you guys, I found out the proper name of the artist, Amadou & Mariam from Mali, and the title, “Ce N’est Pas Bon”. My bad, but as you know the Internet can contain faulty info from time to time. Our source was incorrect and luckily for me you guys set the record straight on this one. That’s what you get with whitelabels. Anyhow…be sure to pick up this incredible record at Rushhour!

After Bullion’s ‘Young Heartache’ EP ushered in the dreamy days of summer, the young producer returns with a mind-bending brace of wistful songs for winter: ‘Say Goodbye To What’ is hook-laden psychedelic funk, a pop song laced with intricacies and a beautifully skewed production approach. It may well be the strangest singalong track of the year. Flipside ‘Crazy Over You’ is a melancholic headnodder, drifting through the speakers with a lovelorn grace while pummelling you with the bottom end.
The life of the romantic is not always an easy one. You can listen to both tracks by visiting Bullion’s Bandcamp and you can also make a digital purchase while you’re at it. Big ups One Handed Music..

100k downloads. That’s the amount of times Pet Sounds in the Key of D was scooped. A Beach Boys project as Jay Dee would have seen in completed, crafted by the deft hands and mind of Bullion. That may have signaled what was to become his mete-ore-ric rise.
He added to his catalog in 2008 year with a highly anticipated and well received 12″ Get Familiar/Rude Effort, which is still available on iTunes. He’s now got the Young Heartache EP done. 92 BPM

Paul White is living up to all the hype! Another weighty 7″ dropping on the increasingly exciting One Handed Music label..
Hot on the heels of Bullion’s niche-anthem ‘Get Familiar’ comes the second solo transmission from another peculiarly talented London beat-smith, Paul White.
For You And For Me is an oddly intoxicating marching tune that shows that in hip hop in 2008, the most fun is to be had in the fringes. Paul’s passion for prog takes a decidedly exotic and somehow military turn and ends up with the kind of wide-eyed creation that his has peers in a froth.
We Want It All is pretty old-school in comparison: a rough drum break, filthy bass and all sorts of curious and wonderful voices add up to three of the best minutes sample-based music will have all year.
Along with a handful of fine remixes and his mesmerising beat-tapes, 2007’s debut single The Dragon Fly marked Paul out as a leading light of the increasingly captivating ‘beat scene’. Plaudits fell at his feet: Dazed & Confused enthused that he “embodies all that is good about a new generation of producers”; illustrious peers such as IG Culture, Danny Breaks and Ashley Beedle signalled their respect and key folk such as Benji B and Gilles Peterson launched him on the airwaves (the latter featuring him in his ‘Beat Generation’ special amongst the pick of the new breed).
A library producer by trade with BBC and Channel 4 credits to his name, Paul crafts his psychedelic gems in his South London rooftop studio, The Skylight, from whence the sounds of a beguiling and unique debut album are beginning to emerge… Get the “7 on Rushhour.
