Paper Recordings reflects on its second coming with a superb double disc compilation of its hottest output to date with CD1 delivering its finest moments released since its return and CD2 showcasing totally unreleased material from its family of artists including Proviant Audio, Ralph Myerz, Sleazy McQueen, 2 Billion Beats and Flash Atkins.
After a break of around 5 years Paper Recordings came back into the public consciousness in 2009 with a couple of reissues from its back catalogue. One of those reissues featured Mudd's wonderful re-interpretation of Keyboy's 'Viva Blue'; a track that manages to fuse deep house & disco influences with a beautifully twisted Balearic air. Looking back on the labels output since then, those very same qualities seem to permeate each and every release. Seldom these days do record labels manage to move beyond transient trends to build a signature sound that's familiar yet remains challenging and surprising for the listener: 'Paper Cuts #1' perfectly captures that signature sound through the diverse yet cohesive sounds of its stellar artist line up.
As you go through this fantastically diverse collection, there's nothing formulaic to be found, yet each and every track shares an attitude, an approach to music making that links the artists through a shared musical genealogy. From the Scandinavian future funk of Proviant Audio to the delectable disco of Flash Atkins or the organic house sounds of Daco there is a rich depth to the recordings on offer here that is a testament both the quality of the producers involved and the musical nouse of Paper's label team. Alongside label favorites such as the aforementioned Proviant Audio, Flash Atkins & Daco are relative new additions to the family such as The Treatment and Sleazy McQueen, whilst on the remix front there are offering from the likes of Atjazz, Yam Who? and Brennan Green. As something of a bonus the album also delivers the previously unreleased 'Dicky Trisco Soft Piano re-Rub' of Sleazy McQueen's 'We Need to Reconnect', which as the title suggests, is a superb piano infused disco house workout that really hits the mark.
This special edition CD includes an exclusive web address printed on inside cover which gives access to a download area where each person will be able to claim unreleased music remixed by artists such as Jay Shepherd / Max Essa. Leftside Wobble has exclusively written the sleeve notes for this release.
