Paul White is a mega talented producer coming out of South London and has recently released his sophomore record, Paul White & The Purple Brain and it. is. a. trip. The entire record is based around and inspired by the work of little-known Swedish psych-rock guru S.T. Mikael. Below is a bit from Paul White’s bandcamp page describing the record…

It’s recognisably hip hop (just check ‘Marshen Signals’) but it’s psychedelic, spontaneous and free in a way that seems far from most definitions of the genre today. A fascinating album from a fascinating producer.

I urge you to check Paul White’s or right now to buy this thing or at least check some more of the tunes.
