Release
Notes Grievous Angel is a dubstep
and ragga techno group run by Paul.meme. Grievous Angel delivers soundsystem-ready
dubstep bass pummelling and a unique form of ragga techno combines acidic
power electronics with ragga beats and dancehall MCing from infamous
dance hall MC Rubi Dan, who is resident with London’s Heatwave
soundsystem. Grievous Angel’s influences include Tackhead, Throbbing
Gristle, Saxon Sound, King Jammy and El B.
A first-wave garage fan who went all the way from jungle to dark
2step, paul.meme is well known for the iconic “Dubstep Sufferah”
series of DJ mixes that have pushed the boundaries of the form and reunited
dubstep with both MC-driven dancehall and grime. His early mp3 releases
received glowing reviews in the Wire by dub expert Steve Barker, who
also commissioned a reggae and breakcore mix from paul.meme.
This is the first official release
for Paul - a beautiful mix of dubstep, hyper-glitched textures ,ragga
tech tunes into 2 CDs .One mixed with tons of dub manipulations (CD2)
and the other one presenting each track in its own integrity.
