Dev Pandya - Genius. If my channel is all about sounds that define me in totality as well as at stages of my life, this twisted masterpiece is well worthy of it's place. Cut in 2004.
What I really like about this, is that there's clearly a lot of time and thought put into this. It's not one chart that keeps repeating. Every single chart is different, a lot of thought into every beat, all to create this one wicked, off the hooks mad, tune.
Paradox is sick on every level. My friend booked him in San Francisco and his set was soooo good. Love love love love him - one of the best in the biz and a true musician.
Wow, the drum work on this tune is next level. Honestly, I never heard anything like it, maybe some Breakage tunes come close, but this is absolute madness.
Jeez, let me catch my breath a minute! I swear I heard this in about '96 at Tribal Gathering in the UK. I've been trying to find a tune/style for about 20 years that I heard there - Grooverider and Fabio were playing at 6:00am and I can remember hearing these tunes - and one - the snare, for some reason, sounds like a flute to me, that weird top end shriek to each snare hit, rolling and rolling and bouncing and rollin an rolling and rolling rolling. And I swear this is the tune I've been trying to find all these years. Maybe it's just the style - but, for me, this is it, this is it. How can music like this hit so hard on so many levels? - the body, the mind, the emotions. It certainly sets off my synesthesia too - however it's spelt. In fact, it is perfect synesthesia music. The repetition and ambience is the background painting and the endless dynamic variations and breakbeat splicing brings the painting to life with movement. So, when I hear this, I have to close my eyes, so I can watch what's going on. Someone very clever once said to me that "music is subconscious thought". I think he was right.
fuck i smoked too much and got paralyzed for like 20 mins while having some alaska track playing in headphones and this thing got autoplayed next... i'm traumatised af
@@benhall2235 hmmm .. theres loads of paradox tunes with singing! fucking wicked tunes too , some of my fave ever ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TW_u-7PHOTg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fMP59Q05HPU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OGS0x36lHrk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oUccAcydh0E.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8LtjZk64Wfs.html
I juat discovered this. I can't imagine what I was doing in 04 that caused me to miss this, but better late than never. Bought a copy too. Worth every penny!
thanks for this haven't really been able to buy vinyl since ~2000, so nice to catch up on some dev rekkids in some way, even if I can no longer get the wax.
James Curry not resampling, IIRC he programs all his breaks in midi on octomed on an amiga, controlling an akai for the samples through a hardware desk. Probably has a SCSI drive & wall of disks by now of different breaks. pop one in, then goes mad programming.

Still makin' basically drum'n bass. Since 1995, I've been makin all sorts of shit. I can tell you there is more than a million ways to mix and do, and finish your final tracks. But, hey you're right. I've also been mixin myself when there's so much material, that you can have fun just mixing.
Gonna use this in my D&D campaign, this seems perfect for the boss that's essentially a collection of giant icy crystals that can shift into several forms such as a humanoid one, a cannon one, and a giant sword, during all of which it can blast huge beams of either icy or thunderous energy
@@Zog26 Thanks! I stumbled upon this song when I was trying to find more breakcore music, and it seems very fitting. The "main" boss theme I'm using for that encounter is Antarctic Reinforcement by DM Dokuro, and that's also somewhat breakcoreish so this fits right in with it!
@@acidhydra101 I get where you feel the ice crystal vibe from in this track. If you want more stuff from the same producer that might not be Boss Music but would suit Arctic endeavours for your needs, check out "The Mesozoic Era" album (under his Alaska alias). Patadox's latest release "Soviet" is also worth checking out for more dark hardness.
looking back at this comment is funny now that I run stuff with other systems, but also (months ago) made my own original song for that mentioned boss, which also samples THIS song
some other paradox tracks really rip, listen to A Certain Sound, New Statement / Nostalgia. There were some great Arcon 2 / Leon Mar on Reinforced, and a good bit of early Source Direct before the album was solid. Bizzy B and Remarc tore up some amen like no one else.
Good point Johnny!...but what about old Dillinja...? This lot should keep you going m0refaya :) Paradox: 'Uncertain Journey', Hologram, Love Her, Perhaps the Future, Time Starts Now and Rocksteady. Dillinja: Acid Track, Armoured D. Dom & Roland: Deckers Theme and Thunder. Other than that various tracks from artists like Photek, Source Direct, Seba.
@funkychinamanable Yes mate, I love Dev's alter-ego Alaska too. I should up some goodness of his - I think Aries Maze is elsewhere on youtube. If you haven't got it already, go buy "The Mesozoic Era" CD / Album which is the latest Alaska offering.
Radian Sinus Melted my Ortofons i know that. Put my Shure M44-G's on, those snapped in 5 pieces. Tune is so massive it straightened the tonearms on my Technics 1210's.
