Having taken his time to emerge from the shadows, Paleman has constructed a musical voice for himself which turns this conundrum on its head by reimagining the skeletal drums and gutteral growls of early dubstep and speed garage as a style of UK techno all of his own. For this youngster, Berlin is more of a startpoint than a destination. At only 19, he joins the ever growing base of Manchester-based techno producers as the first signing to Fulcrum Records, a new label started in South Manchester by friends Sam Schorb (aka Damu) and Adam Rogerson.
This three track statement of intent marks the first chapter for both this young producer and the fledgling imprint, each with eyes focussed squarely on the dancefloor. The A-side features ‘All Good’ and ‘Hunt’, two galloping tribal fist pumpers, which leave the razor-sharp vocal hooks echoing on the lips of the dancers long after the aching feet have subsided. On the flip ‘Slither’ presents an even tighter adaptation of this formula, aimed at the big rooms, with warehouse-deep kicks and minimal, but inimitably organic percussion.
Already garnering praise from all corners of the muscial stratosphere, Paleman's tracks have worked their way into the sets of Loefah, Mosca and Ben UFO as well as receiving regular play on XFM by Mary-Anne Hobbs. Featuring sleeve art designed by Schorb and Rogerson, this EP quickly establishes the young Mancunian as a force to be reckoned with.
