Here’s a nice track I picked up in Toronto maybe 6 or 7 years ago, by Chris Paul. Paul is quite well known in the rave scene for his work in Isotonik, whose track “Different Strokes” is a huge anthem. He also was promoter of the absolutely massive Orange raves of the early 90’s. Music-wise he didn’t release all that many records early on, the only other hardcore\/jungle related thing excepting this and isotonik was a pretty dope single on Kikman which I have yet to grab (I probably should have waited to post this until I nabbed a copy, since only one is for sale right now on the ‘cogs.. uh oh…)<\/p>\n
This EP contains two remixes of the same track, a nice 93 style vocal hardcore\/jungle tune clearly for the dancefloor.. .nothing too experimental or heady going on here. “Music Is My Life” combines the classic “keep Em comin” C+C music factory acapella, as used by Omni Trio in “thru the vibe”, with breaks taken from Foul Play’s remix of Hyper-on Experience “Lords of the Null Lines”. Those breaks get chopped up a bit, and some nice melodic synths are added on top . Again, not a million crazy samples, and it makes sense that this is a tune made by a succesful DJ and promoter of massive parties since it’s basically frankensteining several absolutely essential elements together in a kind of early mashup way (think Carl Cox’s success n effect meets landlord “I like it” track). Really cool EP though! <\/p>\n
It appears that Chris Paul is still quite active in music to this day… he’s been involved in some big techno labels etc, not to mention being back making dnb for a while now.. Be sure to check his website at www.djchrispaul.com<\/a> for more information as well as links to his other sites, etc. <\/p>\n
