Paranoid London - Paranoid London

A small, UK-based DIY operation calling themselves Paranoid London emerged in 2007 with a single-sided 12″ and a clear, no-nonsense mission statement that left no questions as to what they were doing: ‘We Make Acid’. That single, credited to One Last Riot, was a rough, raw throwback to classic throbbing warehouse synthesis featuring Chicago house pioneer K Alexi Shelby on vocals, chanting the titular A-word over a track that seemed to nod to Alexi’s own 1989 classic ‘My Medusa’. This structural template – conjuring new acid tracks with vintage gear while respecting the roots of their creative heritage via collaborations with some of the forefathers of their sound – became a key component to the Paranoid London modus.
