Endlessly inventive and almost impossible to pin down, Paul White is a singular British talent. Having made his name in 2008 with the oddball cult classic The Strange Dreams of Paul White, he quickly established a reputation as a beat-maker operating on the bolder margins of hip-hop – most notably via his stellar contributions to Danny Brown’s XXX and Old LPs. Yet White’s broad fanbase, from kindred spirit Madlib to the likes of Diplo and James Holden, testifies to his versatility and imagination, as he has persisted in defying classification. Shaker Notes, his 2014 solo album for legendary Belgian label R&S, saw him play drums, bass, guitar, a multitude of synths and much more throughout, as well as singing on many songs, and last year's Golden Rules project with MC/singer Eric Biddines was perhaps his best work yet, attracting yasiin bey (aka Mos Def) as a collaborator and winning widespread plaudits. In between he has produced for Jamie Woon, Charli XCX, Homeboy Sandman and many more. On March 25 he will release Hella Personal Film Festival, a full-length collaboration with US MC Open Mike Eagle, on Mello Music Group.
