2008, Institubes
VINYL FORMAT. Para One is most known for a string of hard-hitting vinyl only tracks, but the Beat Down EP (2003) wasn't his first music venture. From an earlier digital hip hop/reggae era stem some vinyl, cassettes and CD releases on smaller labels such as Co2 Activity, Quality Streetz and N Records. Moving on to colder and more electronic pastures, while seeking to infuse his music with more emotion, he started working with Paris's crunkest rap crew: TTC, joining them on their 2 LP's Ceci n'est pas un disque and the hit Batards Sensibles (Big Dada). Para One is also one half of FuckALoop, Institubes' ceo Tacteel being the other half. The emphasis here is on live techno experimentation, with Drexciya looming large in the background. Most recently they remixed Ellen Allien's last single 'Down'. As a solo remixer Para himself remixed artists such as Agoria, Animal Machine, Krazy Baldhead, and just finished a remix for Daft Punk. This remix of 'The prime time of your life' will be featured on a limited edition remix album exclusively released in Japan right about now. The first 12", entitled Dudun Dun, first extract from the upcoming Epiphanie album, is already playlisted by 2 many DJ's, Tiga, Erol alkal, Feadz, Justice. Instinctive club banger.
