" 'Paradise' is Buttress O'Kneel's reworking of 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio, stretched using 'Paul's Extreme Stretch' sound tool. Although released 7th in the series, 'Paradise' was actually the first piece that BOK ever stretched using this tool. So too, it was this piece that determined that the 'stretched' series has its connection to supernatural/spiritual themes.
โWords like "mashup" and "remix" don't really do justice to Buttress O'Kneel's method - Top 40 pop crap gets sliced, diced, and tossed into a dizzying, exciting hardcore electro stew. Compared to other djs who timidly drop a Vanilla Ice acapella over a Chemical Bros intro just to move a dance floor, O'Kneel shreds copyrights with a blood-curdling vehemence. Smash the state!โ
