Sophia from Surrender by Paradise Circus

Paradise Circus
Surrender
(SPZL10)

Slamming onto your summer spectrum clad in the rarest synthesized silks and ready to get down low, Paradise Circus present three heaters and two panel beaters transmitting from somewhere way out on the horizon.

‘Sophia’ is the grungiest gear the Speziales have cooked up to date, laden with crushing layers of Buchla-generated waveforms contorting before your ears, stepping to you hard on the 100 BPM tip and beefed up in the low end for a frankly devastating end result.

By comparison ‘Nahid’ reaches skyward in a euphoric suite of arps moving in intricate formations and cracking round the edges. Not so much a case of hands in the air but more head in the clouds, with a dramatic narrative which builds into a knee-buckling drop to make the masses hit the deck with the sheer joy of it all.

Giving you the synth-noir soundtrack fantasy 80s Zimmer could have only dreamt of, ‘Shayar’ hits hard from the outset with a set piece geared towards high tension and hard-bitten protagonists doing dreadful things, but feeling guilty about it deep down inside.


This is Paradise Circus, what else did you expect?

Das Spezial is a bold collective of artists crafting genre-defying music that challenges norms and reshapes the UK independent music scene.
