As always, a massive thanks to everyone that made it down to party with us on Saturday 5 February.
Possibly one of our buiest nights to date.
Thanks to Paul White for a killer beats set.
A couple of shots form the night are below, and you can check the whole set on Facebook here.
The next Droppin’ Science party is on February 5 at the Vibe Bar with yet another big night in store.
Last month resident DJs Matman, Nickname and Daredevil ripped the place apart, blazing through fast-paced sets of hip hop & it’s related genres. In February you can expect all this and more as we will be joined by our very special guest, Paul White (One-Handed Music / Now-Again).
Paul White’s production has been generating a lot of noise in recent years, & won himself a lot of high-ranking fans, gaining airplay & support from the likes of Diplo, Mary Anne Hobbs, Benji B and Gilles Peterson. After releasing the acclaimed LPs ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’ & ‘Sounds From The Skylight beat tape’ in 2009, 2010′s ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’ was co-released by both One-Handed and Los Angeles-based Now Again, sister label of the mighty Stones Throw Records.
Check out Paul White’s podcast he produced for Stones Throw records last October.

Sorry, these aren’t up for download yet, but here’s the first single, ‘My Guitar Whales’ taken from Paul White’s forthcoming album ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’. A psychedelic stripped-down banger, it mixes an Eastern-influenced organ hook, rock hard drums, fuzzy synth bass and delirious chanting to mesmerising effect.
On the flip, The Bright Future twins a naggingly catchy piano refrain with tumbling drums and the quirky touches that give White’s music so much character.
Don’t forget to download the first official giveaway ‘Ancient Treasure’ from the album in my previous post here.
A collaboration of sorts, Paul White & The Purple Brain is based around and inspired by the work of little-known Swedish psych-rock guru S.T. Mikael. Having been granted access to Mikael’s back catalogue, Paul White found a unique source of inspiration and challenged himself to create an album using the Swedish multi-instrumentalist’s work as the sole basis for his output. The result is an endlessly inventive showcase of what’s possible when armed with just a sampler, a few studio toys and a fertile imagination and marks a significant step forward from 2009’s cult hit ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’.
Released by: One-Handed Music
Release/catalogue number: HAND7007

UK emcee Tranqill’s new EP was 2 Years in the making but is finally here courtesy of One-Handed Music. Whilst it doesn’t officially drop until March 15th, you can download it now from his Bandcamp page. The EP is only 4 tracks (including a Paul White remix) & their instrumentals, but it’s quality music & for just £2, it’s a serious bargain.
He’s offering ‘Deadly Wintaz’ for free download too. A seriously good track produced by Dj IQ (former Droppin’ Science guest & extended family).
