Title: Belief is the Enemy
Artist: Grievous Angel
Label: Elektrik Dragon Records
Catalogue: ELEKD-02
Barcode: 9771473968012
Format: 6-Panel Digipak
Release Date: June 2008
Grievous Angel is a dubstep and ragga techno group run by paul.meme. Grievous Angel delivers
soundsystem-ready dubstep bass pummeling that crosses over into a unique form of ragga techno, combining acidic power electronics with bashment beats. His tunes often feature infamous dancehall MC Rubi Dan, who is resident with London’s Heatwave soundsystem. Grievous Angel’s influences include Tackhead, Throbbing Gristle, Saxon Sound, King Jammy and El-B.
A first-wave garage fan who went all the way from jungle to dark 2step, paul.meme is well known for the iconic “Dubstep Sufferah” series of DJ mixes that have pushed the boundaries of the form and reunited dubstep with both MC-driven dancehall and grime. His early mp3 releases received glowing reviews in the Wire by dub expert Steve Barker, who also commissioned a reggae and breakcore mix from him for the legendary On The Wire radio show back in 2005.
“Belief is the Enemy” is the first official release for Paul. It is an exciting mix of dubstep, hyper-glitched textures and propulsive ragga techno presented over two CDs. One CD is a DJ mix with tons of bass weight and dub manipulation; the other CD is unmixed, a serious album with proper sequencing which is also an armory of dub weapons.

Just so you know, it got played on Radio One again last night. As promised, Mary Ann Hobbs played Culture Killer (for the 4th time) as the second track on the show.
ANd there’s a big interview with the artist in Blackdown’s Pitchfork column. The world’s greatest dubstep and grime writer has done him again J. Good piece too. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/node/137673
