After a short break from releasing Paper Dragon are ready to take it back to the old school
with a collection of jungle and breaks inspired music.
During 2022 Ruth Royall stepped back from the collective to explode into the bass sphere.
This has made space for a new approach, new collaborators, and new music that will get those
woofers and tweeters of your 90’s Jamo speakers pumping.
Following on from the previously well-received EP’s ‘Birds of Paradise’ and ‘Circuits’, the
next collection of music due in 2023 ‘Amplified Nostalgia’ is darker and deeper. It is an immersive journey
pushed forward by raw breakbeats and shockingly powerful basslines.
The collective is made up of core member Bruce Turner, Kris Burton and
Jonathan Savage they maintain their high end production ethic and along with keys player Torsten
Jensen between them they have worked with the likes of U2, Kate Bush, Massive Attack, Rick
Rubin, Brian Eno, Underworld, KOAN Sound, TC, Distorted Minds, Mura Massa, NAO,
Mount Kimbie and Fred V & Grafix.
Paper Dragon have created a solid foundation in the dance music scene and are ready to
move into this new phase. Their tracks have been regulars on Spotify editorial playlists they
have has spanned the temperatures on BBC Radio 1, with their single ‘Reach’ going from
‘The Coldest Record’ on the Sound System with Jeremiah Asiamah to one of the ‘Hottest
Records of the Week’ with Clara Amfo.
