Paranoid London – PL

Did we reach a point where we expect artists to do more than make people dance and have a good time? Gerardo Delgado and Quinn Whalley appear to think so. Their Paranoid London project seems designed to push aside anything superfluous. "This is the real deal: dirty, repetitive music for DJs & dancers," read the self-penned press release from their first album. Their style of punk posturing can sometimes be a little corny, but it's obvious they feel the need to kick against an established order. In the wider world of dance music, their spiky attitude and avoidance of interviews stands out.
