Grievous Angel is a dubstep and ragga techno group run by Paul.meme.
Grievous Angel delivers soundsystem-ready dubstep bass pummelling and a unique form of ragga techno combines acidic power electronics with ragga beats and dancehall MCing from infamous dance hall 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 paul.meme.
This is the first official release for Paul - a beautiful mix of dubstep, hyper-glitched textures, ragga tech tunes into 2 CDs.One mixed with tons of dub manipulations (CD2) and the other one presenting each track in its own integrity.
