DELTA HEAVY / PARADISE LOST - OUT NOW !!!!

  

Five years after bursting onto the scene, Delta Heavy unveil their eagerly 

awaited debut album, ‘Paradise Lost’, due for release on March 18th 2016 on 

Ram Records.  One of the few acts whose sound effortlessly straddles the 

Atlantic, the duo’s multi-dimensional versatility is evident throughout their 

inaugural LP.


2015 saw the release of singles ‘Ghost’ and ‘Punish My Love’, accompanied 

by their notoriously idiosyncratic animated music videos, the former of which 

was nominated for three awards including ‘One Of a Kind’ in Vevo’s Year In 

Music.  This year sees an extensive world tour, and this 14 track opus is the 

perfect lead up, tying in all aspects of drum and bass, cinematic soundscapes 

and space-age house.




The album opens with the dystopian title track, an orchestral flurry of strings 

that dissolve into a grinding, half time war much that resembles Gesaffelstein 

on acid. “Event Horizon’, ‘Pathways’ and upcoming club single ‘Oscillator’ see 

the duo in more familiar territory, complex and thundering sci-fi dancefloor 

drum and bass; whilst ‘City of Dreams’ and ‘Cut Me’ demonstrate a lighter, 

more melodic touch. Soaring top lines link the epic singles ‘Ghost’, ‘White 

Flag’ and ‘Reborn’ whilst ‘Conquer The Galaxy’ takes future house into the 

cosmos.


Underpinned by meticulous production and presented as a seamless 

composition, ‘Paradise Lost’ represents a benchmark in the Delta Heavy 

journey.
