ConneQtingTheDots Presents THE PARADIGM SHIFT Album Launch & Warm up Jam Session

Natural Element proudly presents the long-awaited album ‘The Paradigm Shift’ by one of Amsterdam’s finest and most prolific producers, Kid Sublime. Following on from the 12” single ‘You Got Me Runnin’’ which dropped in the summer, this 8 track, double LP offering is a special piece of work crafted during the pandemic years and Turbulence recording sessions with maestros Beka Gochiashvili and Mishulino. The album showcases the evolution of Kid Sublime’s sound and the influence of London’s vibrant broken beat scene, having connected with some of the artists around the time of the passing of the legendary Phil Asher. It touches on house, bruk and even techno, with his signature soulful touch palpable across the whole record. Features include talented London artist Oliver Night, Sydney based vocalist Natalie Slade and long time collaborator, flutist Han Litz, amongst others. ‘The Paradigm Shift’ takes you on a deep sonic journey straight from the heart, celebrating love, connection, spirituality and human evolution. There’s introspective moments with the jazzy house drifter ‘The Awakening’ and the dubbed out bass and spoken word of ‘Kingz’, as well as joyful moments such as the uplifting ‘Heaven’s Glory’ and the romantic ‘Stay Over’, which is about as soulful as it gets. ‘Bring It Come’ brings some minimal bruk flavours reminiscent of Bugz in the Attic and the title track takes things a bit darker with a roller that’s ready for the club. Sitting somewhere between the living room and the dancefloor, this album is sure to enliven the spirits of many a discerning listener and bring some much needed radiance and hope into people’s lives. The collaboration between Kid Sublime and Natural Element came about through the relationship and intrinsic musical connection between Jacob and DJ/label head Leopold. Having been a fan of Kid Sublime’s music for a few years, Leopold hosted him on his radio show during a brief visit to London in 2019, and the two have stayed in touch ever since. In the lead-up to the launch, ConneQtingTheDots brought together three talented selectors, Lenzz, Paul & Chris to kick off the day, setting the perfect vibe for the special occasion.
