At the start of the 2010s, the Londoner released two tracks that would change the sound of the next decade. Then he vanished. This weekend, he rewards faithful fans with his first ever show
this year after not appearing high enough on the lineup. It symbolises a career milestone that some artists spend their entire lives trying to reach. Which is why it’s unheard of for an artist such as Paul, who has never even played a live show, to achieve that status on his first go. Of course, it’s not unwarranted: Paul’s music remains totally singular and goodwill towards him is strong.
The same year, BTSTU was sampled by both Drake and Beyoncé, unheard-of cosigns for an artist who, at that point, nobody really knew anything about. He was 22 at the time, and he had only done one piece of press, ain which he described himself as “kind of a hippie”. He said he had made the demo for BTSTU in under an hour, and that despite the unearthly, futuristic textures of the track, he still mainly listened to classic artists like the Beatles, ELO and Queen.
