Pauliq is an emerging, London-based musician, producer and DJ, who set up a studio in a rented Shoreditch apartment to create introspective, moody and groovy electro pop that sonically draws from hip-hop and trip-hop, and thematically touches upon universal feelings and experiences — like love and relationship issues, relocation, competition, new possibilities, better choices and more.
Rowan, the emerging London-based musician, producer and DJ’s latest EP was released earlier this year. The six-song EP is centered around the idea that “everyone can be a conductor of wonderful creativity and creation, which descends on us from above.” He goes on to say that he collaborated with six musicians from different corners of the globe to write songs that “tell about the strength and love that is given to each of us in order to create something beautiful. We were all inspired by this idea and tried to convey this idea through our tracks, sometimes without even realizing it all, but rather just feeling.”
The EP’s latest single is the Portishead and –Massive Attack-like EP title track “Rowan.” Centered around twinkling Rhodes and relentless, rapid-fire breakbeats serving as a lush and eerie bed for Victoria Bigelow‘s sultry, yearning delivery. Cowritten by the London-based artist and Bigelow, “Rowan” was influenced by the deep feelings Pauliq had for his partner, and as he explains, the song is “about the purity of bright deeds and what a deep, beautiful and rich world they generate in you.”
