LATEST PAPER TIGER LIVE RECORDING, 'Future Rhythms: Live 2009': CLICK TO DOWNLOAD! More full live sets and free tracks at origamisounds.com

.. .. ..


"...impossible to stand still to. A truly innovative act..." - Counterfeit Magazine
"Truly awesome!" - Mr Elephant
"...the unreserved success of the night, with their lyrical quips and infectious beats..." - Leeds Student
"Pure fire!" - Charlie Dark (Blacktronica/Attica Blues)

Paper Tiger began life many years ago as a bedroom experiment: produced future hip-hop, broken beat and dub incorporating live instruments and musicians. Since then the project has gone from strength to strength, gaining support from Radio 1 (Mary-Anne Hobbs), 1xtra, Charlie Dark and 6Music (Steve Lamacq), and forthcoming releases include tracks with Foreign Beggars (Dented), Juice Aleem (Big Dada), Sabira Jade (DJ Vadim, Aaron Jerome) and Dudley Perkins (Stones Throw).

Over the past 18 months, an 8-piece live band has been performing these productions and more to packed out audiences across Europe. The shows are a fully live, uninterrupted mix of downtempo hip-hop, broken beat, dubstep and more: no sequencers or backing tracks, just furious pushing of buttons and flailing of limbs. The band has shared stages and festival bills with the likes of Jaga Jazzist (Ninja Tune/Smalltown Supersound), The Bug and Warrior Queen (Ninja Tune/Hyperdub), Rustie (Warp), The Herbaliser (Ninja Tune), Mary-Anne Hobbs (Radio 1), Benji B (1xtra), Daedelus (Mush), Gaslamp Killer (Brainfeeder), Benga and more. They also do DJ sets with live musicians and vocalists.

new album out & currently touring Europe, North America, & Asia



"Phenomenal second full-length, Dirty Bomb, is a potent melange of breaks, hip-hop, jungle, dubstep, and political outrage." -The Boston Phoenix
"Music so thoroughly uprooted that its traditions exist only as pivot points; fragments of sounds we know mashed together so intuitively that we barely recognize them" -Pitchfork
"Tenez le vous pour dit, Dirty Bomb le second album de Filastine, est à manier avec précautions. Danger!" -Mondomix
"Filastine es el universo entero, suena crustie sólo lo justo, y la coherencia de su discurso es total. Si Dirty Bomb nace del nomadismo, es la mejor justificacion del hecho." -Go
