His long-awaited album is now due for release... come and hear it live first!!!
Apologies to all of those who came down to see Deadline last time… unfortunately, his coach broke down (National Express, not tour bus, sadly), and so he was stuck on the motorway! We’ve asked him to arrive a day early for this one!

LUCID DUBPLATE SESSIONS ft.
PARIAH (GOOD LOOKING RECORDS), RAYZ & NEGATIVE
From the past to the present as Pariah and friends bring a DUB PLATE edition to Boiler room playing newly produced tracks. This is not to be missed!
Pariah were spawned from the dark years of the mid 90's. Having been listening to dance music from the late 80's, you know, summer of love and all that! …getting disillusioned with what they were hearing during the mid 90's, they decided to see if they could do any better themselves! The Pariah studio was set up in 1997, after much saving and hard work. They spent the next 12 months getting to know their equipment, enabling them to carve their own sound.
The next thing Pariah did was to expand further and start sending out their music. Their first break came when they won a demo competition in 'Muzik' magazine which led to them getting noticed. They were approached by several people which led to them getting the break they needed. Firstly and most importantly, Trixsta from the then very reputable imprint 'Urban Flavour', signed up two tracks called 'Reprogram' and 'Aqueous'. This being Pariah's first 12" release became an underground anthem being played all around the globe by people like Blame, Doc Scott, Dr S Gachet, DJ Lee and many more. Pariah have always held Trixsta in high esteem for giving them their first push into the drum n bass scene.
From here, Pariah went on to releasing many tracks on some of the scene's top labels. Their next release came courtesy of Terry Wilson’s 'Funk 21' label in conjunction with 'Partisan'. They had two tracks on the 'Funk 21 Album', they were also asked to do the mix cd as well! From there, Pariah went on to build a quality catalogue of releases. One relationship that the lads are most proud of is that of label boss and Dj, Blame. Pariah have had many tracks released on 720 degrees including three tracks on the mighty 'Two Revolutions' compilation album.
From there, they continued their journey through drum n bass land and found themselves working with the master himself, 'LTJ Bukem', which still continues today. Pariah were offered a major deal with 'Good Looking' but after much deliberation, decided to turn it down. The reason for this was that the boys thought that they could not justify the offer of such a deal due to the amount of work involved. The Pariah boys still all work full time which doesn’t really leave a lot of time for them to be Dj'ing all over the world and also working on their music at the same time!
They also wanted to be able explore different avenues within such a varied genre of music, luckily for them though, they are still producing music for 'Bukem' and his label and hope that it will continue, who knows, maybe they will sign one day if the offer is still there in the future! With many interesting and varied projects in the pipeline working with some of the scene's most reputable labels, Pariah's future looks bright! With them continuing to expand their studio set-up and DJing around the country, Pariah invite all of their followers along for a futuristic and soulful ride!
