Paper Dragon & Chez Return With ‘Winds Of Change’ On Our Space
Share
Pulsating basslines and uplifting vocals—Paper Dragon and Chez are back with ‘Winds Of Change’, another top-tier track that hits the mark. After smashing it with ‘The Temple’, the duo are stepping things up with this fresh release. With more studio sessions in the pipeline and a live show on the horizon, 2025 is already looking like a big year for both acts.
Paper Dragon has officially brought Chez, a rising DJ and songwriter from Gloucester, into the fold. Chez has been making waves in the scene, teaming up with Dazee, Euphonique, and the Ruffneck Ting Crew, with releases on Gorilla Warfare (with Kravitz) and DeVice (with Virtue). She’s graced festivals like Nozstock, Volksfest, Lakefest, The Bog 360 XL, and Run All Day, and she’s been heard on SWU and Kool FM. Now fronting Paper Dragon, Chez is adding her spark to their new live show, which showcases the collective’s genre-blurring back catalogue. They’ve been fine-tuning it at the Paper Dragon Presents nights in Bristol, where live electronic music takes centre stage.
Paper Dragon is making a name for themselves by delivering bold, forward-thinking dance music. The Bristol-based crew blends old-school jungle vibes with cutting-edge breaks, bringing something fresh to the Drum & Bass scene.
With Bruce Turner, Kris Burton, and Jonathan Savage at its core, the group has an impressive production pedigree, working with icons like U2, Kate Bush, Massive Attack, Rick Rubin, Brian Eno, Underworld, KOAN Sound, TC, Distorted Minds, Mura Masa, NAO, Mount Kimbie, and Fred V & Grafix.
Their track record speaks for itself—’Reach’ was named BBC Radio 1’s Coldest Record by Jeremiah Asiamah and Hottest Record by Clara Amfo, while ‘Holding On’ got a major shoutout from My Nu Leng at Love Saves the Day. Their collab with Grafix, ‘Forget the Rain’, has racked up over 1.7 million Spotify streams, and ‘Be Free’ is sitting at nearly 2.1 million streams.
With their distinctive blend of jungle, breaks, and heartfelt melodies, Paper Dragon is shaking up the bass music world in the best way possible.
