PARADOX LAUNCH NIGHT
The Big Top, Cardiff
Sat 9 Feb
Paradox will be the newest tech brand born out of Cardiff come the start of February. Pitching a residency at The Big Top (upstairs of 10 Feet Tall), the Paradox gang appearing at launch are all familiar faces from around the south Wales scene. Scottish-born manager and DJ Ryan Ross [pictured above] has hosted The Techno Takeover on identifyradio.com for the past two years after his talents had him drafted in to play local events; acid-tinged “90’s kid” DJ Matthew Hart, of the Detached and Rebirth brands, hails from Maesteg, and dark underground b2b duo State of Minds from Swansea are all present to set the Paradox machine in motion for the first time.
Headlining the launch is special guest DJ So Sash, another name familiar with anyone who’s bopped around at a Cellar Door event anytime lately, as well as being a frequenter of The Vaults and Undertone.
At least four other Paradox events are confirmed for 2019 in or around the greater 10 Feet Tall area, featuring a plethora of other DJs and potential special guests as the brand runs alongside a monthly FNOOB radio residency set to begin later this year. Working with local artists and promoters, Paradox are aiming to both make their mark in local techno and grow together with the ever-changing Cardiff nightlife.
