The third in the new series of live sessions filmed behind closed doors by Fact at 180 The Strand is a set of raw acid house and techno from Paranoid London, the hardwareheavy project of Quinn Whalley and Gerardo Delgado.

When Paranoid London first emerged in 2007, the music provided a gritty counterpoint to the European minimal sounds and disco edits that proliferated at the time, and the vinylonly releases gained us underground success at a time when the format was in decline.

In the 13 years since, the project has been host to a rotating cast of guest vocalists, including A Certain Ratio’s Simon Topping, Arthur Baker, Josh Caffe and the late trans activist and DJ, Bubbles Bubblesynski. On this performance we're joined by regular collaborator Mutado Pintado with visuals by Bob Jaroc.

Classic drum machines and synths, the Roland TR808, TR909 and SH101 lie at the heart of the setup, with acid lines provided by the Cyclone Analogic TT303 Bass Bot. Effects come from a host of cheap Korg Monotron Delay units, which slather vocals and synths in a grimy echo.
