ConneQtingTheDots Presents THE PARADIGM SHIFT Album Launch & Warm up Jam Session

Natural Element proudly presents the long-awaited album ‘The Paradigm Shift’ by one of
Amsterdam’s finest and most prolific producers, Kid Sublime. Following on from the 12” single
‘You Got Me Runnin’’ which dropped in the summer, this 8 track, double LP offering is a special
piece of work crafted during the pandemic years and Turbulence recording sessions with
maestros Beka Gochiashvili and Mishulino.

The album showcases the evolution of Kid Sublime’s sound and the influence of London’s
vibrant broken beat scene, having connected with some of the artists around the time of the
passing of the legendary Phil Asher. It touches on house, bruk and even techno, with his
signature soulful touch palpable across the whole record. Features include talented London
artist Oliver Night, Sydney based vocalist Natalie Slade and long time collaborator, flutist Han
Litz, amongst others.

‘The Paradigm Shift’ takes you on a deep sonic journey straight from the heart, celebrating love,
connection, spirituality and human evolution. There’s introspective moments with the jazzy
house drifter ‘The Awakening’ and the dubbed out bass and spoken word of ‘Kingz’, as well as
joyful moments such as the uplifting ‘Heaven’s Glory’ and the romantic ‘Stay Over’, which is
about as soulful as it gets. ‘Bring It Come’ brings some minimal bruk flavours reminiscent of
Bugz in the Attic and the title track takes things a bit darker with a roller that’s ready for the club.

Sitting somewhere between the living room and the dancefloor, this album is sure to enliven the
spirits of many a discerning listener and bring some much needed radiance and hope into
people’s lives.

The collaboration between Kid Sublime and Natural Element came about through the
relationship and intrinsic musical connection between Jacob and DJ/label head Leopold. Having
been a fan of Kid Sublime’s music for a few years, Leopold hosted him on his radio show during
a brief visit to London in 2019, and the two have stayed in touch ever since.

In the lead-up to the launch, ConneQtingTheDots brought together three talented selectors, Lenzz, Paul & Chris to kick off the day, setting the perfect vibe for the special occasion.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.

Yes, the Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events. Even if a festival event is sold out, you can still access the event with your ADE Pro Pass wristband. During ADE there are over 500 festival events and hundreds more cultural and conference events you can enter with the wristband. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for ADE Pro wristband holders. This means that, for some of the more crowded events, you have to arrive early to ensure attendance. Once capacity is reached, ADE Pro holders will be let into the event on a one in-one-out basis.
