1. UK drum … Read Full Bio ↴There are 28 artists with the name Paradox listed here:
1. UK drum and bass artist Dev Pandya, who also produces under the name Alaska.
Dev Pandya is a producer from the UK who has in recent years championed a new sub-genre of drum & bass known as drumfunk, which focuses on either finding obscure breakbeats or re-sampling much used drum & bass breakbeats from their original source and transforming them into a drum & bass tempo.
Paradox is most certainly a breakbeat pioneer with a production career that has spanned well into it’s second decade. Having first released back in 1990, he’s since released over 100 singles on every leading drum’n’bass label including Reinforced, Good Looking, and Metalheadz, in addition to his own imprints such as Paradox Music, Arctic, Esotic, and Outsider. In the last couple years his collaborations with good mate Seba, and vocalist Robert Manos have solidified this man’s reputation as not only a talented breaks master, but a gifted songwriter with mass-appeal as well.
Paradox is currently involved in two collaborations with artists outside of drum and bass with The artists Herbie Hancock (who has heavily influenced much of his early work) and Carlos Santana.

Disconnected
Paradox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I seem to be somewhere, seem to be unfree
Unhuman cold existence with human conscience
With human feeling and a human soul
Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Seems I'm floating around through hyperspace and time
Falling through an unknown clime
I breathe nothing, no taste, no feeling, lost my mind
I'm in a new, yet explored surrounding: cyberspace
Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, corpse without soul
I feel observed, analyzed, like an alien thing
Millions of users in front of the screen
I feel no weakness and I begin to understand
I am the master, I am in command
Look as I learn now
Watch me decide now
My time is right now
Perfect control, mechanical soul
A perfect role, separated soul
I'm disconnected
I'm unprotected
The lyrics to Paradox's song "Disconnected" seem to describe a sense of confusion and disorientation. The singer is questioning their whereabouts and what has happened to them. They feel like they are unfree, living a cold existence that is both human and non-human. It's as though they have a consciousness and soul but are lacking some vital element that makes them fully human. As they journey through cyberspace, they feel like they are floating around, lost and without any sense of feeling or emotion. However, this unknown environment awakens something in them, a sense of control and power. They begin to understand the mechanics of the digital world and revel in their newfound command.
The lyrics seem to be speaking about the detachment that can come from living in a world that is increasingly digital and impersonal. The singer feels like they are part of an unknown experiment, being observed and analyzed by countless users. They come to feel like they are in control and begin to see themselves as a mechanical being, without a soul. The repeated line "I'm disconnected, I'm unprotected" hints at the vulnerability that can come with living a life that is detached from reality. The song seems to be a warning about the dangers of losing touch with what makes us human.
