Jai and A.K Paul’s Paul Institute drops two new tracks

Both Paul brothers are on production for ‘Shimmer’ and ‘Hypothalamus’

The Paul Institute – the label and creative platform founded by Jai and A.K Paul – has dropped two new singles.

Fabiana Palladino’s “Shimmer” and Ruthven’s “Hypothalamus” are now available to listen to on the Paul Institute site. “Shimmer”, written and self produced by Palladino, also features co-producing, guitar, and synth by Jai Paul. “Hypothalamus” is produced by Ruthven and features mixing skills and electric guitar by A.K.

This is the second double release from these Paul Institute artists, following 2017’s “Mystery” and “Evil”.

The mysterious Paul Institute was founded by the brothers in 2016 – they found a permanent home for their platform in a former BBC staff nightclub in west London last year. A.K Paul dropped his debut “Landcruisin’” in 2016, and has since produced with NAO, Jessie Ware, and Miguel. Jai Paul has remained relatively enigmatic since 2012 when his last official track was released, though demos did surface online temporarily before they were rapidly taken down in 2013. Hopefully these new moves for the Paul Institute signals more from the brothers. 

Listen to the tracks on the website here, and read our previous deep dive into how Jai Paul changed pop with just two songs and an earth-shattering debut.
