It was 2011 when the truly enigmatic Jai Paul arrived with the track ‘BTSTU’ and a lot has happened and not happened since.
While we aren’t expecting anything major from Jai Paul in the near future (the last tracks were in 2019), the Paul Institute artist is marking ten years since his debut with a special website – BTSTU.com – which apes the look of his original Myspace page and has tracks in the player including previously unheard ‘Super Salamander’ on it, along with different versions of his 2013 leaked album tracks.
