The music of Paramedic  is a hybrid of classic hip hop, soul, jazz and funk with lyricism firmly rooted in social activism and positive vibes. It looks to the future while being firmly grounded in the past. The vintage vibe is achieved through the use of classic keyboards such as the Fender Rhodes, Hohner Clavinet, the Wurlitzer and, of course, the Hammond B3 Organ. 

The disco and dance sensibilities injected into the mix caused Paramedic to be compared to artists such as St. Germain and Jamiroquai. The music is also punctuated by slap bass rhythms and thick synth basses familiar to any fan of great funk music. 

Tracks such as "Ol Skoolin" and "Just Keep Goin" exemplify this dedication to the great funk sound.  Paramedic is also a study in eclecticism. Listen carefully and you'll also find elements of drum and bass, dub, and the warped sounds of futuristic synths mixed together with the heavy attack of Rage Against the Machine style guitar and bass riffs on tracks such as "Return of the Mic Martyr" and "Church Inc."
