Paolo Driver is an Italian Dj and producer amongst the most admired in the European musical dance scene.
Born and artistically bread with Djs such as Farfa, Miki and Roby J, in `94 he became part of the evolutionary wave of electronical music. His career as a Dj starts in various clubs in Liguria and Tuscany and progresses in France where he becomes acclaimed and recognized for his innovative and captivating sound, combined with the all engaging Italian energy. It`s here that Paolo meets Dj Sonic with whom he collaborates in `95 and `96 in his first productions with one of the first French labels for House Music, Omnisonus Paris, in a project named “Culture Progress”: a fusion of Djs with the same ideas and philosophy of sound.
At the same time, going against the commercial parameters of the time, (96-98) Paolo and Roby J, begin to experiment new sounds and rhythmic through Trip Hop in the underground clubs characteristics of the historic side of their home town Genoa. From here on it`s a succession of appearances in clubs and “after hours” in which, thanks to the influence of Trip Hop, they are recognized and distinguished by a public attracted by the refined sounds and the slow rhythms used to create a relaxed and laborious effect. The search for sounds has always been one of the fundamental characteristics that have accompanied Paolo`s artistic path, often based on the recovering of low-fi and base retro-ethnic sounds, often also with the aid of instruments.
It`s at this stage that Paolo begins to collaborate with musicians with whom he presents live performances such as “Forte Sperone” and other musical and cultural festivals of high artistic level.
In the new millennium Paolo commences working in a studio towards different projects such as: Exelentrite, Aye Onu, B.I.D, Driver and Bof, in collaboration with Presslab Records, Jam Block Records, Loud Beat, No Label and First Pop Records.
In 2002, Paolo`s matures as an artist and together with Alberto Bof, known pianist in the European jazz scene, they experiment new progressive house rhythms, Jazz funk sounds able to distinguish them in the music scene for its “Funky” electric and harmonic sounds. These sounds will be later successfully presented live in various gatherings (Goa Boa, Capodanno 2002 Genoa Location Cava dei Ghiffi, Utopia Genoa, Rock Clubs Paris, La Soleei Marseille, Pacha Montpellier).
In 2004, together with Francesco Di Fiore, Paolo forms the Dam Flower Production and at the same time he enjoys getting re-acquainted with the live Dj set putting forward his sounds and his rhythmic through the vibrations that accompany the dance floor. Paolo is loved by the public, who has followed him now for many years, because he is always able to convey unique emotions that stay.
In the new 2005 season he begins as a “resident” at the Nuhar Club, a unique club in Genoa with an innovative style, where Paolo is able to once again express his sound skills and make a difference, captivating the Genoese dance scene at international level, with great enthusiasm from the public.
In the Summer of 2006 he takes his success to Swing, a club located on a splendid cliff overlooking the sea, where together with the same Djs from Nuhar, Dj Mocce and Dj Dende, they host Electro Funk Fridays and Deep Electronic House Saturdays.
In October 2006 Paolo is involved in Subway Vibration, a European music festival and charity even for cancer research, to which other internationally acclaimed Djs take part, and is also attended by a vast number of members of the public. This initiative has been very important in Paolo`s music career because since its creation, he has always made sure to be involved in order to make the public, who attends to “alike” events, aware of certain issues.
At present Paolo is again a “resident” Dj at Nuhar Club whilst he continues working in his recording studio. Although currently perhaps experiencing a transition period in the music field, he is working on many new projects involving different musical genre in which he can express his evolved cultural and musical background.
