At the same time Paul started to run his own pirate radio station called Touchdown FM and had already managed to blag a spot on the capital's legendary pirate Sunrise FM. Paul also used his persuasive powers to get a one hour slot at Turnmills' Saturday all-nighter Trade and in 1990 his obvious talent gained him his first residency, and as gay clubs have always been at the forefront of innovation in dance music, Paul quickly became recognised for playing what one might alternatively call hard-edged-house anthems. Not long after his residency at Trade, Paul was offered a residency at the Zap Club in Brighton and there met up with Shelley Boswell which lead to regular slots at the Gardening Clubs' "Club For Life". Paul has since gone on to DJ all over the UK, currently holding a residency at Turnmills' Friday nighter The Gallery and plays regularly for Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Sundissential, Cream and Golden to name but a few. His popularity has seen him DJ worldwide travelling to America, Canada, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Hong Kong, South Africa and all over Europe. Paul was voted "Best Overall DJ" in the 7 Magazine "Ibiza '99 Awards" for his residency at Godskitchen and is consistently featured in the top 20 of the DJ Magazine "Top 100 DJ Poll" each year. In 1992 Paul put out his first vinyl offering - the white label 'Love Rush', a Trade anthem. He then hooked up with Hooj Choons' Red Jerry who with reference to his 6'6" frame christened him with the title "Tall Paul" and came up with the dance classic "Rock Da House," (later to be re-released in 1997 on VC Recordings, reaching No. 11 in the national charts.) Paul then went on to produce numerous top 40 hits including the club anthems Escrima "Deeper" and "Train of Thought", and his highest entry to date, Camisra "Let Me Show You", entered new at No. 5. All this has lead to a series of remixing jobs for such acclaimed artists as New Order, Stone Roses, Erasure, Human League, Marc Almond, Wild Child, Hyperlogic, Cappella, Duran Duran, Nalin & Kane, Blondie, Bizarre Inc, Dina Carroll... the list goes on. Paul's production talents are recognised in the "DJ Magazine Top Producers Poll," where Paul features year after year, and last year entering at no. 12. Camisra's success has taken Paul's career even further... Paul now runs his own record label, Duty Free Recordings which also incorporates an in-house Studio, all based at Turnmills. The label has released tracks by JS16, Robbie Rivera, Radical Playaz, DJ Lottie, Durango-95, Dave Aude, Pauls debut for the label "Be There" and latest production "Freebase". Paul has also featured on various compilations including Virgin's "The Gallery Modern Masters Vol#1" , "Club Nation 1998" , "Cream Anthems" and Fantazia's famous "House Collection". In 1999 Paul signed an album deal with the Ministry of Sound, so far Paul has complied and mixed "Dance Nation 6", "The Ibiza Annual 2" and more recently the "Millennium Annual". Not content with raising the roofs of clubland, running his own label, producing club hits and mix albums, Paul also presents his very own Saturday night radio show "The Mix Down Session" (7-9pm) on London's premiere dance station Kiss 100 FM. Paul has also featured in the mix on various shows including Radio 1's Danny Ramplings' "Love Groove Dance Party" and the Essential Mix . Show less
