Paul’s musical life started at a young age with classical training in Piano and Guitar with eclectic influences from Alice in Chains and Tool to LTJ Bukem and Underground Resistance. It was a St Patrick’s Day encounter with Dave Seaman and Col Hamilton that really put him onto Electronic Music.
He went on to co-found Collective-Music in the 2000’s which saw him work with everyone from Oscar Mulero and James Holden to Gabriel and Dresden playing at clubs like TRIPOD, the POD and Thompson’s Garage.
His early releases came out on Surge, Ascension, Dublin Xpress and Reticent. He says of the time “In hindsight my productions were awful, so I’m really grateful to those that gave me a chance, I’ve always loved the trade craft of it though, tweaking high hats and creating melodies has always been Therapy for me”.
On the back of this realisation Paul stopped releasing music and instead concentrated on honing his craft. Following this the scene took a nose dive and reset. Upon recovery though and with Maetrik becoming Maceo Plex, Mark Broom starting to release more music and the likes of DJ Rush, Adam Beyer, Reinier Zonneveld, Joyhauser, Mark Reeve , ANNA, Whebba and so many others bursting onto the scene there was plenty to draw inspiration from.
He’s back with his last three releases all charting in the Top 20 Beatport Techno Peak Time.
