Paul was first exposed to the dance scene at a very early age, listening to tape packs & compilations from the old hardcore raves and the early UK trance explosion. As his taste in music changed he felt that just listening to the music was not enough and so he bought his first set of decks around 5 years ago and has been championing the sounds of Trance, Hard Trance & Hard Techno ever since. He now draws influences from the likes of Arkus P, Carl Cox, Mark Eg, Scot project, Armin van Buuren, Mac Zimms, Signum, Eric Sneo, Kamui, Chris Liebing & Sander van doorn.

Paul has held three residencies @ Pulse (Glasgow), Exposure (Glasgow) and with New night Absolute (Edinburgh) where he runs the night with solid friends and djs alike, Gareth Binks, Shaun Hope & Callum M.
Ater coming to the conclusion that there was space for another trance/hard
dance night in Edinburgh, we find ourselves almost two years down the line
and widely regarded as one of the countries bigger trance and hard dance
nights!
At 24 years of age, Paul is pleased to have now played in Scotland’s
biggest venues, Arches, Room at the Top, Edinburgh Corn Exchange and the
Ice Factory.
Recent highlights have been playing to a packed out Room at the Top on New years Eve, playing Nuklear Puppy @ Ego in Edinburgh and some massive nights in Studio 24 with Absolute.
Paul has also recently begun to find his way around production, along with Jon the Baptist (Future sound corps, Sectioned, Uberdruck, High Fish). They form the production team Echoes. Just Recently their release Motionless and new production Open your eyes were dropped at the massive E-fect festival by Force 9 to thousands of Dutch clubbers. Motionless also received 7/8 in Januarys M8 Magazine and made the Top 20 Hard dance chart in Mixmag (Feb).
