Bio
I am no longer using my Myspace profile as I have too many web-based portals to update. Please visit me on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=102202566483461&ref=ts) or my Website. (www.paulgoodyear.com) .. Paul's fabulous story begins when a twelve year old Paul Goodyear buys his first disco record, “You make me feel (Mighty Real)” by the late disco sensation Sylvester. He had found the “love” in his life…..It was music. .. No one trick pony, it would seem ridiculous to put Paul Goodyear into a box. Hearing him while on the dance floor you will hear a mix of hypnotic tribal, dynamic disco, electro with a funky vibe and loads of top-notch house. He credits his lasting success as a DJ producer and remixer to his ability to constantly evolve and move with the times. .. In 1991 before the advent of digital music software he was asked to do a re-edit of an obscure Pet Shop Boys track “Miserabilism” for Hot Tracks, a DJ service label based in San Francisco. The label was part owned and produced by renowned remixer Chris Cox. That was the beginning of a list of over 250 remixes and re-edits Paul created for DJ service labels such as Rhythm Stick, Discotech, EuroTracks, OzzMix, Direct Hit and his own successful ACE DJ remix service. Paul truly believes in the power of the dance remix and the accessibility this gives to the wider market. To this end he has been on the remixing team for DMC records, one of the last standing DJ remix labels since 2007 with regular releases. Look out for a remix of Loleatta Holloway's "Love sensation" that has just been released. .. Paul is also a chart-topping Remixer. 2008 was the year he was first involved with a US Billboard dance Chart 1 with his remix of Kristine W’s “The Boss”. This was a place he had been aiming for since he first got a taste of this chart in 2002 when Lifestylus remixed Taylor Dayne’s “How Many” which reached no. 8 and again in 2003 when Deborah Cooper’s “Real Love” hit number 7. More recently, in 2009, his remix of Karen Young's "Rendezvous" also scored high on the charts .. If you see a pattern – you’re right! Paul loves a Diva vocal and has remixed Whitney Houston and Toni Braxton for BMG records Australia, along with Tina Cousins, Lonnie Gordon and Mary Kiani. ..This year has been great for Paul when it comes to releases. Linda Clifford's "How Long" was released to excellent reviews as was the Paul Parker LP "Right on Target" (featuring new productions and remixes done by Paul Goodyear). Out now is the very hot K. Rasta Presents: Yung Ripp - "Dirty Dance" and the soon to be released is “I Finally Found Love” by House Diva Angie Brown. Also due for release are remixes for the Boogie Pimps (“Without You”) and “You’re the Best Thing” sung by the male with a Diva voice Peyton. .. Dance music is for sharing and collaboration in the studio is a must in Paul’s book. One of Paul’s closest friends, Stephen Allkins helped foster this love of collaboration when the two worked together on the first “Love Tattoo” release “History of Disco”. This track was picked up by Pete Tong for his then, brand new “Essential Recordings” label in 1999 and championed by the likes of Danny Tenaglia and Boy George. Paul co-wrote and produced 5 of the tracks on the second Love Tattoo album “Bodywork” and the partnership continues with a track already written for the third Love Tattoo album and more slated for the fourth offering. Paul and Australian House DJ Nathan G together were “Lifestylus”. They received huge props from John Digweed in 2001 for their track “Spinnin” when he named it the best Australian dance track of that year and by Phil K who selected it for release on his Balance 004 Comp. .. A cover version of Sylvester’s “Take me to Heaven” produced by Paul with vocalist Shauna Jensen was picked up by TV program “Queer as Folk”. More recently, in 2007, Paul’s track “Disco!” was picked up by NYC house label Nervous records. .. First and foremost a working DJ Paul has spun all over the globe: From the forecourt of Sydney’s Opera House, and Australia wide to London, Amsterdam, Rio, New York, San Francisco, Barcelona, Singapore, Bali, Mexico, Miami, Auckland, Fire Island, Los Angeles, Madrid....and that’s just recently. All this international work means Paul brings a diverse flavor to his rhythms and he revels in all aspects of his job. It doesn’t matter if the audience are gay, straight, mixed; peaktime or after hours; as he gives from the soul for every set he plays. .. Paul Goodyear is The DJ that is comfortable playing in an intimate local bar, supporting Linda Clifford or Pamala Stanley with a classics disco set, chatting and playing on dance music radio; working the clubbers into a frenzy at club nights all over the world; playing for 20,000 people in a football stadium and headlining at an international party event such as Sydney’s Mardi Gras, which he has done on numerous occasions. 2008 saw the 30th anniversary of this incredible party and of all the DJs in all of the world, it was Paul that was chosen to bring Mardi Gras to a close. It was 8am, there were 12,000 party goers still dancing and on came Sylvester’s “You make me feel (Mighty Real)” .. Bring on 2010! .. For Bookings contact: wilma@paulgoodyear.com .. .. -

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the great gig last Friday in Amsterdam during the Gay Pride weekend.
Oh my gosh… I had such a fantastic time with you and Offer Nissim! Awesome music!
The bouncers at the door warned me that this party would not be my thing b/c I am a straight girl. At the same time there was a reaggaton/bubbling party at area 2 so they thought I’d intended to go there…. but no way! I just came to see both you and Offer. I am so glad I was brave enough to attend. ;-)
The crowd was wonderful too… and the place was literally hot and steamy!
You ROCK and RULE my friend!
Here is the flyer!
Greetz, MJ;-)
Saw this...couldn't resist! Hope you're enjoying the retro mixes! -Dave
