From being one of South Africa’s finest exports, after having held the residency at Johannesburg’s super-club ESP, to playing sets at Ibiza’s Amnesia “The World’s Best Global Club 2008” and successfully holding residency this summer at Privilege, “The World’s Biggest Club”, this young breakthrough artist is certainly making his mark in the music industry.
Since Paul propelled into the international market three years’ ago, he has produced a list of influential tracks, which have been play-listed in Mixmag, remixed by major artists, released on many well-respected labels and played at festivals and clubs around the globe by some of world’s top DJs.
Paul’s own personal stamp on the electro/tech house genre has meant his talent is in increasing demand, through both new track releases and in the flesh! It is this success that has taken him all over Europe to play at some of the world’s most well known clubs including Ministry of Sound, Pacha, Amnesia, Privilege and Fabrik’s “Ultra Music Festival”, not to mention the infamous Rotterdam Street Parade. He is now finishing up his first summer residency in Ibiza having played at the “Juicy Ibiza” nights at Privilege, alongside Robbie Rivera, Marco V, Inpetto, Stonebridge, and making special guest appearances at Amnesia’s “Contact” nights alongside Brian Cross.
As Paul “the DJ”, he has already featured on the same bill as hard-hitting professionals such as Robbie Rivera, Sebastian Leger, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Stonebridge, Peter Gelderblom and Rene Amesz. As Paul “the Producer/Remixer”, he has worked with the likes of Redanka, Brian Cross, Barnes & Heathcliff and Nino Anthony, while getting his “music out to the fans” through releases on labels such as Black Hole Recordings, Juicy Music, Chameleon Muzik, Navida Music and Play Records.
Paul’s steadfast relationship with Juicy Music has seen him gain additional success with tracks like “Extra Sensory Perception” and “Sounds Like Acid”, which have also been remixed by Robbie Rivera, Armand Pena, Tony Arzadon, DJ Inphinity and Willie Morales. However, it is his more recent tracks have been causing quite a stir - “Superfreak” has been super successful having gone straight into the Buzz Charts at 17 and released on the Juicy Buenos Aires Compilation earlier this year with many subsequent re-releases the most notable being on Tiesto’s Black Hole Recordings label. “Breakthrough”, which Navida Music recently signed, has also had massive support and marks a momentous occasion in this young DJ’s career, given the track’s name!
2009 has already added another notch to Paul’s international credentials both as a DJ and as a Producer. Not only has he been diligently carving a name for himself in the London club scene, but this summer’s residency in Ibiza has not seen Paul resting on his laurels; he has several new tracks and remixes out at the end of the summer through Juicy Music, Chameleon Muzik and Chicago’s Funktion Recordings, one of the industry’s most respected house labels. In addition, under his alias Richard Sharp, where he experiments with his love of Techno, he has just released two new tracks: “It’s Coming” and “Higher Dimension”, which have both been picked up for worldwide re-release by Play Digital in Canada.
Paul's passion for music has helped him to carve a technically efficient sound while adding his own personal flair to the genre of music he produces. His ability to “read” a crowd has earned him a first-rate reputation in intimate venues and super-clubs alike. He is certainly setting the music industry alight with his infectious love of what he does best constantly breaking through and taking the international music scene to a higher dimension!
