One of the UK’s most pioneering figures Paul Arnold has blazed a trail through dance music.

Founder & mastermind behind two of the world’s most cutting edge dance labels Certificate 18 & Fat! Records, Paul’s dedication to quality coupled with prophetic insights into the sounds of tomorrow has helped shape dance music as we know it today.

As a promoter and DJ, Paul has booked and played alongside some of the scene’s biggest and most diverse names… Derrick May, Bushwacka!, Fabio, Grooverider, James Lavelle, Krafty Kuts, Adam Freeland, Freq Nasty and countless others. He established London’s first breakbeat night, Breaking Point, which has helped establish the breakbeat scene that we know today. And he has been a fundamental part of its development by helping put the scenes leading DJs & producers such as the Plump DJs, Tayo on the map.

Chew the Fat! is the longest running and most successful breakbeat night in the world, asserting itself with it’s main room residency at The End, one of London’s most prestigious venues. From 3-5am Paul demolishes the dance floor month after month with his own inimitable original brand of succulently tinged techy house breaks with a dash of funk. Chew the Fat! Is also establishing regular parties in Brighton, Manchester, Berlin, Glasgow and Budapest.

Paul is an outstanding DJ with an eye for the crowd that comes from holding down a highly successful weekly residency for over 8 years! He played blistering sets at Bestival and Glade Festivals in 2005 and 2006 is shaping up nicely. With Fat!’s 8th Birthday tour to Australia in December and January and tours in Switzerland & Germany already confirmed for later in the year he will no doubt demonstrate just why he continues to be respected as one of the world’s top breaks DJs.
