“It’s time to unite our past with the future and reinvent the U.S. techno scene based on something with principal and soul, not just 'boom, boom, boom,' and in doing so give the American underground a scene that they can finally call their own.” - DJ Paul Edge (2007)

“When the doors of perception are cleansed, man will see things as they truly are, infinite…" -
William Blake, “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” [1730-1732]
There are artists that spend a lifetime waiting for success to find them. Then there are artists who spend a lifetime creating their own legacy, quietly confident that their time will come. For Paul Edge, that time is now. It is a time marked by the culmination of success, synergy and an unwavering spiritual energy. Seduced by the pulse of electronica and allured to the soul, spirit, swagger and power of psychedelic music, DJ Paul Edge has spent the past decade refining his craft, breaking down boundaries, and redefining how the art he creates can alter the world he inhabits. The results are Psychedelic Dance Music.
A pioneering force and presence as electronic music blossomed worldwide throughout the 1990s, DJ Paul Edge simultaneously headlined and promoted one of the United Kingdom’s longest-running and most-successful club nights, The Outer Limits, while creating and performing music that is still heralded for putting a permanent thumbprint on the Trance scene.
It was in 2004 that Edge decided to climb the mountain that few of the world’s top DJs had dared to confront: The United States. With the American electronic scene existing as little more than a trickling, if not stagnant, underground, Edge rode the same psychedelic aura that inspired The Outer Limits and his acclaimed Trance track “Metamorphosis Of Narcotics” and We Will Not Be Silenced.
In his original compositions—all written and produced, in entirety, by Edge—acidic techno, ethereal soul and unearthly Native American music blend brilliantly. The results are powerful, capturing the warmth and spirit of the analog era, while utilizing the technological innovations that will help propel dance music to the forefront of American culture.
Coupled with Edge’s music is a rare artistic vision that incorporates values, substance and style. Inspired by artists whose voices are as definitive as their music, he thirsts for a legacy that, albeit different musically, can achieve commercial success while occupying the same spiritual plane as Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and even Pink Floyd. To that end, he merged his musical fire with the jarring visuals of his TOL23 Design company to create “We Will Not Be Silenced,” two of the most-viewed viral videos in internet history. He was then commissioned by Climate Counts to write the soundtrack for “Unstoppable,” a global climate change video created specifically for airing at the Live Earth concert events.
Enter the world of The Shaman DJ, and the realm of Psychedelic Dance Music…
DJ PAUL EDGE: Timeline
“Paul Edge made jaws drop during his debut performance at Buzz [December 2001]. His techno electro-fusion [electro-clash] sound was still largely unknown, and pushing labels like Gigolo to an uneducated U.S. crowd was indeed groundbreaking, but that is what makes Paul Edge such a good DJ. From being one of the first DJs to play Trance in Canada in 1995, to introducing tech house to a packed Twilo crowd, Paul Edge consistently treads where others fear to go. Perhaps his lack of worldwide ‘fame’ stems from the fact that once other DJs catch on, he..s already moved on.” - DJ Simon, host of Redux on XM Radio
[1996]
Under the name Twister, Paul Edge releases the single “Metamorphosis of Narcotics.” Only released in Belgium and Holland (and never on CD). A decade later, the track is still hailed as one of the top Trance recordings of all time.
[1997]
Paul Edge’s The Outer Limits co-promotes the first annual World Trance Festival, in Toronto, with Destiny Promotions. The three-day event features nearly 100 artists and is, at the time, the largest dance festival in city history. 2007 marks the World Trance Festival’s 10th Anniversary.
[1998]
At New York City’s legendary Twilo nightclub (capacity: 1,000), DJ Paul Edge performs a headlining set in front of a packed crowd of 3,000. Despite the overflow crowd (more than 5,000 are turned away at the door) city officials let the infamous night go on, which it does incident-free.
[1999]
“Sequence 23” is the debut release on Paul Edge’s own Response Audio record label, which later becomes RAD23. DJ Carl Cox closes his live BBC broadcasts from Ibiza, Spain, with the track, which goes on to sell more than 30,000 units.
[2000]
After a three-year run as one of the U.K.’s most acclaimed residencies, the Paul Edge-promoted-and-headlined club night The Outer Limits follows its New Year’s Eve 1999 culmination with a three-week, 12-city tour of North America. Attendance tops 20,000.
[2001]
Edge releases “Wappi” on his RAD23 label. In 2004, legendary Techno DJ Dave Clark calls the track “an immensely-powerful drum workout that pays homage to the Chicago-jacking grooves that have inspired us all,” and adds: “It has also been a secret part of my armory for many years.”
In fall 2001, Edge headlines the U.S. atop the Nintendo Cube Tour. The tour’s final stop is a week-long, eight-hour-a-day DJ engagement at the Mall of America, in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN.
[2002]
The first DJ to bring the Electro-Clash sound to North America (as detailed by DJ Simon, above), DJ Paul Edge introduces the style to United States crowds on his Remote Control tour, with Keoki in support. Five years later, in 2007, Electro-Clash is the trendy sensation sweeping America.
[2003]
On the heels of his Remote Control tour, Edge releases “Live In Phoenix” as an internet-only, free download. The 90-minute mix is downloaded more than 5.0 million times worldwide.
[2004]
Driven by the rising body count in Iraq, Edge writes and creates “We Will Not Be Silenced,” a TOL23-produced viral video. Viewed more than 6.0 million times online, in July 2007 the video is awarded the inaugural Progressive Source Award for Best Awareness-Raising Video.
[2005]
In the wake of the Dec. 26 tsunami that killed more than 225,000 people in Southeast Asia, Edge writes and records “Melissa.” Available only online, all proceeds are donated to tsunami relief.
Edge starts work on The Shaman DJ album, a project that will ultimately take 2 years to complete.
Following Hurricane Katrina, DJ Paul Edge and The Doors launch NOLA AID, a website featuring a video of Katrina-ravaged images set to Edge’s rework of “Riders On The Storm.” The site receives more than 500,000 visits, raising $250,000 for The American Red Cross and other direct charities.
A voracious and at-times outspoken blogger, Edge’s Sept. 4 post criticizes the government’s response to Katrina. The blog is cited on-air and hailed by BBC Radio 1 icon Annie Nightingale.
[2006]
“We Will Not Be Silenced II” is written, recorded and launched online, utilizing cutting-edge Cinema 3D and After Effects technology. In it, Edge samples Barry McGuire’s ‘60s folk anthem “Eve of Destruction.” Says McGuire: “We are totally overwhelmed. There are no words to convey the power of that piece… Flabbergasted and honored that ‘Eve’ might have helped inspire such a work!”
[2007]
DJ Paul Edge performs live for the first time in two years on June 15, in Portland, OR. Unveiling the next chapter in his artistic evolution, his two-hour set is all new, and composed entirely of his own music, production and video. Dubbed The Shaman DJ, Edge’s Psychedelic Dance Music fuses his innovative techno and trance with psychedelic culture and state-of-the-art sound and visuals.
Commissioned by Climate Counts, Edge’s “Unstoppable,” a viral video promoting global climate change, is created specifically for the worldwide Live Earth concerts July 7.
Mike Odd has spent the last 15 years touring the world with Paul Edge listening to loud music in sweaty clubs. As Edge..s best friend and business partner, Mike was an integral part of the legendary Outer Limits clubnight. Anyone who attended those hot, sweaty intense night will remember Mike leading the screaming dancefloor and creating mayhem and havoc. A brilliant graffiti artist, he teamed up with Edge 5 years ago to form TOL23 Design, a cutting edge flash design company that has won praise from around the globe.
TOL23 Design is the visual side of The Outer Limits. Now an integral part of Edge..s live shows. Mike..s genius comes from his ability to interpret the music with stunning visuals, providing the clubber on the dancefloor with a true psychedelic experience, fusing stunning imagery with the rhythm of the drum, creating on the fly and helping to take the music into The Outer Limits.
