Paul grew up in London, and the Home Counties.
Paul had started promoting and holding events from an early age, always wanting to be at "THE" party - Paul brought "THE" party to everyone else...
Influenced from a rock and Indie background, Pauls first events and parties included the likes or 'Carter USM' EMF Jesus Jones and Family Cat UK as Indie took a hold of UK and London Paul had heard another sound first introduced to him from the Feet first DJ's "HARDCORE "
With the likes of Slipmatt, LSD, Hype, Grooevrider and Ratpack to name but a few, the music and the culture took a hold and the love of dance music was born!!!
In the proceeding years Paul became immersed in the dance culture traveling the country to legal and illegal (exodus - I will tell my grandkids about those parties _Paul W) parties, following DJ's and the crowds, and the ever changing music until - jungle took a real hold of London and the UK Scene -
The love of house came from a constant search for something more creative and emotional than speed garage and jungle/DNB.
As the UK Scene evolved the only way to provide for like minded people was to start holding events, Pauls first partnership and exclusive event "the Bubble BOP was a run away success leading Paul into some of Londons biggest and most credible events.
Several years of partying in London, chance meetings brought about a sudden decision to head to Ibiza 2001.
This is where the fun begins, In 2001 Paul was employed by two new promoters Joe buckle and Steve hollock to work as a PR manager for a new club night MIAMI at Eden San Antonio - this chance meeting led to the next of meeting Matt Collins (long time drinking buddy and DJ partner for the following 4) Matt introduced Paul to Mark Doyle Then label boss of Hed Kandi.
In 2002 Paul joined Hed kandi as Ibiza promoter and resident DJ, since then Paul has played alongside team kandi in venues around the world from London to Australia
Paul is now International booking agent for Hed Kandi and based at Ministry of Sound, London.
His first official release under the working name ASBO, was released on Hed Kandi with a great re working of Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jams classic track 'Let The Beat Hit Em'...
