DJ Roger Paõlo.
Roger Paõlo (1973) started his musical career back in the early 80’s by learning how to play guitar. A few years later he had played in some bands and started to play bass-guitar. After playing funk and soul music in 5 different bands and some serious clubbing at places like RoXY, Nighttown and Café d’Anvers (Antwerp) he decided to swap the instruments for the turntables and a mixer. He started with a residence in 1995 in club Flair in Vlissingen, a place where Hero Bonardi also played in these days.
After 3 years Roger moved to Breda where he played in several bars and clubs like Spock and Jojo’s. He did some after-hours gigs in Dino’s in Amsterdam. He became resident DJ for the Dutch Snowboard Championships in Switzerland. Since 2002 he plays bi-monthly gig at Oebele, Breda, later followed by a monthly residence at the Odessa in Amsterdam, and a regular gig at SupperClub, also in Amsterdam.
Although he had made music on live instruments in bands for a long time, Roger started producing music only 2 years ago. Nowadays, since he works at his Taste Flavour studio you can hear some self produced music in Rogers sets.
Other places where Roger played are among others:
Suite Club Granada (Spain)
