About Me

Hi my name is Les Paul, no i'm not the famous guitarists who invented electric guitars and multitrack recording... I am a dj and promotor of Manchester's finest and longest running house night "Venus".
Les first got interested in mixing music after hearing "Greg Wilson" on the "Mike Shaft" show on Manchester Picadilly radio some 25 years ago.
"I was mesmerised by what Greg was doing with the music, editing and blending them together like i'd never heard before. He really was a genius and one of the originators of music and mixing in the UK. He was the person who gave me the insperation to do what I know and love today".
Les started dj'ing over 22 years ago as a funk, soul, rare groove and hip hop dj, as this was the club dance music of the time...
In the late 80's, Les, switched over from dj'ing to producing house music and produced & contributed to many massive club tracks released under various names.
Then in the mid 90's signed to AATW records & released 2 tracks into the UK charts with the bands, "G-Sensation" & "Pimp".
In 2000 Les got involved with Venus as the clubs web design guy, and gradually moved up to be one of promotors of Venus, and sister Friday night event, "Studio One11".
In 2004 Les decided to get back into dj'ing as he had purchased his first set of Pioneer CDJ's... "Since then I have never looked back... Vinyl is dead BIG TIME!!!".
"I found the ability to be able to edit tracks to your taste and make your own unique versions awesome.
Being able to burn to cd is so much more flexible versitile than being stuck with whats on the vinyl".
Les plays every month for Venus and also does the occasional guest spot here and there for other clubs.
If you want see somone going mental behind the decks, get down when Les is the wheels of plastic!!

My Interests

Dj'ing, making & producing music. And everything else that interests me, esspecially donkeys!! They're mint!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that is nice, I dont like people that are not nice... Most people are if you are nice to them... So be nice to someone and they will be nice right back atcha!!

Music:

Yes I love it!! Im pretty open minded about music, I like most kinds but particularly house, funky, vocal, pumping - Electro, breaks... blah blah. Cant stand so called real house music that goes no-where!! Music, for me, must do something. Someone that lays down a simple beat, puts the odd noise on and lets it play for a time need a good fucking slap!! Its just monotonous crap!! It really pisses me off when people slate good quality music, what ever style, because it might be uplifting or do something... Its called dance music... Make me dance not nod my fucking head!!

Movies:

recent: Lucky number sleven, Team America, infact everything... I love films except "brick", the shittest film ever made... well it aint, but it aint good... Noir bollocks!!

Television:

Yes I have two, but rarely watch it... background sound machines.

Books:

Not really read any for a while as im always busy, but love spy thrillers or stories with fantastic twists in.

Heroes:

I dont really have any... I admire people that give me something to admire them for and for different reasons...
My friends, they are my heroes because I love the shit out of them all!!
