UWFO is a Breakbeat project of a producer & DJ that share one goal with different backgrounds. Studio sessions are good for competing for mousetime, redoing work and debating on 1db of eq on a snaredrum... all leading to a unique sound driven by sheer dedication to producing authentic breaks tracks. All the obsessive knobfights, tweaking cracked analog synths, hanging with vocalists and musicians and raping the computer make up for Lazy Days’ and ‘FunkY Nights’

Gerwin is all about Breakbeat. His roots in 90’s underground Hiphop, Downtempo and Drum and Bass are vital to his trademark Funk- and Dub-infested, organic tracks. A musical family with years of studio practice make up for the technical side of UWFO, engineering, experimenting and always enhancing methods and tools. Currently he is busy on running 2 producer platforms on the Internet and has a history of teaching music production and DJ-ing.At the age of fifteen (oops, in 1990?) Paul was a full-time record store dweller, sucking up a caleidoscope on musical influences. For 10 years he played in several clubs, bars and private party's. Since 2000, Paul invested his spare-time more in producing, then in deejaying. Paul is more the human- and harmonic side of UWFO (Gerwin is a robot..gnifgnif). Besides making breakbeats, he is practicing on a Spanish Guitar, Tenorsax and his Photocamera.
