Tall Paul

Tall Paul, began his DJ'ing career in the late 80’s, playing for private parties at his family’s venue, Turnmills. At the same time Paul started working with pirate radio stations Touchdown FM and the capital's legendary pirate Sunrise FM. Paul also used his experience to get a one hour slot at Turnmills' Saturday all-nighter Trade and in 1990 his obvious talent gained him his first residency and as gay clubs have always been at the forefront of innovation in dance music, Paul quickly became recognised for playing what one might alternatively call hard edged-house. Not long after his residency at Trade, Paul was offered a residency at the Zap Club in Brighton and there met up with Shelley Boswell, which lead to regular slots at the Gardening Clubs’ “Club For Life”.In 1992 Paul put out his first vinyl offering - the white label 'Love Rush', a Trade anthem. He then hooked up with Hooj Choons' Red Jerry and came up with the dance classic "Rock Da House," (later to be re-released in 1997 on VC Recordings, reaching No. 11 in the national charts.) The 2006 remix of this dance classic Fredde Le Grande has gone to the No. 1 spot in th UK Club Dance Chart. Paul then went on to produce numerous top 20 hits including the club anthems Escrima "Deeper" and "Train of Thought", and his highest entry to date, Camisra "Let Me Show You", entered new at No. 5.All this lead to a series of remix projects for artists such as New Order, Stone Roses, Erasure, Human League, K Klass, Wild Child, Hyperlogic, Energy 52, Duran Duran, Nalin & Kane, Blondie, Bizarre Inc more recently , Keane and The Killlers... the list goes on.
