APaul

A.Paul was born in the beautiful city of Lisbon (Portugal) in 1971.
His first contact with music was at the age of 6 through the influence of his older sister who was really into the funky disco sound. His musical roots are deeply connected with great musicians such as George Benson, Imagination, Al Jarreau, Quincy Jones, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, and later with Kraftwerk, true pioneers of what we now call electronic music.
Portugal never really had an interest in these styles, but for the curious minds that felt these grooves, there was always a small record shop available.
By the time acid house hit Europe by the end of the 80’s, he was already mixing for some time, making some parties with his own equipment, and his work was recognized by the portuguese dj J. Daniel, who gave him the opportunity in 91 to start playing as a resident in a club that held the capacity for a 1000 people and also invited him to work at his record shop and with whom he also released his first vinyl record in 94, on his imprint Question of Time. This record was also licensed to the mythical Italian label UMM. This was a time of great discovery in music, made A.Paul forge and polish his own style of music and skills as well, leading him to become resident of two of the most charismatic clubs at that time, Climacz in 94 and Kremlin in 96 both in Lisbon.
In 1995, after his first international gig in Augsburg - Germany, he became the techno import manager for Illegal Records, and with this new step he is able to get all the latest promos of techno, and release his music on his own labels, first Squeeze Records with another 2 portuguese djs, and later on his own Onh.Cet. This was the when he got definitely addicted to techno music, absorbing all the new influences from Detroit, Chicago, the first minimal wave from Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Joey Beltram, and also the European faction with The Advent, Surgeon, Luke Slater, James Ruskin, Steve Rachmad, Maurizio among a lot of other artists and labels that deeply inspired him throughout the years.
The next couple of years A.Paul released music for other international labels which made his name more and more popular hence leading to an expectable increase of gigs in his country, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Slovakia, Germany and Denmark.
When he joined the X-Club agency and party organization company in 1997, he finally had the chance to play regularly with all the top techno and house djs one can imagine, transcending new ways of understanding the art of djing, different styles of music, and the chance to start co-producing music with renowned artists and establishing good friendships with them, even remaining in contact with some of them today. Besides music, he also embraces a new artistic passion with visuals, being the graphic designer for X-Club for over 2 years, and created ‘Oblivion Visual Concepts’ which exists even today.
His productions got refined with experience, his debut album “Neurofunk” was charted as one of the best techno albums on Dj Magazine on October 98, and he licensed tracks to compilations all around the world, from which we can accentuate the ones mixed by Carl Cox, Takkyu Ishino, Jim Masters & Dj Vibe.
In 2001 he opened an online record shop called Genesis Records, which grew to the point that he had to open an actual shop, promoting techno and new styles of open minded music like no other place in Portugal. He also created a label for the shop where he released a few records. The following years were filled with remarkable success, increased popularity, which made him become the Best Portuguese Techno Dj 3 years in a row, voted by the readers of Dance Club Magazine, the main media vehicle for dance music in Portugal.
New projects and ideas kept coming out of A.Paul’s mind, he created Mooshi Mooshi a merchandising company, he founded Secret Society, a night in Lisbon dedicated to techno, and more recently he opted to quit all his other activities (design, promoting, chronicle writer and record reviewer), dedicating himself strictly to music production and djing. He feels more active than ever and finally he is breaking some of his own boundaries, producing from tech-house under the pseudonym Luther Miek, techno as A.Paul and one cannot forget his rebel soul which is manifested in his minimal and experimental works this time under the alias of Loudon Kleer.
He now runs 6 record labels (Naked Lunch, Dirty Ego, LK, Parallel 125, Triple Recordings and The Light) releasing both digitally and on vinyl. A.Paul’s music can now be found on great labels such as Kombination Research, Analytic trail, Mastertraxx, Black Pitch Music, Labrynth, MHX, Infecta,*Cutz, among others. He has already remixed great artists like The Advent or Robert Armani (check discography for more details).
A.Paul has nearly 20 years of djing experience, gone through and followed closely the beginning of electronic music history until now and is now part of this wonderful culture on a world-wide level. He is a very focused dj, very technical and always likes to take people on a musical journey, blending all sorts of electronic vibes, usually with a funky powerful techno mood.
