DJ, radio presenter, record dealer and self confessed vinyl junkie, Paul is a respected selector that plays across the board and rocks a party with ease.

Paul’s DJ sets come rooted in the past whilst giving a nod to the future, effortlessly joining the dots between funk, soul, disco, boogie, hip hop, jazz, afrobeat, reggae, bass, house and techno.

Possibly best known as the host of the Dig Deep Radio Show, Paul has worked with some of the most respected DJs and live acts from around the world. A seasoned club and festival regular (Beat-Herder, The Vintage Festival, Vintage By The Sea...), Paul has residencies in Manchester's Northern Quarter and can often be found DJing behind closed doors in some dark seedy basement doing what he loves.

When Paul is not playing his own records he is probably selling some to someone else via Dig Deep Records - an online record store which constantly supplies a raft of taste-maker DJs across the UK and beyond with the best music both old and new.
