DJ
House Foundation started DJ'ing in 1989, just 6 months later
he secured a weekly residency in the infamous Colchester 'Hippodrome'
nightclub at the mere age of 19. Whilst continuing to define
his unique style in many of the bars and clubs in and around
the Colchester area, Paul was studying for a degree in music
at 'Trinity College of music' in London, with church organ,
piano and composition as his primary studies. Much of his
knowledge and passion for classical music is illustrated in
his house sets, where juicy harmonies are as prevalent as
uplifting and catchy melodies.
In 1995 he began working for BBC local radio and a year later
moved to London to work as a studio sound engineer for BBC
World Service. This entailed recording bands, mixing sound
for the likes of Mark Goodier and Tommy Vance, and making
a variety of live and recorded programmes both for speech
and music-based broadcast.
Meanwhile he was returning to Colchester to continue DJ'ing
commitments in 'Henleys Bar' as well as securing a new weekly
residency in Chiswick at 'Nachos'. After moving permanently
to London, and at the same time into BBC Television, the demand
for his DJ style was increasing, offers of regular gigs were
in abundance and he reluctantly gave up the Colchester scene
in favour of taking another weekly residency at 'Rumours'
in Hammersmith, also playing the 'Hammersmith Palais', 'Limelight',
numerous other venues around London, the home counties and
countless BBC parties. On the international stage Paul has
DJ'ed extensively in Cyprus and perhaps most notably of all
Ibiza, the world-renowned capital of dance music.
Until a year ago DJ House
Foundation was playing at the 'Hogshead' in Marlow, however,
following the enormously successful launch and phenomenal
demand of his Saturday night residency at 'Baroque' in West
Ealing, London, Paul is now resident DJ there Friday and Saturday
(and bank holiday Sunday) nights 10-2am. The popularity of
podcasting the sets recorded live at 'Baroque' each weekend
has taken DJ House Foundation and the online outfit to a new
level. Transcending the limits of playing to capacity crowds,
it has allowed Paul to build a truly global and loyal fan
base on a vast scale, with up to 3000 house music lovers downloading
the mixes 24/7. This achievement has gained DJ House Foundation
international recognition and the prestigious position of
reaching the top 10 iTunes music chart.
Paul has defined his individual style of playing marathon
all night sets remaining deep in the mix from start to finish
with an eclectic mix of uplifting house music.
