With a career spanning over 25 years, Paul Hazendonk is a true veteran of the global electronic music scene. Known for his distinct sound and tireless dedication to his craft, Paul has built a reputation as both an acclaimed DJ and an influential industry figure.

Since the early 2000s, Paul has toured extensively across the globe, performing in more than 40 countries—from the pulsating clubs of Berlin and the underground venues of Toronto, to dancefloors in Sydney, Paris, Kuala Lumpur, Budapest and beyond. He’s held residencies at some of the Netherlands' most iconic nightclubs, including Las Palmas (Rotterdam), Asta (The Hague), and AIR (Amsterdam), and has performed at renowned events such as Awakenings, Dance Valley, and Electronation.

Paul's deep roots in the scene trace back to Rotterdam’s legendary Basic Beat, a well-known record store and record company, where he took his first steps in label management and music curation. It was here that the foundation was laid for Manual Music—his own record company, which has since grown into a respected and influential force within the electronic music landscape. Today, Manual Music is Paul's primary focus. The company encompasses multiple sub-labels and operates its own publishing and digital distribution divisions, managing a vast catalogue of tens of thousands of tracks from a wide range of international artists.

As a music producer, Paul's discography reflects the evolution of electronic music over the years. His work has been released on respected labels such as Get Physical Music, Sony/Epic, Diynamic, Sudbeat, Kittball, Einmusika, and 3000Grad, though in recent years he has focused primarily on releasing through his own Manual Music imprints to retain full creative control and artistic independence. Over the years, he has also released multiple DJ mix compilations and two full-length artist albums.

Beyond the booth and studio, Paul is a respected voice in the Dutch music industry. He’s frequently invited as a keynote speaker and panelist at music conferences and has served as an examiner for the renowned Herman Brood Academy, mentoring the next generation of music professionals.

From underground clubs to global dancefloors, from vinyl bins to running one of the scene’s most trusted brands, Paul Hazendonk’s journey reflects a lifelong dedication to music in all its forms.
