A professional DJ since the 70’s, Paul has become an international club legend with his RETRO HOUSE nights.

Since those early days in the UK, Paul has built up a reputation as the dj who is passionate about his music - knowing exactly what the people want and getting the dance floor buzzing. 

His philosophy to keep close to his audience has been an unequivocal success. Involved in the creation of the dance outfit Loveland in the early 90’s achieving four top thirty hits in the nationals and dance music record of the year in 1994 with the seminal "Let the music lift you up". Loveland also remixed and reproduced over 60 tracks for other artists from D Ream, Barbara Tucker, D Mob to Lulu.

Recently the newly formed Rox & Taylor received huge critical acclaim for the remix of Red Hot Chilli peppers ‘ Otherside’. 

Having released numerous Retro compilation albums, his residency in Pacha Ibiza sparked the release of the Pacha Classics album; a huge success on a worldwide scale and the biggest selling album in Ibiza. 

Much has been written about this enigma of a man who developed from a teen DJ on the decks in Burnley to an internationally recognised icon.

Playing all types of music from the commercial mainstream to RnB and House music.

I got into house music after going to the likes BacktoBasics and Hard Times in Leeds and got inspired seeing the likes of Roger Sanchez, Ralph Lawson, Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak . After messing around on mates decks and buying records for a few years I decided to buy some decks and eventually got the chance to play a small club in Halifax, The Tube where he was resident for nearly 7 years playing alongside the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Danny Rampling, Rocky (X-Press 2), Seamus Haji, Graeme Park, K-Klass, Judge Jules, CJ Mackintosh, Lisa Loud & Soul Avengerz. Whilst there I was also made monthly resident for Paul Taylor's Retro nights playing classic house, playing all over the north of England. 

Live solo performer, keyboard sessionist, collaborator, remixer, producer.
