NAME: Paul Wise

HOMETOWN: Bristol

DJ HISTORY: (Paul`s own words) "I started buying records and DJing at house parties back in 1990. I was properly into the underground stuff — Chicago House, Acid, Techno and Electro, although it wasn’t really split into genres at that point. Some of my first biggish gigs were supporting "Alabama 3" in Brixton, playing at "Slack" in Brighton, and doing some of the "Fun-Da-Mental" parties in the early '90s.
Back in the days when I had the energy to keep going, I was always the one playing the afters. Five or six hour sets, digging deep, keeping it going while everyone else was just chilling. That’s when I felt most in my element.
After moving to Bristol, I became a resident for "under_score" and later joined "I Love Acid", where I still play now. Been very lucky to DJ with some of my musical heroes thanks to the "I Love Acid" nights.
In 2015, I started a radio show on "Estimulo’s" platform called "We’re Going Deep" - It was actually just the record on the deck at the time, but I love the record and the sentiment behind. I started a Facebook group alongside it to chat tunes and connect with people, and it ended up growing to over 15,000 members. Off the back of that, I launched a label, also called "We’re Going Deep" — using a lot of the contacts I’d made through the group. Since then I’ve put out over 20 releases, all sticking to the same idea: deep, timeless electronic music".

INSPIRATION: "My inspiration really came from the club nights I was going to back then - "Tonka Sound System" played a huge part — especially Harvey, Chocci, and Rev — but also the "Crazy Club" at Astoria, "Dance Wicked" at The Arch, and "Labyrinthe" in its pre-hardcore days. And of course, all the pirate radio stations. "Fantasy FM" in particular was a massive influence. That’s where I was hearing tunes I couldn’t find anywhere else — it lit the fuse for digging and collecting".

PRODUCTIONS / RELEASES: Paul started the "We`re Going Deep" label in 2020 - you will find a full back catalogue of work via the We`re Going Deep Discogs release archive (link attached) - including releases from Derek Carr, Posthuman, Gilbert, ReKaB, Reedale Rise, Owain Kimber, Tim Jackiw, Al Bradley, Sound Synthesis, Suddi Raval, Jamie Anderson, Luke Vibert, D5, James Shinra, DFD, Carl Finlow, E.R.P and more.

Q. What sounds or feelings did you draw upon when gathering inspiration for this mix, and what listening environments could you imagine it being best enjoyed in?

A. My inspiration was driven by the urge to showcase lots of artists who have been on heavy rotation over the years. Somewhat cliche, but it was really important to blend genres and energies that represented every aspect of what I listen to, am inspired by alongside how and when they were experienced. Tracks I’ve loved listening to on my own, while entertaining friends, during lock in record nights and those tracks designed to be shared in public spaces and events. 
 
Finding a cohesive path through those different styles, genres and energies was the adventure in this mix. Distilling a sonic mountain of records into something that flowed seamlessly and translated well when listening back in all of those moments felt most authentic. A mix best consumed while moving, sharpening that assignment, at the tail end of a dinner party as the vibe shifts to next gear or while embracing the magic of a lock in with the crew. 

This has translated into snapshots, across a timeline stitched together from records new and old, capturing a weekend drive, early floors through to closed doors, spilling onto the street, the afterhours and beyond. Almost two and a half hours of ambient ear candy, arm chair burners, peak melters and thought provokers that attempt to relive moments and feelings from our past years listening, curating and creating electronic music.

Q. I know you’ve developed a close kinship with some modern pillars of the dub techno scene, mastering and editing .VRIL’s 2025 Edit of his classic tune ‘UV’ and being tasked with closing out his recent Melbourne show. Tell us how that connection came about, and what other studio projects have you got bubbling away that you’re excited to share?

A. I first reached out to .Vril ahead of a past tour to Australia. His music resonated with me so much that I wanted to meet him for a coffee. Since then, we’ve hung out a few times, shared music, and bounced some tracks off each other. It was an absolute highlight, when he asked to be a part of reshaping ‘UV’ and he's kindly returned serve with a remix for my follow up EP, 'Modern Explorer II' on local imprint Denude. We’ve had some very early conversations around a collaboration next time he’s out here and I would really like to continue pushing creativity here.

In the background, I've been spending a good amount of time in my studio. Focusing on creating for myself and helping others. Improving my abilities as a mix engineer has been a big focus and I’ve been fortunate enough to work on a number projects with artists locally and abroad. Whether that be mixing, providing creative direction, arrangement work or mastering. I really love working with others and often find it more enjoyable than working alone. In saying that, I’m building a volume of new music that needs an outlet and will focus on that over the next few months.

This volume strayed into dreamy house and retro percussive sounds and spans 1988 through to Nov 2018...
