Darren Porter's set from Rave to Remember on 12th July 2025

Rave to Remember - Darren Porter

Bald Paul is a massive trance fan and DJ for UK Trance Society.

Paul's journey with trance spans decades, ignited by a chance encounter with the Reactivate 5 compilation. Featuring timeless hits like the Jam and Spoon remix of "The Age of Love" and Sil "Blue Oyster," this CD stands as the most influential album in Paul's life, sparking a passion for trance that continues to burn brightly.

Hailing from Somerset, Paul, who used to DJ back in his hairy days, rekindled his passion in 2018. Since then, he's graced the decks for London trance brands Trance Sanctuary, Liberation, Transcend, and All Things Trance, sharing the stage with trance icons like The Thrillseekers, Signum, Maria Healy and more. 

While Paul's favourite style leans towards the uplifting and euphoric, he also has a soft spot for melancholic tracks like Airbase's "Escape" and Activa's "Disharmonic," as well as emotionally charged tunes like Dave Neven and Nicholas Gunn's "Love You More."

Paul is a regular DJ for UKTS and plays at events several times a year, check out his Facebook page for details about his next gig.

I'm a complete music nut! Music is everything to me and I couldn't live a day without it! Ask anyone, you won't see me without my headphones lol :-)

I'm also the founder or Raveability. A group that assists ravers with disabilities getting out of the house and onto the trancefloor. Take a look at the FB page or website for more details. ♿️❤️🎵
Lol I've also founded a group for the more mature ravers. Wrynkly Ravers. 
Come and join in the fun there too if you're up for it! 😁🤣

I like all types of genres but I have a particular fondness for progressive trance, goan trance, hard house, funky house and chill out. To be honest just plug me into most Trance and I'm happy :-)

I'd love to be able to produce music, I have tried to dabble with Cubase but couldn't seem to get my head around it (totally self taught and I prob should buy a tutorial book huh!) I do hope to get a tutor to teach me as I know in my head and heart that I could make amazing tunes. Whether you'll like them or not I'm unsure but my reason for making music is for me and if you like it then even better :-) UPDATE: Ha still to busy listening to all that fab music out there to get my finger out and actually teach myself :-) hehehehe :-) 

Until then I shall happily listen to all the talented producers on here and my life will be full & content! Happy dancing folks! :-)

TAFF xxx

I love to dance 💃🏻
