Welcome back once again! Thanks for joining us for Episode #7 of The Depth Perception Sessions.

For this episode we welcome a true pillar of the contemporary electronic music scene, from the Netherlands: 

Paul Hazendonk.

Bio : 

Paul Hazendonk and his Manual Music record company are an essential part of the underground electronic music landscape. The kind and gentle Dutchman has been active as a label boss, deejay, and producer for nearly two decades, during which he performed in excess of 35 countries and has worked for labels such as Diynamic, Sudbeat, Einmusika, Kittball, Hope Recordings and Sony / Epic amongst countless others.

His independent record company Manual Music serves as a home for various record labels, several of which are headed by Paul himself. Deeply rooted in the electronic music scene, his company also takes care of the digital distribution-, label management, promo and publishing needs for numerous labels and artists.

In the earlier stages of his career, Paul honed and perfected his craft as a deejay through residencies at various clubs, including the legendary Las Palmas in Rotterdam. He got asked to play his first international gigs aged only 19 years old, and hasn’t looked back ever since, considering the fact that he’s performed anywhere from North America to Asia and from Australia to througout the whole European continent.

Although over the years he’s perfected his own distinctive sound, it’s not easy to pin Paul down and stick any one particular genre tag on him. He's an allround music aficionado first and foremost, who embraces the idea of a classic deejay, having total musical and artistical freedom. His sound is characterized by warm basslines and melodies, but always with an infectious drive, often blending elements of both house and techno music, also not shying away from the occasional sidestep into breakbeats or electronica.

Paul Hazendonk plays his DJ sets in the same way he’s running his record company; based on gut feel rather than being boxed in by fixed genres and trends. One thing is for certain: the vibe this true musical connaisseur radiates through his productions and deejay sets is always overflowing with true passion and love!

Driven by a passion for music with depth and feeling, and underpinned by an unswerving attention to detail, this UK based artist is still performing at the top of his game.

Growing up in the musical melting pot of the 80’s and 90’s, where technological advances in sound generation created a new sonic canvas, the desire to innovate has always been strong. Influences ranging from Kraftwerk to Zappa, from Bach to Beck contribute to a unique sound that frequently defies genres.

Bio:
Pepe has started his musical career back in 1994, deejaying from 1995 till 2009, for private reasons, he quit playing in clubs, but he could never stop his passion of music !!

However, Pepe then started his comeback in 2016 and plays occasionally in clubs again. But not alone anymore , by his side , his Mate , Steve S.

"Pepe, why do you play pure deep sounds ?"

"Thats a simple thing, the sound has a clear structure, soft basses, driving basslines paired with harmonic sounds and great surfaces !!
Music that can literally tell you a story, if you get involved and understand.

When I start a mix, i'm very focussed, completely turned into myself and live the music at this very moment, which can, i hope, be heard."

"Mixing has nothing to do with an effort, but with joy and passion !!"
