Songs of love, longing, and the search for meaning — where trip-hop beats meet shimmering guitar textures and widescreen synths.

We are Colour of Heartache, a trip hop/dream hop duo with echoes of Portishead, Slowdive and the XX. We got together in London earlier this year and have been recording ever since. 

We released our first single How Do I in August and we are starting our journey of bringing our music to a wider audience with some low key gigs in and around London.

Our second single Leave It All Behind is out now on all streaming platforms.

THE CATEGORY IS … AWARD WINNING …

Award winning is no understatement.

Winner of the DJ Mag Top 100 Lifetime Achievement Award (November 2022), the Keychange (PRS) Inspiration Award (Sound City April 2023), the NTIA Ambassadors of The Night Award (March 2024) DJ of the Year (Nordoff and Robbins) Northern Music Awards 2024, Manchester Culture Awards – Inspiration Award 2024 – Paulette is certainly racking up the awards and plaudits. 

No surprises here though, since Paulette is a highly regarded DJ, broadcaster and now author, celebrated around the world, born and raised in (and still resident of) Manchester. Over a 30-year career, she has scaled the heights of dance music fame and hedonism playing disco, house and techno to huge crowds and in cool underground basements. She is a DJ who is renowned for consistently ‘smashing’ every set she plays. One of two women to have a monthly residency at the Hacienda, she went on to have residencies at Brighton’s Zap Club and London’s Heaven and Ministry of Sound, before serving successful stints in Paris and Ibiza then returning to Manchester to rise again in her birth and spiritual home. She has a keen talent for reinvention and replicating excellence. Her second Essential Mix was broadcast on Radio One in February 2023. She is known for her monthly radio shows with Reform Radio, Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM and has a Global Residency show produced in collaboration with The Radio Department that can be found on Apple Music. She is a regular presenter stand-in on BBC 6 Music. 

She has played iconic B2Bs with Radio One Introducing Dance’s Jaguar, The Blessed Madonna, Erol Alkan, Stacy ‘Hottwax’ Hale, Prosumer, IsaBELLA and there are more planned for 2026. She shines consistently from disco through to tech house and has dazzled with sets for The Hacienda, Warehouse Project, Faith, Trade, HeSheThey, Kaiku in Helsinki, Corsica Studios, Blitz Club in Munich, Horsemeat Disco, El Row, Levels, Scissors, San Remo, Stonebridge and Greenpeace at Glastonbury, Bugged Out, Drumsheds , Glitterbox at Hi Ibiza and Defected in Malta amongst many more!

Aside from dj’ing Paulette is an events and exhibition curator and a regular contributor to radio shows as diverse as Afrodeutsche’s ‘The People’s Party’, Craig Charles’ Funk and Soul Show, Jamz Supernova on 6Music, Radcliffe and Maconie, Amy Lame, Anamatronic’s ‘Dance Devotion’, Eats Everything’s ‘Edible Beats’. She sits on the Regional and Live Events Committees (North) for the Musicians’ Union and is a Power Up mentor for shesaidso.  Her debut book ‘Welcome To The Club: The life and lessons of a black woman DJ’ published in January 2024 by Manchester University Press to huge critical acclaim and became available in paperback and audiobook formats in April 2025.  She is working on her second book and is closing out 2025 with a nomination for I Love Manchester’s Emmeline Pankhurst Award and has been permanently honoured by the city with an Akse-P19 mural in Deansgate, Manchester (creator of the George Floyd, Ian Curtis, Marcus Rashford, Victoria Wood, Michelle Yeoh landmarks).

HULLAH is a London-based and midlands-born writer-producer and designer creatively driven by a passion for nightlife culture, city-living and stories from the queer community. His personal projects are inspired by artists such as Everything but the Girl, Real Lies, Rahim Redcar (formerly Christine and the Queens) and Pet Shop Boys.

Wrapped in the sonic flavours of electro, 90s dance and synth-pop, HULLAH’s work emulates a nocturnal spirit, and is complemented by themes of alienation, ambition and a sense of dejection. His work, though introspective, reaches outward in its delivery, inviting the listener to join the songwriter on a journey as he navigates his way through the noise and distortion of everyday life in a soundstage that comforts and surprises.

Along with Sicily-born Nicole Bullet, HULLAH is also half of the electro pop duo, Futuretape – a songwriting partnership that explores how millennials navigate the digital world, friendships and internet culture. Their music combines a passion for nostalgia and the future and is characterised by 80’s synth-pop and PC music.
