<b>Half Danish, half Dutch, but always 100% dedicated... Some call him a music maniac.</b>

Maybe it’s because he has his tentacles in so many different areas of the music industry; Having his own radio show ‘Adapt to this!’ on several radio stations world-wide, hosting his own festival “Trix in the Mix” twice a year in his home town Den Bosch, dj-ing, producing and running his labels Adapt Recordings and Cutbrook. 
 
Still doesn’t ring a bell? Let us further introduce Jorgensen:
 
His first release “Untitled” got picked up straight away by Toolroom Records. Ever since he has been producing and remixing for labels such as: Spinnin, Toolroom, Hotfingers, Natura Viva, Sony  and his own label Adapt recordings of course. With over 200 releases on Beatport and multiple compilations, he is even more dedicated than the day he started!
 
His skills are not limited to producing. He is also a highly skilled DJ, performing for crowds all over the world. Clubs, festivals, no crowd is safe for the energy he unleashes. He has a way of connecting with the audience and taking them on an intense journey through cutting edge grooves, with only one goal: crowd satisfaction!  
 
Jorgensen has raised the bar yet again for 2012 with his own label Adapt Recordings. He wants to take a new yet revived approach to electronic dance music as a DJ and producer. He recently quoted: 
 
“ We receive so many outstanding productions each day, that me and the Adapt Team decided to do more releases on a monthly basis, with quality house music from the respected names and new kids pulling the wagon for a new generation! I wanted to create a label that embraced the spirit of electronic dance music in the late 80’s. An era in which music wasn’t pigeon-holed constantly and DJ’s were versatile and eclectic. And so far we did goooooood! ”

In 2012 Adapt Recordings will provide you with even more outstanding releases by: Filthy Rich, Belocca, Darko de Jan, Mike Newman, RiddimJunkies, Frashad Kay and more exciting, promising and established names in the world of tech house…

Following their debut single release of ‘Larissa’ in 2011 and their ‘Early Nightmares’ EP, Hot Casandra were catapulted into instant success in Romania with TV and Radio appearances, magazine articles such as FHM and various live performances at festivals and clubs in the Eastern Block.

Success followed in 2012 with the singles Julia (a collaboration with Elena Vasilache) and Hold me Tight (featuring Bianca Ionescu). 2013 was marked by the release of 'Getaway Heart' EP with its' instantly recognisable 'Operatic Female Having a Crack' that was later featured on a 2015 Buddha Bar Compilation.

2014 has been a busy year for Hot Casandra, as they moved their headquarters to London. Fresh off the back of performances at Pacha, Bestfest and Opener and with sets at Ministry of Sound and Egg, Paul has been spinning his Smooth Electro sounds at top clubs around the London circuit.
