The Basement Yard is a podcast ran by me, Joe Santagato. I would write a long description about what this podcast will be about but I'm not even sure.. Enjoy!

I love music. I do not know if I'll make any sounds. But I will happily listen and comment on others sounds. :)

Toronto based Producer with fire in his eyes and curator at Spiral Recordings and Burner Records.

For Paul David, being born in Scotland and emigrating to Windsor, Canada has certain advantages if you are an electronic music producer.

First, Windsor has the unique feature of being situated just two minutes by car from Detroit, Michigan, the city where one of electronic music's most important movements began and the sounds of seminal techno music broadcast from Detroit radio stations were easily received by those who lived in Windsor.

Meanwhile, Paul David's cousin back in Scotland was sending him a steady stream of mixtapes from the rich UK underground music scene.

Moving to Toronto after university, Paul began to release electronic music under the name Sudden and performing as a Live PA which led to him opening for techno legends Orbital and invitations to play at festivals like Detroit's Movement from Carl Craig, WEMF and Toronto's Edgefest, where he mixed beats to a huge crowd of astonished Nickleback fans. 

Later, Paul released two albums of 8-bit electronic music under the name "Le Bus"; stripped down songs with abstract yet catchy vocals. One of the albums CBC Radio declared "..could easily be one of the best electronic albums of the year!". This project made massive impact on Canadian college radio, gaining top tens in most Canadian cities.

Then, Paul David turned his attention to producing House and EDM, but always with one foot in his musical roots. It was then, along with fellow Toronto producer Barletta, that Paul co-founded the Burner Records label.

With releases on Cr2, Pukka Up and his own Burner Records, Paul's original productions and remixes have turned heads in the global dance music scene, receiving enthusiastic support from outlets such as Mixmag, the DMC Buzzchart, Earmilk, Hypemachine and world-renowned DJ's like Chuckie, Sebastian Ingrosso, Carl Craig, Sander Kleinenberg, Markus Schulz and BBC Radio 1 Dj Kissy Sell Out as well as numerous Beatport chartings.
