Hastings aka Paul Hastings Kitala is known as one of the most revered members of the Nairobi house scene. Paul has made it his duty to share house beats with a growing global audience as he continues to fine tune his art of mixology while building confidence and learning the intricacies of the music industry with that constant zeal to satisfy his clients and make sure that they are having a good time listening to his signature style of house mixes and mashups that take the audience on an adventure leaving them pumped with a high demand to crave more good house music. 

Hastings proudly hails from Kariobangi South, a city tucked deep in the east of Nairobi. His mom was a staunch soul music lover and it tricked down his 6 siblings. 

Music has always been his passion ever since he was very young. At age 10, he got introduced to a Daft Punk album called Discovery (2001) and ever since then he has always had soft spot for house music over all other genres.  

Since high school to college he always got time to gather new house music records while he played for his peers in parties from backyard barbeques to co-operate parties to club events & outdoor gigs within and out of the country. He and his friend formed Sanctified To Oblivion in 2012 and they were playing house music at small scale events around till late 2013 where he decided to break out on his own as Hastings under his own label and entertainment company, Beats Per Minute Entertainment after he attained his diploma in Aeronautical Engineering at age 22.

With his dial firmly set to musical creations, Hastings’ 2014 was filled with large amounts of studio time as he structured his classical debut LP ‘Just Fine’ that rocked airwaves in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in 2015 as that was where he started his journey as an artist. Occupying studio time with some of the greatest artists and DJs in United Arab Emirates, he learned and gained vast skills and experience in making, producing and playing house music. 

He returned to Kenya late 2015 after his successful endeavours in the middle east and ever since he has been continuing his adventures of spreading house music to the world by playing in over 50 club shows and well renowned local festivals and outdoor shindigs.

A lot has happened in the last 20 years of dance music, but one constant has been Get Physical right at the sharp end of the scene. The label has become a globally recognised symbol of quality, renowned for its always varied and vital house output. Forming the backbone of the label's vast catalogue is the influential in-house DJ mix series, Body Language. It is a snapshot of exactly where the underground is at and has been assembled by tastemakers such as Azari & III, Catz ‘N Dogz, Dixon, DJ Hell, Francesco Tristano, Nôze and of course label-founders Booka Shade, DJ T., and M.A.N.D.Y..

Next to that there has been a constant stream of innovative, dance-floor ready singles, crossover club classics, seminal remixes and a number of standout artist albums. The label has always stayed true to its house roots, but with a rich array of influences taken from the worlds of disco, deep, tech and melodic house. Along the way, Get Physical´s core artists have been joined by red hot new talents including Alinka, Thandi Draai, PAUZA, Yulia Niko, Birds Of Mind, CIOZ and Monkey Safari. There have also been carefully considered forays into thriving house music scenes in Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Croatia and India: dedicated compilations and EPs have highlighted those region's most exciting new talents and given them a global platform. 

The name says it all: Get Physical tracks could hardly be more moving and corporeal. It was true in 2002, and it will be true in 2025 and beyond.
