We packed our lunches in brown paper sacks
Mom wrote our names with a heart on the back
Lined up by buses, all chatter and shoes
Headed for places we’d only seen on the news
The movies downtown, the matinee glow
Popcorn and hush as the curtains would flow
We saw lions roar and rockets fly
And once, a boy who touched the sky
Broadway lights on a Tuesday morn
We clapped for dancers, wide-eyed and worn
The ushers smiled like they knew our names
And we left with dreams we couldn’t explain
The museums smelled like marble and dust
We whispered near paintings, afraid to touch
Dinosaurs frozen in mid-step grace
And a mummy’s mask in a glass showcase
Those field trip days, they felt like flight
Like someone turned the world on bright
We were just kids with open eyes
Learning how to say goodbye
To the small-town halls and playground swings
To the safety of familiar things
But oh, the wonder we found each time
Still lives in the corners of my mind
We rode past rivers, through city streets
To parks where pigeons danced at our feet
The zoo was loud with animal calls
And the telescope made us feel so small
We climbed the stairs to the observatory dome
Saw Saturn’s rings and stars unknown
A teacher whispered, “That light you see
Left its home before you were three”
And I remember Jenny cried on the ride back home
Said her dad was sick and she felt alone
I gave her my sticker from the planet display
She smiled and said, “I’ll keep it always”
Those field trip days, they fade like chalk
On sidewalks washed by evening walks
But in my heart they still replay
Like reels of film from yesterday
We were just kids with open eyes
Learning how to say goodbye
To the ones we lost, the ones we miss
To the magic tucked in a school bus kiss
So if you ever find a ticket stub
Or hear a child laugh in a museum hub
Know that somewhere, someone still dreams
Of field trip days and movie scenes
Of Broadway lights and Saturn’s rings
And all the joy that memory brings

TRACKSTAR-ANDO READY

•Musician/DJ 
•Co-Founder of @sound_house_records

With nothing more than a second hand mixing kit and an eclectic array of records, PAOLO TOSSIO burst onto the London scene in 1996 - a truly independent talent with an authentic, uplifting, and humble approach, he became well known for his creative ingenuity, original grooves, diverse music genres, and high-energy positive vibes on the decks, and his ability to spread those positive vibes through his own productions - “It’s humbling to hear from people whose hearts and minds have been uplifted by my music”.

Waiting is his latest euphoric trance breaks single, released in January 2023 and receiving incredible feedback from DJs associated with KissFM UK and Australia, and artists on labels including PUKKA UP, Bedrock, Universal, and Defected - “we love the full on trance vibe underpinned by great breaks and rhythms”. 2023 looks set to be a positively great year for Paolo with another 5 new tracks ready to release over the coming months. Watch the promo for Waiting, filmed live at WOMAD Festival, on Paolo’s instagram. “Remember, life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance under the rain”. 

Life is all about connection…The new album “Connection” was released in July 2022. Paolo showcased the album for the first time live with visuals and dancers on the Molly's Bar stage at WOMAD Festival on 29th July 2022 to a rapturous response - the full set is available to watch on Paolo's YouTube channel where you can find a host of video clips and snippets from this incredible set, and a variety from Cyberdog and more. The second showcase happened at Cyberdog in Camden Market on 27th August 2022, arriving in super groovy style driven by the co-founder of the store in the Cyberdog Campervan. Watch the arrival here.

Variety of musical style…Paolo regularly plays his favorite genres of  Techno - Trance and Progressive Tech but his respect for good music allows him to satisfy any genre requirements. Resident at Cyberdog in Camden Market since July 2021, Paolo’s rocking the store with his favorite brand of Techno, Trance and Psy-Tech on a bi-monthly basis - a trip down memory lane for him as he played on their stage every Saturday back in the late 90’s. Previous long-standing residencies saw him lift the roof off with House and Tech House at London rooftop venues from Lockside Bar Camden, The Magic Roundabout (Old St, RIP), to Dalston Roof Park (RIP) and Mick’s Garage for diverse promoters including Pop On Over Parties. 

With over 20 years of experience playing clubs, bars, festivals, private parties, and hosting a variety of online radio shows for himself, Noize Vandals, Juice FM, Housefreqs, FlexFM and many more, Paolo effortlessly connects his like-hearted passion for life with the listener, and energizes an open-minded relationship between the people, the music and himself, co-creating an unforgettable journey of sounds as he uplifts the collective spirit.

Paolo has performed at venues such as the SE1, The Drome, Tyson Street, The Glasshouse, Angel, Ministry Of Sound, The Scala, Camden Palace/Koko, and Alexandra Palace to name a few. He has showcased his skills at events like Plasa Music Conference b2b with Tiesto, on stages at Cyberdog, The Fridge, and alongside DJs from Tidy London & Nukleuz, K90, Signum, Infected Mushroom, Astrix, Chris Liebing, Carl Cox, The Chemical Brothers and many others.

His music knowledge and background experience go beyond the dance floor and cross into community arts. He enjoyed 4 years as freelance Music Director for inclusive community theater company, SAVVY Theatre (Fairfield Halls). He’s also freelanced for Urban Interface Dance UK, SamiArt, Imagine Arts Festival, and Sutton Community Dance.


A professional, competent, and experienced independent producer and DJ, Paolo’s extensive musical background has nurtured his ability to create and deliver soulful sounds and stirring sets which you can hear via: www.linktr.ee/paolotossio. Paolo is producing and releasing new music monthly on his own label, Paolo Tossio Productions, with distribution through Inflyte. He’s an independent artist, working in collaboration with his wife, Samia, an artist and community artist in her own right, who is designing the artwork and contributing lyrics, vocals and merchandising. Their first kiss was on the dance floor at Ministry of Sound in 1996 and they’re still dancing…

I've been closely connected to electronic music (and Depeche Mode) since my youth. To party, relax and recharge my batteries or even as "therapy" 🤪☺️. I can hardly find words to describe the feeling of music, its power, and I can't imagine to live without music.

A big thank you to all the artists who spread out love, hope and joy with their Music and creativity! Without you the world would be much worse…

Sounds curated by @woahnelliee

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
