~ PADDY [United Kingdom] ~

In the ever-diversifying UK house landscape - and more specifically in the iconic city of Manchester - you can find the hometown whizkid PADDY. Although he has been in the game for only 2 years now, he has already made a name for himself thanks to mad releases in the local house and disco scenes. Actually, we cannot count how many times we have danced to his “Costa Rica” tune; a hard-hitting disco gem sampling Santa Esmeralda’s classic track “Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood”. Since 2018, he has been guarantor of a soulful and fearless house with smattering of trippy electro vibes in the UK and Australia. His very own way of doing music unsurprisingly led him warm up the decks and closing stages for house honchos such as XXXY or Mella Dee. He even was lucky enough last year to set the Warehouse Project on fire after Patrick Topping. Besides those early achievements, he also runs United Dance Club, an unconventional emerging record label aiming to feature high-energy club music from fast-rising artists.

Switch on the speakers, amplify the volume and get loose dancing to this transcendent electronic house mix. The good ears among you will probably recognise jams from Jex Opolis, Skatebärd, or Roman Flügel for the enjoyment of everyone!

PADDY’s latest crush: Señor Chugger ‎– One More Tune & One More Pint [Moustache Records]

024 ~ plastic/vibes x PADDY 🇬🇧

Clubber / record collector / DJ. Music is a passion not a business.

Lover of most forms of electronic / club music. My big obsession is 90s house and trance but I also like soul, funk, disco and synth / new wave. Spent lots of time in clubs, especially in the 90s at various venues across the UK and Ibiza. I DJ for fun and the love of music and am sometimes found behind the decks spinning tunes that make people want to dance - small club nights, house parties and making the odd workout mix (see https://soundcloud.com/catherine-health-fitness)

plastic/vibes saw the light of day as your 100% house-oriented - in every shape and form - inspirational podcast channel, which features fast-rising djs from all over the globe.
