:BIOGRAPHY:
------------------
The last five years has seen the UK house music scene storm theworld like never before, with a vanguard of talented new DJs and producers whohave welded the traditional sound with techno, progressive, trance and electroinfluences in explosive fashion. Their time is now, and Paul Thomas is amongstthis new wave’s brightest stars.
Paul’s big break was landing a residency at Birmingham’s Godkitchenand their globally-syndicated GlobalGathering festivals half a decade back; adream foundation for any aspiring DJ to build their career on. From here on hisdestiny as a DJ was inevitable, with global tours and critically-acclaimedcompilations for the brand and for Toolroom Records’ burgenoning Leaders Of TheNew School imprint all soon in the bag.
While many successful jocks may have been content to rest ontheir laurels and perhaps release the occasional track, Thomas has been bothprolific and hugely consistent over the past few years, establishing himself asa serious production force who blends those aforementioned styles to epiceffect. His focus is squarely on the big room and on bringing his differentinfluences together within one track, perfectly representing the differentgenres that are at the core of the brand that helped to bring him toprominence.
“I put a lot of the success down to the productions. It took mequite a while to find my sound, and I would say I've only done so in the pastyear or so. Since then, with the success of tracks like 'Tomorrow' &'Ultraviolet', more and more doors have opened. Now I'm remixing the likes ofGareth Emery, Sander van Doorn and Paul Oakenfold - artists I would never havebeen involved with if it wasn't for the tracks I've been making.”
This is made all the more clear when you take a look at theimpressive and varied list of labels he’s had track signed to: Steve Angello’sSIZE Records, Positiva, Data, Toolroom Records, Doorn Records, Sander Kleinenberg’sLittle Mountain Recordings, Ultra, Baroque Records, Gareth Emery’s Garuda,Hotfingers, Spinnin’ Records, 303lovers...the list goes on and on. His goldenremix touch has been requested for releases by legends like Basement Jaxx,Chicane, Underworld, Josh Wink, D Ramirez & Mark Knight, Sebastien Leger& Deadmau5, and he’s collaborated with Knight, Funkagenda, Jerome Isma-Aeand Manuel De La Mare amongst others.
He’s firmly established himself as a leading name in the widersphere of house music across the globe thanks to all this, and the small matterof 9 separate Beatport genre Top 10 successes. His Ultraviolet track inToolroom hit the No.1 spot in the Progressive Chart (as did other singlesTomorrow and Sunrise), and No. 5 on the overall sales chart, while remixes andcollaborations with Sander Van Doorn, Funkagenda, Gareth Emery, Weekend Heroes& Ticon, Serge Devant, Jerome Isma-Ae, Kim Fai and Manuel De La Mare areall upcoming.
“I guess I have gone back to my melodic roots over the past 12months, making tracks with melodies and big chords, while keeping the beats andbass quite techy and rolling. It seems to have worked well, as I have a lot ofcross-genre support, from Van Dyk, Sander van Doorn and Gareth Emery, to MarkKnight, Funkagenda and Steve Angello. But generally I'm just making tracks thatI love and that fit into my sets.”
With continual touring across the world with GlobalGathering anda relentless studio diary to attend to, his name continues to rise up the ranksof the international dance music scene. His wide-appealing sound and die-hardwork ethic will ensure that his name is one you’ll be hearing even more of overthe next few years.
