Lectures & Masterclasses

Paul has lectured to students at leading FE/HE colleges and Music Academies. His ‘anatomy of a remix’ sessions have been received enthusiastically there, plus at pro-DJ conferences & events.

In the over-populated and often misleading world of online ‘tutorials’, Paul’s approach to educating and informing live audiences at learning establishments and pro-DJ events, is to focus on the ‘ethos’ and ‘raison d’être‘ of a remix and its component audio parts. His engaging sessions focus on moments, arrangements and ‘the journey’ - why something was done, the inspiration to create it and how certain things interelate musically, dynamically and emotionally within the track. Paul translates this eloquently, speaking to both technical, non-technical and ‘general interest’ viewers simultaneously!

As first and foremost a DJ but also a DJ magazine editor, I hear a lot of brilliant remixes every week. Paul’s work is at the very top of the tree - each release is clearly stamped with his genuine talent as a musician.
