Born December 16th, 1971 in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul grew up
in communist East Berlin. Prior to Germany's reunification, he at least had
an early window to the capitalist world via the cross-border airwaves.
"We were able to see Westside - TV and listen to western radio stations. We
recorded the music and replayed it at our parties, because in the east we
didn't have something like a club culture. In those days I listened to the
radio show of Monika Dietl. I was really captivated by the music of 'The
Smiths' and 'New Order'. It (the music) was very strong and emotional...
Then in 1989, as the wall finally came down, a broad Club culture sprung up
throughout all of Berlin. "Mainly they played that hard Detroit - Techno. I
liked this energetic spirit, but something was missing. I (was looking out)
for something else."

That search would never leave him. Stemming from two crusty old turntables,
the first remix tapes of his musical ideas were created. And only a bit
later, in March 1991, his unique style of dance music was played for the
very first time to the public at the embryonic Berlin club "Tresor".

Around this same period, Paul also started making his own original
compositions. His first production "Perfect Day", put together with Cosmic
Baby as "Visions of Shiva", was released in 1992. "I was pleased like a
little child, holding my own very first record in my hands!,... Paul
remembers. "Perfect Day" was published by the Berlin underground label
'MFS', and launched a promising career, which aimed without pause or
hesitation for the top !

In 1993 Paul created the club hit of the year with his remix of Humate's
"Love Stimulation". The following year, his first album "45 RPM" was
recorded, while he was also regularly spinning sets at the legendary club
'E - Werk'.

Over the next few years Paul garnered further respect by remixing tracks of
many renowned artists such as Inspiral Carpets, Sven Väth, Curve and New
Order. This was of course until the release of his second album, "Seven
Ways", which firmly established him as one of the world's truly great
electronic artists.

'Seven Ways' unleashed a frenzy of national and international interviews,
and many globe-roaming DJ - sets as well, as Paul was catapulted into the
Top 100 - Salecharts. Even the English music media, typically protective of
their own homespun DJ artists, unanimously praised the record. Readers of
"DJ Magazine voted 'Seven Ways' as the Number 1 album of the year.

Bellowing singles such as "Beautiful Place", "Forbidden Fruit" and "Words",
featuring remixes of Salt Tank, Quattara and Curve, fully secured him a
place as a major player in the British and European dancecharts.

Before the club closed, Paul became an institution at Berlin's 'E - Werk',
regularly spinning new musical magic, with guest appearances by fellow
superstar DJ's Nick Warren, BT, Dave Seaman and Sasha.

In 1998 his first album "45 RPM" was released in the UK, and the new remix
of the single "For an Angel" attacked the worldwide dancefloors. The album
buzzed for two weeks at number 1 in England and four weeks at number 1 in
the German dancecharts, and also achieved major postings in the American,
Australian, Dutch, Belgian and Scandinavian dancecharts.

However, Paul's core sentiments are not as a producer, to be shuttered away
in some stealthy studio, but as a performing DJ very willing to be seen,
and with a deep desire to have contact with his audience, whether it be 500
people or 1.5 million...

"As I began my career as a DJ I discovered that there is a really deep
communication between DJ and people. I learned to observe the different
vibrations, learned how to move the crowd, and how to create atmosphere."
Paul remembers, "because while spinning, an interaction takes place between
the people and me. I never come into a club and spin just a ready set. It
is also a very new experience for me every time, and nobody knows in
advance how it will end."

Now he creates that experience regularly, as resident - DJ in New York's
"Twilo" club, at the acclaimed "Gatecrasher" in Sheffield, and in his
hometown of Berlin.

In 1999 Paul was divorced from his former label 'MFS' and started up,
together with his team, the new label "Vandit" Records. This label presents
both Paul's releases, as well as other new and innovative dance/DJ artists.

In England, 'Deviant' - Records are taking care of Paul's creative output,
whose brainstorm was the 1998 Triple - CD "Vorsprung Dyk Technik".
Combining 33 tracks, it is the most exhaustive collection of Paul's remixes
to date, containing classics like Humate's "Love Stimulation" and Joe T.
Vanelli's "Playing with the Voice in Germany" as well as Binary Finary's
clubhit "1998" and Paul's own chart single "For an Angel". A year after its
release in Nov 1999, "Vorsprung Dyk Technik" was officially declared
"Silver" with over 60,000 UK sales, a very rare feat indeed for a Triple -
CD.

Today Paul's touring diary is incredibly hectic with regular globetrotting
stops at major venues in London, Tel Aviv, Mexico, New York and Singapore.
Between all that, Berlin is always there and waiting -- if not for the
interviews and local club dates, then for looking after his own label,
recording studio and radio show (not to mention his friends and family as
well!).

"It isn't the success or which place I take in the salecharts that is
important for me. (What's) most important are the people, the family,
friends, ..and everyone, (especially) where I've changed something. I am
really pleased when someone tells me: "Hey, by hearing your song something
changed in my life!" Paul says, "I've never made music for being trendy or
making the fat money. I make music for myself, it (the music) comes
directly from my stomach, my music springs from an intense feeling. And
every track has its own little story..."

We are all wishing you lots of pleasure while listening or dancing to
Paul's music, and you'll definitely be hearing more from him on this
website in the near future !

Just listen, enjoy and be inspired !
