I'm Paul the Editor of DJWORX. I took over from Mark at the beginning of 2024 to use my experience in my career and as a DJ to rebuild this iconic brand.I'm a DJ, podcaster and radio veteran, with a background in technology publishing. My speciality is early to mid 90s house and harder beats, I also play upfront house and techno. I'm a DJ tutor and also teach DJing in schools as well as running DJWORX.I've presented shows on commercial, pirate and DAB radio since 1991 and for the last 5 years on Eruption Radio, one of London's original pirates. Tune in - Weds from Midday-2pm GMT via eruptionradio.uk, DAB, smart speaker, app, Twitch/Mixcloud.Over the years I've played at clubs and festivals across the country, and I've never been busier than I was in 2024. I selectively choose to play at some corporate events and private parties as an open format DJ as well, as I love the challenge of having to make all ages dance. I can often be found beatgridding and fiddling about with metadata as well as playing with the latest DJ tech.
