Paul Velocity

about

Paul Velocity has been a DJ for 9 solid years,starting back when he was only 15 years old. In the mid- nineties, Paul Velocity was heavily influenced by the sounds of happy hardcore and began to develop a taste for feel good tunes, rolling bass lines and hands-in-the air piano riffs. When it started out for him it was all about the feel good vibe and that is still true in his music today. The hardcore scene began a rapid decline during 1998 and so Paul’s attention turned to the more diverse sounds of UKGarage. UKG was still in its infancy then and was only just starting to get recognition on the underground scene, but with the help of fellow DJs, Paul Velocity helped to push it forwards on RenegadeFM during the late nineties. The Garage scene was a good step towards influencing his style. That feel-good sound that was so sought after matured from happy hardcore pianos and stabs into soulful Garage vocals, intelligent beats and breaks. As the millennium turned, Paul Velocity progressed on to organising events and helped to run the under 18’s event Club Empire in Guildford during 2000 and 2001, a 1500 capacity venue headlining some of the most well known DJ/Producers of the time. Paul has had the privilege to work alongside his hardcore heroes of Slipmatt, Dougal, Sy, Nicky BlackMarket and more. During theses years the UKG scene turned ugly and was getting such a bad reputation that bars and clubs refused to play it in their venue. It was also getting stale and so it was time
