Paul Sparkes - host of global dance selection show on red bull music academy radio
DEEP HOUSE LOUNGE - EXCLUSIVE DEEP HOUSE MUSIC PODCAST - A podcast by Bryon Stout: deep house music guru
A DJ since 1995, Paul has headlined gigs at top clubs globally for the last ten years. He is resident DJ and promoter of Floorplay, a monthly night at the glamorous Club NL in Amsterdam, bringing in the likes of Danny Howells and Omid 16B to perform. He is also much in demand to perform at music conferences, festivals, fashion shows and numerous beach parties. As a producer he has recorded on some of the world’s top house labels including Sexonwax, Baroque, Silver Planet and Ready Mix.
He mixed the 11 Years Of Silver Planet mix album in 2008, and has signed his first single entitled Landguard (co-produced with Edgar Duijff) to Ferry Corsten’s Aleph Records. Weekender and Waveheat to Ferry Corsten label. Melodic hit Anorok followed on NYC’s Alter Image Recordings, after which Paul took a fresh direction. Teaming up with Dave Brickwood, 2012 sees productions such as Release Me Now and Moderate signed to UK label Baroque, Stay Away scheduled for release on Babylon and Paul went on to sign a full EP to Omid 16’s SexOnWax Recordings. Cuba is set for release on Strom after having received support from the key jocks, and Paul has even had time to turn in three hot remixes, one of the David Kassi track Moonglow, one for Ban-Off Music and one for Flappers Records, both based in Italy. Ban-Off Music is also releasing ‘Heaven and Earth’ and ‘Maniac’, with ‘Moscow Flight’ getting a full release on Flappers Records.
Paul has a long history of radio and for three years presented 365LiveRadio. The two-hour Friday night show was syndicated across the world by ID&T’s Dance Tunes and featured live mixes and exclusive interviews with the top DJs and producers. Paul also hosted Global Dance Selection on Red Bull Music Academy for a year before studio commitments and a hectic travel schedule meant he decided to record a monthly podcast on the move to share his music with his audience.
This hard-working British DJ has incredibly played in the USA, Israel, Sweden, Germany, Dubai, Russia, Bahrain, Finland and Belgium and his native UK in recent years. He has rocked tours of America from Conneticut to Cayman Islands, New Haven to New York, and Boston, Seattle, LA, Portland and Tampa. Unforgettable clubnights in Tel Aviv, wild beach party in Egypt (in 40 degree heat), reputable music conferences such London Calling, Stockholm Electronica and Amsterdam Dance Event, boat parties in Dublin, an intimate back street club in Edinburgh, sell-out gigs in Honululu during Mardi Gras, DJing barefoot on the sand in Grand Cayman and many more experiences keep this focussed DJ at the top of his game in 2012.
