Paul Mac Biography:
Paul Mac began DJ-ing 14 years ago at the age of 16, starting up as a hip-hop DJ. As with so many other DJs at the time, the pull of house and techno became too strong and he began to use his carefully honed mixing skills in another direction. Paul's earliest experiments in the studio go back to around 1995. After about a year of working, he released his first EP on Josh Brent's "Not Guilty" label which went on to receive support from heavyweight DJs such as Derrick May and Colin Faver. Encouraged by this, Paul then sent out demos which resulted in a series of releases on James Ruskin and Richard Polsen's "Blueprint" sister label "Fracture" and a long standing set-up with "Fragmented Records" which to date has seen 6 singles and an album.

It was also at this time that Paul set up his own label "Stimulus Recordings" which led to other collaborations with artists such as Ben Sims, James Ruskin, Ben Long, Mark Broom, 65D Mavericks, Hardcell, Oscar Mulero and Takaaki Itoh amongst others. It also started Paul's international DJ bookings, leading him to play at various internationally known venues such as "La Real", "Sensor", "Family", "Cocoon", "Bugged Out" and "Metropolis". Since then, Paul has started the "C-Side" label, which is dedicated exclusively to his own DJ-friendly style trax and has recorded for a host of other highly respected labels including "Primary", "Mosaic", "Surface", "Ongaku", "Phont", "Primevil" and many more.

Appearing at various gigs at some of the world’s top techno venues when his busy recording schedule will allow, Paul’s DJ sets have been going down a storm all across the globe. The last few years has seen Paul integrate a third turntable into his already unique hip hop influenced style for a slightly more creative approach, he has also completed a very successful tour of Spain with Ben Sims, following a split release from the pair, only released in Spain.

Last year saw the release of his critically acclaimed “Push came to shove” album on the ever-popular Primate label, this was preceded by a 12” release (“Back and forth”). His current offering on the label (“More over Remix”) comes with remixes from Marco Bailey and Mark Williams. Watch out for a forthcoming artist album on "Ingoma", new releases on "C-Side", "Immigrant" and "Influenced", as well as remixes on "Humanoid", "Stark", "Immigrant", "2999" and "Native Diffusion".
