Tall Paul - Rock Da House (1994)

'Tall' Paul Newman practically grew up in Turnmills, the legendary nightclub in Farringdon famed for swinger parties in the '80s, a mind frying laser, an unfortunate shooting in the '90s and some of the best club nights the UK has ever seen. The club was the first to obtain a 24 hour dance licence in the UK, spawning the move to all night clubbing in the 1990s. It was the home to Trade, the wildest after hours London's ever seen, which started at 4am and kicked out at lunchtime Sunday. Paul started to play in the Turnmills thanks to his father, who bought this club in 1985 and soon showed everybody what he was able to do with 2 vinyls in the after-sessions. Since then, he hasn't stopped: a residency in Zap, London's Gardening Club... and many other. In fact, by now he has played in the main locations of USA, Canada, Australia, Brasil or Ibiza.
In the studio Paul published his very first album in '92, a white label called 'Love Rush', which has re-edited one year later by then happening label Hooj Choons. With Red Jerry, foundator of the label, he created 'Rock Da House'.
As a producer, he worked on Camisra's 'Let Me Show You' and became a bit of a remix icon: Duran Duran, Nalin & Kane, Bizarre Inc, Dina Carroll, New Order, Erasure, Keane, The Killers, K-Klass, East 17 and Blondie were only a few names. As it was a natural evoltion, he started his own label - Duty Free - which, amongst many others publishes his own tracks, as well as Robbie Rivera's.
He won the much coveted Muzik DJ of the year and consistently appears in the DJ Magazine 100 poll year after year since the poll's beginning in 1997 and BPM magazine readers in 2006 voted Paul 8th in America's most Favourite DJ poll.
