P. Browse

Paul Browse's formal introduction to music began in Sheffield, his place of birth, under the private tuition of the controversial Dr. Edward Williams. Dr. Williams' unorthodox theories, teaching methods and systematic self abuse established a certain mental attitude in Browse that would prove invaluable in the years to come.

Browse was a member of Sheffield band The Corridor before, in May 1981, joining Clock DVA and remained a constant member until relocating to Berlin in 1989.

His final act as a DVAtionist is documented on the album "Buried Dreams".

Since his arrival in Berlin, Browse has co-founded a series of projects, prior to Visions Of Excess, the most notable are: System 01 and Effective Force (with Johnny Klimek), 030 and Holy Language (with Dr. Motte) and Sub-D (with 3 Phase).

His first project in Berlin, Diamond Bullet formally initiated the genre "trance" and instantly catapulted the label MFS to being the supreme underground dance music label worldwide. Further techno releases with Paul's unique sound appeared on MFS and Tresor in the early 90s that helped Berlin quickly claim its place on the world stage.
