Born and raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, 28yr old DJ and producer Paul Lancaster was first introduced to the sounds of acid house and techno by local pirate radio station Wear FM in the early 90s.

Inspired by the DJ mix tapes of Carl Cox that he heard at school, Paul quickly embraced the local underground rave scene and began honing his own mixing skills with the techno and breakbeat he discovered at Bass Generator Records and the deep house grooves of Trax (Flying Records) in Newcastle.

Following a move to Leeds, Paul drew further influence from the diverse mixture of funky vocal house and US garage at club nights such as Up Yer Ronson, Back 2 Basics and Hard Times along with the techno and breakbeat of the Orbit and Warehouse. After a short spell DJing for fashion shows and promoting his own club nights in Leeds, Paul returned to Newcastle with a new found confidence as a DJ and a burning desire to break through as a producer.

Over the next few years Paul took his first tentative steps towards production, remixing a number of house classics for his own DJ use and his first full production in the form of debut single 'Bad Girl' that was signed to Climax Recordings in Newcastle.

In 2001, Paul began working with Climax as a freelance A&R scout, DJ and producer and during this period a number of his productions and remixes were signed to the label including 'The Gringo Trail' by Julio G. Soon after, 'Don't Stop Burning' was signed by Cass (Cass & Slide) to his new Sabotage Systems label and also included on the compilation album '8'.

Since then, a steady stream of productions and remixes have appeared on labels including Red Ant, Sabotage Systems, CP Recordings, Climax Recordings, Perc Trax, Confi-Dance, Blu Room Records and Ktchenware Records. In September 2004, Paul’s club mix of R&B / Pop group The Sirens received rave reviews in the national press and charted just outside the UK Top 40 (ouch!) whilst his remix of 'Leathersex' by the Thrill Kill Kult on Red Ant reached no.7 in the US Balance Chart a month later. Many more productions and remixes are lined up for 2005 along with an increasingly busy DJ schedule.

In 2003, Paul started promoting his own Fragile parties in Newcastle, both as an outlet for his own music and as a way to showcase some of the best underground DJs and producers in the world today including Tyler Stadius, Cass, Mara, Steve Gerrard and Jonathan Lisle to name but a few.

With an eclectic mix of musical styles, Paul’s productions have received strong support from some of the world's best DJs including John Digweed, Sander Kleinenberg, Cass, Danny Howells, James Zabiela, Tyler Stadius, Dave Mothersole, Pete Bones & Hernan Cattaneo, whilst his reputation as a versatile DJ mixing the very best in house, progressive, tech-house and breaks has led to recent gigs throughout the UK and in Rome, Malta, South Korea, Sacramento, Poland and Hungary.

During the day Paul also works for Generator North East, a popular music development agency based in Newcastle, offering free training, advice and support to anyone making new and unsigned music across the UK.
