Hey my fellow Retro heads sorry i haven't been on my shout section for a while my work schedule has been absolutely manic!

Everywhere the Retro Metro visits these days is just amazing particularly in Pacha Ibiza; in both the global room on Thursday and the main room on Sundays- you really must try and get over there-it's rocking as is club XES/ Bora Bora in Magalluf.

There is a HUGE demand for that remake of The Red Hot Chilli Peppers Tune ' Otherside' version that me and Rox have done - the big names in Ibiza have been dropping it and it's exploding on most Pacha nights. There are no plans to release this beauty but you can hear it on both my My Space and the Retro My Space pages.

Big and heavy this week- me and Ben are off to Magalluf on Tuesday- over to Ibiza @ Pacha on Thursday, Pure in Manchester on Friday, Tall Trees on Saturday and i'm back in Pacha for the huge Pacha classics / fetish event on Sunday.

Also dont forget to come and meet me at Ibiza pre parties for Retro @ Savannah on Thursday just after sundown, and at Mambo on Sunday. They are just so cool!

Phew- i need a jet- anyone got one to lend me ?????????????

It's you guys that get me through this hectic schedule that i've taken on- the passion that you have for Retro and Lovefunky sound gives me the energy and love to keep movin on.

Please keep it coming,

Luv ya's all.

I was born in Aberdeen Scotland on 5 August 1957, flitted to Burnley Lancashire when I was thirteen.

I am a fully qualified Graphic designer, hence the letters following my name Paul Taylor ASTD MSIAD.

My love for dance music came from the joys of Northern soul, the town of Wigan the centre of the world for that sound and it brought ' the soul out in me' and I thank the DJ's of that era for that. It was Northern Soul and the Tamla Motown sound that taught me how to love dance and enjoy life and it was at that time I realised I was born to play.

My DJ career started in 1974 and my first gig was at a new venue in Burnley called Angels', it all started on a Wednesday night during the summer. I knew a DJ there at that time and our love of the new wave of the jazz funk sound brought us together to kick start a midweek gig and it turned into a huge success. We were attracting people from all parts of the UK there was an underground dance scene developing and people were willing to travel for it- even during the week!!

Paul Taylor the DJ was born and I never looked back…….. The next 20 years I found myself juggling my DJ career with my graphic design profession but deep down I knew that music was always going to be the winner for me.

Angel's became my life; I became the resident DJ and had to play a vast array of dance music working five nights a week this taught me to have an open mind about all forms of music. In the late 80's I was given the opportunity to own Angels and launched myself into the stressful world of club ownership, there were more up's than down's and I'm proud to be apart of the history surrounding that legendary venue.

Angel's became a home for the big name DJ's of their day- they all played there Pete Tong, Cox, Oakenfold Sasha and the rest. I remained the resident and the promoter until the council pulled down the scared venue to build a shopping centre in 1996.

By this time the sacred sound of Angels had transformed into a celebration of house music and we re-named it 'Retro' we were packing them in other venues in the North West of England and the ' Retro' sound then created its own story.

During my DJ career I have had the privilege of working alongside some great artists and music labels as a dream to create music as well as play it.

Here's my discography; Artist and productions:
