Paul Holden is one of Australia’s all-time most successful, versatile and popular DJ’s. He is a veteran of the industry and one of the single biggest contributors to the advancement of dance music and dance events in Australia. He also has the untouched reputation of being at the top of the field through all his different musical phases for the whole of his thirty years as a professional DJ.
For the last thirty-five years Paul has maintained the status as one of Australia’s top touring DJ’s. Playing in every city, most country towns and regional centres, including Tasmania and New Zealand, and doing more shows, more often, than any other Australian DJ on average per year.
Paul’s main musical stylings are Hardhouse, NRG and Rave, but having DJ’d for so long he also specializes in Old-skool Anthems, Happyhard, and has a mammoth collection of original house (Detroit, Chicago and New York), Hip House, Electro, Rap and Club Classics.
Paul has appeared at far too many clubs, events, raves and dance parties to mention but some of the more significant gigs include:
He has worked along side such DJ’s/acts as Tony De Vitt, Carl Cox, Nick Sentience, Grooverider, Chris C, Karim, The Brainbashers, Sasha, Slipmatt, Laurent Garnier, Sashi, Lisa Lashes, Steve Thomas, The Tidy Boys, R.R. Fierce, Ultrasonic, De La Soul, Marmion, Jungle Brothers, Moby, Paul Van Dyke, Fergie, Faithless, even Bananarama and Dead Or Alive (1) and literally hundreds more top dance artists / DJ’s since 1980 when he started his profession.
Paul is always described as having a unique sound – identifiably “Paul Holden”. Always uplifting, pumpy, melodic, infectious and he is someone rare with that special ability to genuinely ‘read’ a crowd and keep them happy and hungry for more. Thousands of engagements and the fact that interstate clubs, parties and special event promoters see fit to bring Paul back to their venues, is testimony to his talents and says far more than any words could be written here. Paul exudes a seemingly endless energy at his performances and pumps up the crowd like no other DJ in Australia.
Paul is also an accomplished producer, song writer and re-mixer. His successes include: “It Feels Great (to Deviate)” which went to No 3 on the UK Hardhouse charts (October 2001) with a re-mix by Karim and his previous release “Honey Buzz” was a club hit in Germany and was included on the massive European CD compilation “Ravermeister Volume 10” which has sold in excess of 160,000 units.
