I have taken a little break from planning my next DJ PAULETTE PRESENTS ACCALIBERATION show for Worldwide FM to give you a run down of show dates for the coming months. Save the dates and tune in on http://www.worldwidefm.net. I’ve got some belting themes for shows bubbling in my head already.

DJ Mag are streaming Block 9’s Warehouse Party. Did that just kick you in the feels? 🥰🥰🥰
Welcome to my interview for ‘The Edit’. It’s all about titanium ceilings, purple sequins and no requests in this podcast with Loreal Blackett. Get into it.
Great news. Even though we’re still in lockdown, I am over the moon to tell you that I am still making my debut for NYC Downlow at Glastonbury Festival this year. Perfectly socially distanced of course.
RSVP to get on the list to Gilles Peterson's Club Unity, which opens its doors to all this Saturday from 2pm.

In response to the Music Industry’s Black Out Tuesday and Black Lives Matter, Gilles Peterson programme for Stay Home, Rave Safe on 6Music and his Saturday session became CLUB UNITY – a space for reflection, education and celebration through black music. You can listen here for the next 20 days.
It’s been an intense few weeks finding black people and people of colour landed squarely in the middle of another pandemic – racism. Something has to give. Something has to change. When conversation fails me, I turn to poetry. Here’s a poem I wrote earlier about some of my experiences – it’s not finished yet. I will continue to tweak until it’s right.
My June Isolation Takeover for Reform Radio jumped to the inimitable sound of Gina Breeze – one of my favourite dj / producers and a super friend too. I’m in for the second half to jack and bounce you all the way to your peak end. Enjoy. And don’t forget to show us some love in the hearts and reposts section or subscribe to my Select for exclusive content.
Accaliberation is where I let my nosey alter ego explore my obsession with and love of the voice and vocals. May’s theme is ‘Deep House’ – so grab a mic or a hair brush, your song sheet and your favourite patch of home dance floor for two hours of total accaliberation.
Here is my Reform Takeover for the merry month of May featuring the awesome king of all things eclectic, Mr Luke Unabomber. It’s a belter.
