It's time to roll up, roll up, dig deep, bed in and get down with your bad sel.ves on Friday August the 9th, as Paulette Does Techno at the cool AF Psychedelic Discotech session at The Carlton Club (Whalley Range).
Friday July 5th - Festival Square has its big reveal, transforming Albert Square into an oasis of cool when it opens for 16 days of the best live music, great djs, food and drink and the big-hearted, warm, welcoming vibes that Manchester to offer (and has built its historic reputation upon). I am beyond giddy to be an integral part…
Here is the archive / listen for the first time / listen back / listen again / love all the days upload of my Reform Radio Takeover featuring the beyond awesome Queen of Queens DJ COLLEEN 'COSMO' MURPHY. It was originally broadcast live from the Reform Radio studios in the Bonded Warehouse, Manchester on Thursday June 6th, 2019.
Thanks to Stamp The Wax for inviting me to do a #vinylonly #mix and #interview for their wonderful site (in honour and much anticipation of) We Out Here Festival 2019 - it's streaming here on Mixcloud so feel free to like, repost and share.
PLEASE ROTATE YOUR SCREENS ... This was the closing of yesterday’s excellent #MusiciansUnion #WomenInMusicConferenceheld at HOME in Manchester. Panel includes Dame Evelyn Glennie#JessPartridge(PRS) Laura White (Songwriter) #LadyIce (Grime / R n B) and was moderated by Kelly Wood the MU’s Live Performance Official.
I'm excited to announce that I am heading to Brighton on April 25th, 2019 to speak on a panel at the bright and bubbly Brighton Music Conference. I will be part of the 'Electronic Music: A Way Of Life' panel alongside some esteemed and rather wonderful top secret (for now) panellists.
Here is the listen back to my first live show from the brand spanking new Reform Radio studios in Manchester. This month I was honoured with the patronage of a real life MBE - Norman Jay MBE. He's probably the first person with an MBE to be heard on the station and a definite first for my Takeover Shows. Enjoy.
I am always getting stopped in the street by people who were at the Black Coffee party at Mint Lounge in Manchester. I smashed the party that night and this is the closing set that did the damage (I played an equally well received, marvellous and eclectic opening set that sadly wasn't recorded). I topped and tailed the headliners –…
Last week and last playlist from #Homebird at The Lowry via Spotify - it's 2016 - The Next Decade. There's music that I love that has nothing to do with house or techno. And then there's house and techno... and the future? Who knows. Homebird has flown the coop.
INCOMING ... #onair #radio #studio whilst the Reform Radio studio is in uproar and the big move from Old Granada Studios is afoot - you still have your trusty DJ Paulette #takeover to get you through your #Tuesday - and every and any other afternoon.
Sobs. Only six more sleeps to the end of my HOMEBIRD exhibition at The Lowry. How do I feel about this? Well, it's been the most incredible journey from start to finish. I've had the honour of working alongside Michael Simpson (Director of Visual Arts) and Laura Biddle (Galleries Co-ordinator), and the pleasure absolute of collaborating with a top flight design…
Thank you The Lowry for this little clip from the Private View of #Homebird - if you have a free afternoon do go and check it out - we've all poured a lot of love into it.
HOMEBIRD: 2006 - 2016 is about the time when I debuted fully in Paris - I had started a weekly residency at Mix Club in October 2005 so by 2006, every Friday and some Saturdays Paris was mine. My residency at Queen Club started in 2010. I eventually resigned from Queen Club and Radio FG and moved to Ibiza in…
Welcome to HOMEBIRD 4 - the decade is 1996 - 2006. These are my London Mercury / Talkin Loud / Azuli Records / Defected Records / Diesel and Diesel U:Music and Notting Hill Carnival / Miami Winter Music Conference / Billboard years. I think I went clubbing in London four nights a week and I still got into work on…
My love of soaring, spiritual voices, crisp production and great song writing is beautifully illustrated here in HOMEBIRD 1986 - 1996 with a playlist including The Pet Shop Boys, Art of Noise, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Prince, Malcolm McLaren, Nirvana, SNAP, Mariah Carey, Paul Simon, Massive Attack, D*Note, Galliano, Jamiroquai, Sounds of Blackness.
HOMEBIRD 1976 - 1986 features music from Human League, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, Madonna - it was an explosive time for music.
DJ Paulette - Homebird: Edits 03 has a musical heart. This is part one of a six part series that you will find at the centre of the maze. It is live on Spotify as of today and will continue to live when the exhibition is finished. Maybe you will hear something you recognise? Maybe it will spur a memory?…
The Horsemeat Disco Rinse FM Radio Show is 5 this week, so it's 'Happy Birthday and congratulations' to Luke Howard, James Hillard, Jim Stanton and Severino Panzetta. Join them for a marathon 12 hour takeover of Rinse FM and join me there because I'm one of their giddy, excited guests.
Here is my Reform Radio Takeover - June 19th 2018. Cassimm served us all with an impeccable masterclass in 'how to house and tech us all the eff up'. I bow to him all day and every day. And so will you.
Yowsers Wowsers! Big love to one of THE original Sheroes The Black Madonna for dropping Massey & Paulette - Sheroes on her most recent BBC Radio 1 Residency show!
Welcome to 'Sheroes' the final cut. It's a huge musical salute & fist bump to all the 'Sheroes' mentioned here, an answer back and antidote to the female free zone aka Daft Punk's 'Teachers' and a nod and hug to those that we love but couldn't quite fit into the final cut! You are all an inspiration.
Chris Massey (Sprechen Records, Electriks) and I (Princess Paulette) have embarked on our collaborative dj alter ego adventure and this is our first foray into sound for Midnight Riot Radio
Here is my April Takeover of Reform Radio featuring the amazing Brett Gould (mixing for SNATCH! Records). Brett - respect for dragging yourself out of your sick bed to deliver the beastly beauty - it's amped and cranked just the way we like it.
Here's a little taste of the flip side of our acid house squelch and disco experience. 'Violins And Things' is dedicated to a shimmery sunglasses wearing Sebastian Manox, to soaring strings, Meat Free T-Shirts, to Social Services signage and last but not least, all about love for Afield graphic shirtage.
It's nearly time to introduce our little baby to the world. #Sheroes is a little something (the A-Side, B-side is called 'Violins and Things') that I made earlier with Chris Massey (Sprechen Records, Electrik).
If my selection of actual, tried and tested, ‘wake up guaranteed’ alarm calls doesn’t make you leap out of bed, into the shower, leap out of the shower, into your clothes whilst dancing around your bedroom in your knickers and lip-synching into your hairbrush then you need defibrillating now. For real. These are the best wake up tunes ever. I…
I got into the St Patrick's Day spirit by sitting in for Craig Law again on the drive time show on Gaydio. You get lots of housey, techy, uplifting, cheeky, banging, urban new music for your dollar with one or two detours around the 'wtf was that' Shazam-free zone, rabbit hole.
This is what we threw shapes to on Friday January 12th in the Gaydio studio. It's house and tech and jacking and sing along and dope, all kinds of awesome and a bag of chips too.
I am super buzzed to announce that my guests for December's Reform Radio Takeover are Will Automagic and Nita Aviance - collectively known as THE CARRY NATION, they're two of New York's fiercest and finest
My friend, Producer Mark Ovenden, posted this about his ground breaking show 'Loud and Proud' on his Facebook page a while ago. I am honoured to have been chosen to front this show and thankful for having had the experience of working for Radio One.
Gaydio's magnificent Toby Lawrence is away for three weeks in November. Boo. Not to worry, I'm the one who's slipping into Toby's Gucci loafers. Listen out for three consecutive mix shows November 10th, 17th and 24th on Fridays from 8pm - 10pm.
Do not change your URL. This is a Paulette Takeover. Welcome to the award winning (we won Bronze in Best Online Radio Station at The ARIAS) REFORM RADIO, to the wonderful world of Sprechen Records and the multi-talented mind of dj / producer / promoter and Refuge / Electriks head tea boy Chris Massey.
Remember, remember the 4th of November - for great music, raving and getting seriously hot. After the fun of August Bank Holiday's three floor extravaganza, HomoElectric returns for another three floor takeover at Hidden in Manchester.
Here's my latest Reform Radio #takeover featuring a solo / live guest mix from SOUL CLAP'S #Eli aka #Bamboozle . Archived and #streaming direct from the Reform Radio website and now available to stream and download here on Soundcloud.
