My personal thoughts on the male heavy party line ups, gender pay gap and inclusion. Forgive me for thinking that this is 2018 and not 1918. And thanks Elie Taylor for speaking up for women everywhere.

May the 4th, 5th and 6th be with you, as this Bank Holiday, Saturday and Sunday are not for the faint hearted. Join me on the yellow brick disco road for a glittery swish around the Northern Quarter and Deansgate.
So it’s finally been revealed – I’ll be playing for La Discotheque in the VIP Colonnade during the Parklife Weekend – June 9th and 10th in Heaton Park.
We’re lollopping through the year at a fare pace now and hippety hopping into Easter with a brace of parties that should keep your booty jiggling through the Bank Holiday weekend and well into April.
The Rex Club could not resist rending homage to this Manchester scene and welcomes Dave Haslam and Mike Pickering two of the principal figures in the Manchester and in fact the UK house music scene – and along with DJ Paulette welcomes three of the residents of the mythical club where Laurent Garnier made his first moves as a DJ.
As you know it is 100 years since (some) women (ie the ones who OWNED their own properties and had their names on the title deeds) got the vote so this year’s International Women’s Day is coming at you full force. Now it’s time to OWN our womanhood and our EQUAL HUMAN RIGHTS and be courageous when making our voices heard. It’s time to roar. It’s time to come into our power and this week in Manchester there are plenty of opportunities to be inspired, to share and to do just that.
I am massively excited to appear as the very special guest at Supernature on Sunday’s February party. This Sunday (25/02/18), the residents BB, Richie V and James the Cat are stepping in for an absent Rob Jones and I’ll be hoofing it straight from my Sunday Service at Schloss to close the proceedings with some disco, house and tech goodies in an hour of pure, unbridled mayhem.
February is all about high notes, high spots and high rollers as I work my way around the metropolis sprinkling my disco and house fairy dust on the twinkle toes of all who dare to dance.
It’s 2018 – and we’ve already hit the ground running. In this year that celebrates and highlights the centenary of women’s suffrage, I am proud to be featured amongst the 25 STRONG portraits in the ‘Suffragette City’ exhibition that has been curated by media powerhouse and Manchester Digital Music Archive co-founder Alison Surtees and photographed by Elspeth Moore.
I am totally buzzing in that busy bee kind of way, as I will be joining my Manchester family at Homoelectric at Hidden on Saturday January 27th for three floors of bacchanalian hedonism disguised as sedate clubbing.
Starting on Friday 5th of January (yes this Friday as in today if you are reading this in real time) from I will be jumping into Craig Law’s now rather well worn in breeches to deliver four weekly shows. For two hours, once every week, you can expect to hear my usual assortment of the best in jacking house jump-up, deep house decimators and plenty of tech house treats.
So here we are and here we go again. It’s December. Yay. Which means we’re in the countdown to Christmas and New Year – double yay! 2017 has been like a musical drive-by that has had me holding you hostage on many a dance floor and you’ll be pleased to know that December continues in this tradition.
October / November. It’s the season of freaky funk and disco sparklers so here’s how and where you can plot your course through the season of changing colours, falling leaves and that seductive pull of bouncing basements and boogie bangers.
From the 6th & 7th October your Refuge weekends will now have a name. It’s time to discover ‘Slave To The Rhythm’, ‘The Ambassador’s Retreat’ and ‘Love Is The Message’
It’s time for me and the always effervescent Martin Cooper to stand in whilst Chris and Emma are away, to sprinkle fairy dust in your eyes and bring you a Gaydio Breakfast Show that snaps, crackles and pops. Broadcasting live13/10/17 from 7am till 10am. Looking forward to entertaining you.
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.
The end of August is upon us. Pretty soon we will all turn to disco dust. So get up, forget the past, go outside and have a blast… There’s a big weekend of parties coming to Manchester and everyone’s invited.
Hey hey hey – following some mind bendingly good takeovers from Mennie (Exploited), Bontan, Doorly, Juliet Sikora and Leftwing and Kody, I’m ratcheting the pressure up a few more notches again with some fresh and funky talent from home and abroad for the next four months too!. Expect everything from disco to tech house and techno from Mighty Mouse, Soul Clap, Chris Massey and Black Girl / White Girl. Tune in and join the party…
Join us for 3 days & 3 nights over the August bank holiday for the Come As You Are Weekender 2017!
A carefully curated gathering of outside street parties, DJs, food, drink, music, dancing, performance by House Of Decay, basement club parties & more as we celebrate Mardi Gras in Manchester.
Pride gets all Sunday on your ass with our glorious Handsome Party at Underdog on Sunday 27th of August. Dave Kendrick and Jamie Bull are crowning our right royal affair and I will be spreading the love like diamonds all over the goddamned place. Just like I do in this here mix.
My lovely boss, Dan (Pen and Pencil) is launching a disco club night called Lost In Music at Underdog (New Wakefield Street) here in Manchester, this one of a few in the pipeline and it’s happening on Friday July 28th.
Everybody down to Park Farm, Compton Verney in Warwickshire! Spend next weekend with us at the Also Festival and enjoy over 50 TED-style talks, our five stages packed with incredible music, comedy and fascinating masterclasses and experience our many bars and restaurants dotted around 50 acres of Capability Brown landscaped parkland.
I’m on air again tonight 16/06 on Gaydio, filling in for Jonesy and Toby Lawrence. It’s a two hour show and I’m packing the tunes in like it’s a two week holiday. Don’t be a stranger.
Here is the listen back for the Jonesy and Toby Lawrence show I covered on Gaydio – Friday June 2nd 2017. It bounces beautifully as all new babies do, but then I’m biased because she’s mine.
I’m on airat Gaydio this Friday 2nd of June from 8pm – 10pm (GMT) filling in for Jonesy and Toby Lawrence. Expect the usual big jacking, deep and tech house shenanigans from yours truly.
Welcome to the Soul Clap Summer Series at XOYO, London. As the Boston-bred duo relocate to London-town for a month, they invite along a string of seminal acts to help soundtrack each party:
For week 2, XOYO regular and Playboy Mansion maestro, Dimitri from Paris is joined by legends Ashely Beedle and Paulette to bring us special 90’s sets and celebrate the return of YoYoYo 90’s Jam to London on Saturday 10th June.
Join us on May Bank Holiday for a specially curated gathering of all things food, drink, music and dancing whch will see the 10,000sq foot Refuge space and outside street evolve over 4 days to house a New York loft style party in the a basement, a proper old pub knees-up, an all-day Saturday courtyard Croatian gathering and a Sunday Balearic soiree reminiscent of the original spirit of the White Isle.
As if by magic, I will be back in the Gaydio Presenters’ Hotseat through April, May and into June, covering for Jonesy and Toby whilst they’re off gallivanting elsewhere. Put these four dates in your diary!!
Follow the White Rabbit and The Easter Bunny and enjoy hopping across Manchester for some lovely Easter party vibes. Find me in Deansgate or The Northern Quarter. But when????
I am pleased as Mr and Mrs Punch to announce that I will be appearing again this year at Manchester Pride’s Big Weekend (Class of 2017 no less). Find me in the Gaydio Dance Arena. And did anyone say Faithless? Ben Pearce? Simian Mobile Disco?
☘️☘️☘️🌈🌈🌈 Happy and funky #StPatricksDay to one and all. Your entertainment tonight comes courtesy of #AndreaTrout and me tonight at Cottonopolis.
Created to promote The Lost Disco Festival being held in Tisno, Croatia from August 17-21, our 1st mixtape comes from a full Manchester based (but worldwide known) DJ Paulette who explains fully what into her selections right here:
“I tried to telescope the best parts of a 24 hour bender into an hour mix.” I said …
‘Wahey! It’s a funk, soul, boogie, deep-disco-tech-house bonanza’ you said.
We are back for 2017. Sunday’s just got spiritual with Albert’s Schloss’ weekly ‘Sunday Service’. It’s a heady mix of the best disco, funk and soul music with a love injection of a live gospel choir, brunch and roast dinner on the menu and Paulette and Will Tramp on the decks from midday until 2am. Come early – doors open and 10am we close at 2am and we are full every week. Eat. Drink. Get Lifted. Entry is free. Roast is available until 10pm.
We’re back in Manchester on December 3rd with a bag full of pumpin’ house from vintage US to angular tech. Forget the winter chill, you’ll be sweating like an icecube in Riyadh once these beats have finished with you. It’s also my birthday. And you know what that means.

I will be digging into the favourite parts of my personal collection so expect plenty of the soul, funk and disco music that has influenced me along with the pick of today’s music that is turning me on. The Jocks N Nerds editor Marcus Agerman Ross will be warming things up from 7pm with his strictly vinyl-only selection.
