The Paulette Takeover continues apace from winter into summer every fourth Thursday from 3pm – 5pm (GMT) on Reform Radio. This week, I’ve been a busy little Manchester bee securing some ridiculously AAA-listed talent for my special guest mixes for the coming months. In keeping with my crusade since I started booking guests for my show, their styles are diverse, the roster is inclusive and each artist is a legend in their own right.
Big Weekend vibes. Without pausing for breath, I’m hopping on that train from London over to Leeds for the Flesh In Tension First Birthday party on February 15th 2020. I will be letting my wild side loose for a sleazy, freaky, FILTHY, techno, house and whatever set so be prepared – anything goes!

2020 is looking pretty special already. Save the date. I’ll see you on a dancefloor somewhere soon.
Seems to be the month for compliments. 2020 is looking like it’s going to be a pretty special year.
It’s such a massive boost when someone you love, respect and look up to as a maverick and a game changer says nice things about you. This is what Luke Unabomber had to say that brought the sun out on a very moody day.
Here is my last Reform Radio show of 2019 – ringing out the old by bringing in the new talent and the man called Mr Redley. Happy New Year to you, you special human being.

January’s guest mixer is Juliet Sikora. You see what I just did there? …

Here’s a beautiful after-video that slipped the net from La Discotheque x Bluedot Festival. It was a special full moon, that weekend in July and here’s your proof.
Trump is coming to London in December for the NATO Heads of State summit, and on Tuesday 3rd December the Queen will be hosting a reception for him at Buckingham Palace. R3 Soundsystem will be taking to the streets that evening, to protest against the far-right politics of The Tories, Trump and Farage. RESIST. REJECT. REVOLT.
In Gabriel Szatan’s own words: And it’s a testament to Mancunian hardiness that hundreds brave the arctic conditions to cavort to local hero DJ Paulette doling out fruity house numbers on an alfresco terrace.
Eleven months into the year and there is no sign of letting up for the Paulette Takeover on Reform Radio. For November (Movember) I invited my first male guest in months … Mr James Curd … to take the controls for the first hour and here’s how it went down.
In the words of Gilles Peterson: blast from the past… with @dj_paulette1 and @normanjaymbe back in 98 on the eve of a short lived but tremendous residency we all held together in the Eve Club on Regent Street… the thought of clubbing in the West End now feels like a bygone age

It went live today – Monday September 2nd, 2019 from 12 noon and can be found on @itunes @spotify and @acaststories
Yes it’s that time again – it’s the last Bank Holiday of the year (so we all get a long break just when we needed it), the sun is most definitely OUT and everything and everywhere in Manchester is draped, painted, themed and chimes with the clarion call of Gay Pride. This is not a drill – we’re here, we’re queer, so it would be rude not to get into it 😀
Oh, oh … 😲 it was time to ‘get up offa ya seat and repeat’ for sure!!
This is how I came to slay and rocked the party 🎉 on the Southbank when I closed the @nationaltheatre River Stage on Saturday August 3rd 2019.
