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.

New home. New shiny studio. New day. New show time. Welcome to the all new #PauletteTakeover on Reform Radio now with added peak end power as you tune in on…
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 – Black Coffee – and Themba on May 6th 2018. The mix was a front page, featured ‘Mix Of The Month’ on the Evermix site (when they featured DJ mixes) and I was super proud of that.
Hello and Welcome.
THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT – THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO GO ANYWHERE AT ALL OTHER THAN SIT IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE LINK BELOW…

THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR #HOMEBIRD: EDIT03 exhibition is here.
Whoever decided that November was a good month to start thinking about hibernating must have been living in a cave. Oh they were. OK that explains it. We’re not though – and guess what – there is no time like the present to fill your social diary with shenanigans a plenty.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, MCR:Live caught up with their favourite person DJ Paulette to chat through her own musical heroes and the ways in which Black music & culture has helped to shape Manchester.
The leaves are fast falling, the heating is on and everyone is in full duvet – +1, Iplayer / Netflix / Amazon Prime bingernation mode. Yet hark? Who discos there? I hear twigs snap underfoot and a crisp, rustling of fresh dance floors deep in the City Centre forest. Follow the footprints to YES, Underdog and Albert’s Schloss …
Welcome to PAULETTE MAKES YOU MOVE a new, free, monthly Friday party at YES (Mcr) that rocks the house, tech and techno that Jill built because she knew how to Jack.
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…
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 March 2013. By 2014 I was had a weekly mix show on Virgin Radio in France – I played a 30%/70% mix of playlist and free choice so yes to Disclosure and yes to Rudimental and yes to Dennis Ferrer and yes to Duke Dumont and yes to Sam Smith and yes to London Grammar. Ibiza was about Eden, Privilege, Space, Pacha, Ibiza Rocks and Pikes.
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 time the next morning. I dj’ed internationally when time allowed and I a&r / spotted then signed Afro Medusa Pasilda. I was also responsible for the press campaign that took Roni Size and Reprazent to the Mercury Music Prize and The Brits.
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.
If you missed the show (were stuck in traffic / cooking your tea / eating the dog’s homework) when my guest mix went out live on Horsemeat Disco’s Rinse FM takeover on Saturday August 4th, fret not for here it is. All official and all straight from the Rinse FM Soundcloud page.
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.
My Homebird: Edit 03 exhibition just made the cover of The Lowry Contemporary Autumn18 brochure. Thank you to all my contributors – near and far – you know who you are.
Here’s ‘Homecoming’ a short film supporting my cover feature by Matt T and Intern Magazine in association with Ace and Tate. I talk about music, family, fashion and Manchester. Promoting the launch party at the new Ace and Tate store in Manchester (02/08/2018) and the arrival of the new issue (limited edition run) of Intern magazine. Quick watch. Big heart. Proper read. Loads of love.
Tying in nicely with the release of our debut EP on Black Riot Records, Chris Massey & DJ Paulette will be taking over the controls at MCR Live for 2 hours this Thursday with a kind of breakfast/not breakfast show!
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).
Proud to be included in this ‘Musical Heroines’ article that ran in City Life, Manchester on Friday February 23rd.
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.
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 know. I use them every week.”
