Here are your set times for this weekend’s festivities at Suffragette City (The Sequel) at The Refuge and La Discotheque at The Boiler Shop in Newcastle. See you on the dance floor.
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.
Today I’m getting busy with it all over the place so here are the times and places that matter. Thank you for all of your support and love through 2018. Party sensibly, be good to yourself and those around you and see you next year for more of the same and even better! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
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.
Blimey O Reilly … Crikey!! This is amazing!! The Massey and Paulette Project brought it to the runway and represented perfectly, closing Supernature’s 3rd Birthday at Underdog in Manchester with this bouncing beauty of a set.
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.
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…
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? Each playlist has been date checked, so historically everything should be in the right place. Exhibition launches at The Lowry on Saturday September 22 and runs until October 14th.
I am very proud to announce that I will be playing for the HOME (Manchester) team this year on the National Theatre’s RIVER STAGE programme. Catch me dj’ing here on…
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.
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.
