Mini bio
How it started.
Growing up in East Berlin, Paul discovered music through West Berlin radio. He recorded what he heard and made mixtapes. In a macProVideo interview, he recalled that a friend passed one of those tapes to a Berlin promoter, leading to his first booking.
Finding his sound.
His 1993 remix of Humate’s “Love Stimulation” helped bring him attention. “For An Angel” first appeared on his 1994 debut album, 45 RPM. Its 1998 E-Werk reworking became his signature track, named for the Berlin club where he had been a resident DJ.
A lasting connection.
Reflections brought a Grammy nomination in 2005, and DJ Mag readers voted him their number-one DJ in both 2005 and 2006. He continues to share music through VANDIT, VONYC Sessions and SHINE events. His 2025 album This World Is Ours explores technology and human connection; in 2026, he introduced Aurien through the gentler sounds of “Empatia.”
