Stealthily and as time went by, Pablo De Mattei grew up in the scene of
Buenos Aires following his influences in terms of Jazz and Soul to access,
from there, his special interest in electronic music. His devotion for new
sounds relates him to House since 1988, when he made it to his first
residency at one of them pubs which filled the Bollini alley. Since then,
he began transiting the local circuit that during the following five years
would lead him to hobnob with the top DJs of the moment.
In 1999 Paul arrived at the decks of the now disappeared underground club
Morocco and, simultaneously, he began working at the high-quality night
Clubland(Saturdays@Pacha Buenos Aires). On a Deep, Tribal-House key, he
there shared the booth with heralds of the international outlook of the
size of Clive Henry (Peace Division), Layo Bushwacka!, Nick Warren, Dave
Reaman, John Graham and Sander Kleinenberg among others. Furthermore, the
acceptance and flair of his sets -which transport the dance-floor through
dark and intense paths- led him to be a feature in all the editionsof the
Creamfields BA festival.
On the alert for the new moves of his mentors -the acclaimed John Digweed
and Jimmy van M; Hernan Cattaneo and Carlos Alfonsin, on a more approximate
level- Paul began exploring the production field in the beginning of 2003.
Working alongside the musician Mercurio, he made his own tracks and a
bootleg of the song Ultraviolet by U2 which went around the world in the
trays of the busiest DJs. In fact, he was part, with Buey and Federico
Stuart, of the group BPS. Many remixes came out of this creative society
which reached the audience through Metrodance, the local electronic music
number one shot. Moreover, the version of Clocks by Coldplay arose the
interest of Paul Oakenfold in the trio.
Currently, Paul combines his newly found production career -he works
individually on a remix of the duet Big Head, for Sinister records- with
his Djing one, with his appearances at Clubland and as a member of the
staff of Metrodance 95.1 FM.
