With the upcoming release of Ste Essence - Seek Bromance ft Vicky Jackson on 26th April. Team Fidget caught up with Paul Morrell for a little chat.
*First of all, thank you for contributing to the remix pack. How does it feel now it’s about to be released? You must be excited.* To be honest, it’s a track I have always loved, and I think Vicky Jackson has done a brilliant version of Amanda Wilson’s original vocal. It’s a great track so should do well.
*Tell us a bit about you ?* I am a Coventry based DJ, Producer & Remixer. I have worked with all kinds of amazing DJs / Pop Stars & Producers. I have gigged for almost 20 years and have been supported on BBC Radio 1 by artists including Diplo, Judge Jules and Scott Mills.
What projects do you have going on at the moment?
I have just signed to a new manager and have so much going on at the moment. I am currently working on high profile remixes and have just had tracks signed to some huge international labels. As well as this I have gigs in The UK, Finland and Ibiza planned for the summer.
*If you could have a beer with anyone past or present who would it be and why?* Madonna or Princess Diana – I think they would be amazing women to know, and I would have a fair few questions for them.
*Favorite track past or present* One of my all-time favourite house records is ‘Stringer’ by Riva. It’s just a great driving house record that works well in any set, and has been one of my go to tracks for years.
*What is the most rock n roll thing to have happened to you to date?* Being invited to Boy Georges 50th Birthday Party and hanging out with a load of 1980s celebs. It was pretty cool and I got to meet icons such as Holly Johnson, Jocelyn Brown etc.
*If you could have a super power, what would be?* Invisibility – I think it would be very useful indeed!!
*What do you do to get away from music?* I’m a lecturer, although I’m still heavily involved in music in this role too, so I suppose I’m never really “away” from music.
*What moment do you remember clearest from the last 10 years?* There are so many to be honest. I have been lucky enough to have some extreme highlights in my career. I think the event I held with Paul Oakenfold at The Coventry Skydome Arena in 2007 was up there with the defining moments. It was so stressful & I didn’t sleep for about 3 days before hand.
*Anything else you want to say? Any shouts?* Just that I am looking forward to another great year in music, and hope to be working with the Fidget team throughout 2016.
Update: As we publish, we found out that Paul’s mix of Seek Bromance entered this week’s Gaydio Dance Chart at number 15.
