Paul Master

DJ Paul Master is renowned for his unique style of funk and jazz break-beat that’s equally as upbeat as his home in Sydney and as laid back as his New Zealand roots.

Seamlessly key-matched, Paul’s been pulling of some of Sydney’s smoothest resident sets at clubs such as Opera Bar and Bank Hotel since 2005. But his command of the decks and ability to work the room take him up and down the east coast and back home to New Zealand for private gigs and festivals.

Funked-up break-beat with a twist of jazzstep drum ‘n bass - for those in the know Paul’s broken beat mixes have been circulating, gaining respect and support from artists and record labels in Australia and overseas. Paul’s sets now include the freshest unreleased tracks, sent in from producers as far afield as Seattle to test drive on his faithful Sydney crowd.
