Fresh from leaving school Paul worked behind the counter at his local record store whilst simultaneously playing and promoting parties and club nights. Many years, many clubs and much vinyl later, Paul's extensive music knowledge and retail experience led to the conception of a new record store - in the heart of London's Soho.
In 1995 Uptown Records opened its doors, and with Paul as Manager quickly established itself as one of the leading independent dance music stores in the UK. It was during his time here that Paul - under the guise of Shere Khan, with ATFC - produced ‘Jungle Juicy Funk' which received worldwide support and appeared on an early Defected In the House compilation.
With almost two decades of industry experience and contacts under his belt, establishing his own promotions company was a natural progression for Paul. FourFour Promotions, looked after the promotional interests of the some of the industry's best including the ShapeshiftersSandy Rivera & Deep Vision, Blaze & West End Records, Inaya Day and Mousse T with Peppermint Jam, Soulfuric, Knee Deep, Purple Music, MoreHouse and more.
Amongst the ranks of Defected Management, Paul was a resident DJ for Defected during the labels founding years. Much respected and acknowledged for his never-wavering commitment to quality house, a set from Paul encompasses the most upfront tunes combined with essential house classics.
Behind the decks, Paul residencies have included Ministry of Sound, Kindergarten Klub, and Sounds Heavenly, plus regular guests slots at some of the worlds best clubs including Ministry of Sound, Garage City, Fabric, Pacha, The Cross, Turnmills, The End, AKA, Heaven, Traffic (Coventry), Cool House (Cardiff), Heritage (Leeds), Cherry Jam (London), Out In The Sticks (Todmorden), The Zap (Brighton), Blend (Derby), Thompson's Garage (Belfast), Tank (Sydney), Alhambra (Brisbane), Family (Melbourne), She events (Sydney), House Kick (Zurich), D Club (Switzerland), Twisted (Vienna), Import (Warsaw), Night People (London), Independence (London), & Pravda (Switzerland).
Paul helped launch the hugely successful House Music Awards in London in 2004 attended by Roger Sanchez, David Morales, Frankie knuckles, the Shapeshifters, Ben Watt, Reel People, Ron Caroll, Danny Rampling, Junior Jack, Martin Solveig, Nic Fanciulli, Inaya Day, ATFC, CJ Mackintosh and many more.
Later the same year Ministry of Sound approached Paul to launch, compile and mix the very first Housexy compilation. He then joined Defected Records as Online Marketing Manager and contributed to helping establish Defected as one of the preeminent dance music labels of today.
Now living in Brisbane Australia, Paul Farris can be heard playing at various events across Australia.

Simons Records Yateley
Simon’s Records 1984 - 1994
Having parents who were big music fans definitely inspired and fuelled my love for music. I grew up to the sounds of Motown, 60’s soul, and Philadelphia and can’t remember never having the sound of music filling the house as we were kids. My first record buying experiences were mainly at the local record shop which was called Simon’s Records (after the owner) in a small village called Yateley. Here I would spend what little pocket money I had and any extra I earned from my paper round on the latest hot vinyl.
Simon’s was the typical independent record store that was almost obligatory on the high street of any town center and stocked a wide range of albums, cassettes, 12” and 7” singles. They had also stocked imported 12” releases and was a mecca for any DJ for miles around.
At the weekend I would head down to Simon’s with my mate Stephen Forbes who also shared my love for music and in particular 2-tone, and Ska music. As my school years came to a close the early 80’s spawned the electronic bands that have influenced many of today’s dance music artists such as Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Kraftwerk, Human League, OMD etc and my music taste changed once again. I can remember buying (and still own) a rare US import of the Yazoo track ‘Situation’ which was mixed by Francois Kevorkian who at the time was someone I had never heard of.
I left School at the first opportunity with not much more than an art ‘O-level’ and a desire to work with music in some way though at the time I had no idea how I would fulfill my dream. A few months later I accepted a job at Simon’s Records on as part of the government sponsored ‘Youth Training Scheme’ which meant I was working at the store four days a week and spending one day at college where I studied retail. To say I loved my job would be a huge understatement, I was working with music and getting paid to listen to music every day – what could possibly be a better I thought as a naive 16 year old.
As the years progressed and staff came and went I eventually became the manager of Uptown and later a director when the owner Simon decided that he wanted to sell the business to spend more time in Spain and indulge in his love for brewing beer!
By now the store had also branched heavily into video rental as the video boom took hold and the vinyl racks also became noticeably slimmer as CD’s became the must have format in the mid to late eighties. As rave culture spread across the nation in the summer of 89 I like many others became swept up by the new sound and of course the record racks were soon filled with a fresh new sound that started in the clubs of Chicago and later became more commonly know as House Music.
As more customers and local DJ’s started asking for more upfront releases I started searching out the latest tracks and would make a weekly pilgrimage to Greyhound Records in Battersea (South London) which was one of the biggest distributors of dance vinyl in the UK. Greyhound was a large company and every Friday would receive a huge shipment of US 12” singles plus boxes upon boxes of UK releases, white labels and promos many from small independent labels. It was a bit of a scrum getting to the vinyl, grabbing a deck to listen to the tracks and then grabbing as many copies of the hottest tracks you possibly could before piling them into the car and heading back down the M3 to the store. As news spread that Simon’s was the place to go to get the best house and dance vinyl I started to get the DJ bug again and decided to invest in a pair of Technics 1210’s having previously owned a rather cheap pair of mono 'twin decks' called a FAL50 (which I later sold to a mobile DJ.) It was a natural progression for me to start playing the tracks I was so busy sourcing and selling and so I started doing a few local gigs and eventually run my own nights. Meanwhile despite doing great business with vinyl 12” dance music the rest of the business was not so healthy, the early 90’s bought with it a recession that meant CD’s and records became for many a luxury item that most households simply couldn't afford. The video industry also went through some major changes as Sky and satellite channels started to eat into the home video market and heavyweights like Blockbuster started to push the small independent stores out of the high streets. Sadly Simon’s like many other businesses at the time became another statistic and the store closed it’s doors in 1994.

Housexy
In the spring of 2005 I received a call from the Ministry of Sound asking if I would help them put together a 'cool' compilation aimed at the market dominated by Hed Kandi and Defected. My role was to compile the tracklisting, mix both CD's and help to come up with a name for the compilation. Roughly 6 months after our initial meeting 'Housexy' was released in September of the same year.
The first compilation was a double CD which featured 30 tracks released in a fold out 'digipack.' The artwork featured a re-worked photo of a model who was hand-picked by Ministry specifically for the artwork. All Housexy releases to date have featured similar artwork using different models.
The compilation was mixed by myself on 2 CDJ1000's and two Technics Deck (for acappellas) at Wired Masters in London.
A friend of mine (Chris Warne) owned the name 'Housexy' and I approached him on behalf of Ministry when after much brain storming we could not come up with a name that we liked better. Chris was already considering stopping his club nights and so a deal was done and Housexy became a Ministry brand (although on the first release no Ministry of Sound branding appeared.)
One of the many things I have wanted to do is one day release an official 'mix compilation' and thanks to Ministry and the Housexy team I was able to do it.

Uptown Records
In late 1993 I joined a company called 'Record & CD Imports' who imported 12" house music and supplied London's dance music stores. I drove a Transit van stuffed full of vinyl around and looked after the Soho and West End stores such as Blackmarket, Catch a Groove, Quaff, City Sounds, Trax, Wyld Pytch, Zoom (Camden), Unity and Reds records (Brixton) to name just a few. The companies directors wanted to open a record store in Soho and asked me to get involved as I had over 10 years retail experience at Simon's Records. An vacant store was found at the opposite end of D'Arblay Street in Soho and after a few weeks painting the interior and assembling the fixtures Uptown Records opened it's doors In 1994. The original staff members were myself, Izzy and Johnny Mac (owners) and Ronnie Herel but over the years we were joined by Aydin Hasirci aka ATFC/OnePhatDeeva, Seamus Haji, Tim Deluxe, Joel Chapman, Hilka (produced Judge Jules radio show for Kiss FM), Spencer Parker, Big Al, Huckleberry Finn, Daniel Lively and Jo Mills amongst others.
A regular fixture that I encouraged was having guest performances and signings from DJ's and artists with Byron Stingily, Barbara Tucker, Roger Sanchez, Brian Tappert, Dino and Terry all appearing and performing in the basement. At the weekends the basement was so packed with customers buying house music that we had to limit people coming down the stairs and regular shoppers would often find themselves rubbing shoulders with the likes of Eric Morillo, Roger Sanchez, Norman Jay, Ashley Beedle, CJ Mackintosh, Danny Rampling, Bob Jones, Smokin' Jo, Dimitri from Paris, Jazzy M, Dave Lee and Mousse T, Full Intention, Alfredo, Ben Watt, Rocky & Diesel amongst others.
I worked and managed Uptown Records for over 8 years and met some amazing people, many have gone on to be very good friends (one even became my wife.)
I eventually left Uptown in 2003 to set up FourFour Promotions.

Some favourite Uptown memories :
Police raid Uptown
When Uptown first opened wanted to make an impact as we were competing alongside some of the world's finest dance music stores including Black Market who were on the same street. We decided that having an impressive sound system would help not only sell the records but also create a club atmosphere and make a statement. Jimmy Mac a colleague of mine worked for a club installations company so I enlisted him to set us up which he did with style providing a state of the art system with two huge speakers worth over £12,000. The word soon spread and as we hoped the system sounded amazing and we sold heaps of vinyl. Unfortunately the residents in the flat above us were not as enthusiastic about the latest must-have 12" imports as we were and logged a complaint with the Westminster council 'noise team.' After a few warnings and a couple of visits we tried our best to keep the volume but it was all in vain. So on one very busy day we got another visit from the 'Noise team' accompanied by a van load of police who proceeded to confiscate our entire sound system leaving us scratching our heads with no way of playing music let alone selling it!! We had to act fast so the next day we bought half a dozen turntables and mixers and set up 'listening stations' throughout the store, this not was not only a great solution but also increased our turnover and and as the months went on we noticed all our Soho rivals doing the same. Jimmy eventually got all the kit back!
You'll be closed within a month!
Linda who ran a rival store (Downtown Records) a few streets away had a bad reputation and took great pleasure in telling us in our first few weeks of business that we would "be closed within a month!" How we laughed when a few months down the line her store closed down (the empty store later became Flying Records.)
Sanchez roadblock
When Roger Sanchez was first promoting his single 'Another Chance' we asked him and his label (Defected) if they would like to do an in-store promotion. So after a little promotion on Wednesday 4th July 2001 the S-Man came down and rocked the basement playing an hour long set and signing autographs etc. The place was so packed we had to have doormen outside the store and had people passing bottles of water down the stairs to try and keep everyone cool. The whole set was broadcast live on the internet by a media company but I don't recall who they were, I would love to see it if anybody knows more or stumbles across a link or info.
Roger Sanchez - early set in the Uptown basement
Seamus Haji 'arrested'
A couple of the local bobbies often stopped by the store to pick up the latest R'n'B tracks from Ronnie and the boys upstairs. So one day we asked them to wind up Seamus who at the time had a guest show on London pirate 'Girls FM.' His face was a picture as the two of them came down the stairs asked for him then proceeded to handcuff him and lead him away on charges of broadcasting on an illegal radio station.
Uptown Logo
I was given the task of creating a logo for Uptown prior to the store opening. I can remember sketching out ideas whilst living in Farnborough with my best mate Ian and settling on the idea of a London skyline against a vinyl record. Whilst I admit not the most original of concepts (and I'm no graphic designer) the logo lasted well and I still get a kick out of seeing it around.
Mel CherenI had met Mel Cheren of Paradise Garage and West End Records fame a couple of times in London and at the Miami winter music conference. I remember him as a pleasant guy who loved to stop and chat music and was of course a great ambassador for house and dance music worldwide. One day he came past the store and we were talking about music and his book 'My life and the Paradise Garage' when he reached into his bag and with a smile gave me a hardback copy. He then proceeded to write on the inside page... Paul, Thanks for keeping the spirit of the garage alive - Music is the message & love is the answer. Best wishes Mel Cheren 7/9/2001
A very young Aydin (ATFC) Hasirci and Kerri Chandler
Spencer Parker and Harj Ram keepin' it real
UPDATE - Jan 2009
Uptown Records sadly closed it's doors towards the end of 2008. When I made a trip to London in January 2009 I visited D'arblay Street to find the premises locked up and To Let signs posted in the windows. A sad sight to see - I wonder what went wrong?

Shere Khan 'Jungle juicy funk'
In 2001 I collaborated with Aydin Hasirci (aka ATFC / OnePhatDeeva) on a 12" single called 'Jungle Juicy Funk.' Aydin was working with me at Uptown Records in Soho and we often talked of getting together and making a track, so in the winter if 2001 I headed over to his home studio just outside of Kingston with some vinyl and a few ideas. After a few days in the studio we had a basic backing track and after adding some vocal samples we had our track!! We mixed two versions which later became the A and B sides of a 12" white label that sold about 3000 copies with exports which sold well in Europe and reached as far as Australia. 'Jungle Juicy Funk' also appearing on an early Ministry of Sound/Defected compilation mixed by Full Intention & Smokin Jo.

Farris forums
At the beginning of 2001 I launched a website (www.paul-farris.com) which also included a link to my own forum.
'The Farris Forums'
When I first set up the forum it was intended to be a way to promote events I was playing at and also a place where I could 'chat' online with friends, contacts and like minded house music fans.
Just like my first website, the original forum was very basic and had just a handful of members who were mainly friends and colleagues. In the first half of 2002 as well as launching a new look website I also added a redesigned forum which by June had just over 30 members!
The forum quickly started attracting members from all over the world as an outlet for house music fans to talk about anything from releases and events, DJ equipment, radio shows and loads more.
By 2004 forum membership had topped over 1300 and as a thank you to all the forum members I put out a 12" EP titled the 'Forum Trax ep' which listed the names of all the forum members on the back of the sleeve. The 'Forum Trax ep' was released on my Con Brio label and featured Scarpi "Your Love" and Benzo feat AJ Lewis "Believe" (Anybody interested in getting a copy with original sleeve artwork drop me a message.)
As the forum became more popular I started hosting Forum events at the Ministry of Sound and invited forum members to play.
At it's peak the forum had over 2000 members with over 15,000 page views a day and included amongst it's members many high profile DJ's, artists and industry insiders.
The forum closed in May 2006.
