Radio shows and guest mixes

One of the greatest pleasures for me has always been sharing music that I love with others. I managed to do this by initially hosting small parties and later DJing around the globe.
I have also hosted a few radio shows over the years which is a great way to
reach a much wider audience.

Girls FM 106.8
I was given the opportunity to play on GirlsFm in 1996 which at the time was London's biggest pirate radio station. The studio was in a tower block in South London and I remember turning up with my records in a plastic bag as we weren't allowed record boxes or bags as we didn't want the neighbors to know what was going on! It was a shambolic studio run but was an immensely popular station and had a huge influence on the house music scene in central London and the suburbs.
Other DJ's included Huckleberry Finn, Kenny Hawkes, Luke Solomon

Ministry of Sound Radio / Defected in the House
After Ministry of Sound installed a radio studio in the office adjacent to the club I was offered the chance to present the weekly Defected in The House show on rotation with Alan Thompson.
The show was professionally produced and was my first opportunity to broadcast a high quality show with guest DJ's, interviews and more.

At the FourFour front
After Defected pulled the plus on their show I was asked to stay on with Ministry radio with my own weekly show. At the FourFour front was a two hour show featuring all the latest tracks that my our company (FourFour Promotions) was working on at the time as well as the favourite tracks I was featuring in my DJ sets. The show was also sometimes hosted by Joel Chapman who would cover for me and eventually took over the show.
Later on I recorded the show at my home studio and broadcast the mixes exclusively via my website Paul-Farris.com

Guest mixes
I was invited to perform guest mix on several shows over the years. Some were live some were pre-recorded and some I still have copies of on cassette or DAT so I'll upload them as I find them.

Soulution records

In 1997 I set up a label called 'Soulution' with one of the ex-directors of Uptown Records.
We signed and release two tracks "Henny's keys" and "Rainbow" from Crash Control aka Toronto based DJ, producers and good friends Dino and Terry which we released on 12" vinyl.
I can't recall now how many were released but we certainly sold a bucketload at Uptown!

Sadly I fell out with my label partner shortly after so this was the one and only release on the label, however for a while we had a cool office in Ladbroke Grove which had a great roof garden and amazing views of Notting Hill carnival that year!

Oh and by the way Henny's Keys was named after and dedicated to Dino's wife Henny!

Paul-Farris.com 2001-2006

At the beginning of 2001 I launched my first website Paul-Farris.com

The first design was black and yellow and featured a chart with soundclips, gigs list and photos from events that I played at.



















A year later and I launched a new look website which guest charts, house music news and gossip, competitions, mixes and guest mixes as well as linking to the 'Farris Forums'
What helped make my website successful was that I worked really hard at keeping the website content updated every few days so that people could hear all the great music that was about.


































My website is still active although now features information relating to my photography.
