Justin Paul Short Biography In the world of electronic music, you know you’re on to something good when legendary Philly DJ/producer King Britt says your label “is putting Philadelphia back on the map.” The label King Britt was referring to is Playloop Records; founded in 2006 by DJ/producer Justin Paul. The music industry of 2008 is a Savage Beast. There has never been a time where being a musician or running a record label has been more difficult that in the present. This is a transitional period where new forms of music distribution (digital) are supplanting the tried and true methods (record stores) of years past. In the end, it will be the musicians and labels that identify with and understand what the fans want, who will find the most success. Justin Paul has the type of character and drive that melds with this future music industry. His Playloop Records label has already drawn critical praise from some of the most respected DJs in the world and his releases are amongst the highest-selling tracks on a number of popular online download destinations. DJing for over 20 years gives Justin Paul an amazing ear for quality tunes but he is more than just an A&R man. Justin Paul is involved with every step of the processes that surround the Playloop brand. In short order Justin Paul has amassed quite a roster for his label. Playloop artists represent a wide range of genres from deep house, downtempo, electro, electronica, house, progressive and techno. Paul’s own "Red Shift" (featured on Carl Cox Global Sessions) is a cinematic excursion into deep techy house and "There's A Reason" (featuring Sapphirecut on vocals) sounds like a marriage between Blondie and NIN. Artists like Dave Hughes, Microstar, DJ Everyday, The Model, Nigel Richards, Taurus & Vaggeli, Locality and Tattoo Detectives bring a unique style to the global dancefloor, while Kezner is in the business of making jaw-dropping downtempo bombs. In the first quarter 2008, Playloop will release a steady flow of digital 12-inches and LPs from their talented artist roster. New releases from Dave Hughes, The Model, Taurus & Vaggeli and Microstar.
