Paul Sparkes

Paul Sparkes has been immersed in the world of electronic dance music for over 25 years.

This British DJ has clocked up some serious air miles by performing in the US, Israel, India, Germany, Dubai, Russia, Bahrain, Finland, Croatia, Belgium, Bonaire and a slew of other exotic destinations.

Armed with the latest cutting-edge music, he has rocked the cream of the world's clubs including Pacha New York, SXSW Austin, Rise Boston, Ministry of Sound London, Club d'Anvers Belgium, Blue Marlin Ibiza and more. Closer to home, he is resident DJ and promoter of Floorplay, a monthly night that's been going strong for over 11 years at the legendary Club NL in Amsterdam.

As a producer he has released on renowned labels such as San Francisco's Loöq Records, Omid 16B's Sexonwax label, NYC's seminal Nervous Records, UK's Baroque Recordings and Ray Okpara's AMA records. He has also signed tracks to Under No Illusion Recordings and Slovakia's Seta Recordings, Paolo Martini's Polar Noise Records from Italy and Horatio's Natural Rhythm recordings out of Romania.

2020 saw him release on Collective Machine's label with a two tracker, and Paul's debut release on Dave Seaman's Seledaor Recordings is out now.

Paul is also resident DJ of Amsterdam's floating Wattrworld festival, playing on tall ships every month alongside Sasha, Patrice Baumel, 16 Bit Lolitas and many more. He will also tour the US and Eastern Europe in November 2021.

Paul continues with the same hard work, commitment, enjoyment and passion for his music as he did a quarter of a century ago.
