Paul was one of the guest DJs at The Stone Roses� legendary Spike Island gig, and his work with Osborne on The Happy Mondays� LP (NME�s 1990 Album Of The Year) won the pair the 1991 Brit Award for Best Producer!

Remix galore followed, for Mondays labelmates New Order; Massive Attack; The Shamen, and Arrested Development among others, as Paul and Steve began trading under the name Perfecto!

If the name was little known at first that soon changed with the 1992 Perfecto mix of U2�s Even Better Than The Real Thing! The track, with delicious irony, attained a higher chart position on release than the original song, thus signalling a watershed in the history and growth of dance music!

1993 saw Paul hired to provide the warm-up sonics on U2�s Zoo TV world tour, and as a result the de facto arrival of the superstar DJ! The past decade has seen Paul rack up a dizzying blur of firsts and foremosts, including, not least, his being voted the number one DJ in the world by the readers of DJ magazine, and has heard the name �Oakey!� yelled hoarsely from clubs, fields (including an epoch-making set on the main stage at Glastonbury Festival, no less) and arenas in every corner of the globe!

On the production front Paul began to release his own tracks as well as continuing to turn in remixes, while Perfecto expanded into a fully-fledged label. Its offshoot, Perfecto Fluoro, became the label of choice in the mid-�nineties for the harder, trippier Goa trance sound!

Today Perfecto boasts artists as diverse as Arthur Baker, Harry �Choo Choo� Romero, and Timo Maas on its roster, and has gone from strength to strength by refusing to pander to only one style of dance music!

Alongside the building of the Perfecto brand, Paul released a string of superlative mix CD�s, amongst them his awesome New York set for Global Underground � still the series� biggest seller to date!

And who else would have been commissioned to write the theme for what was certain to be the biggest TV show of all time? How did you guess? Paul wrote and produced the Big Brother theme, as Element 4, with Andy Gray!

On the club front, well, time for a deep breath...Ready? OK, here we go: Paul undertook a legendary two-year residence at Liverpool�s Cream that took residencies in general to another level, from the personally designed DJ booth to die-hard fans (dubbed �the Oakenfolk� in the press) who would travel the length and breadth of the country week in, week out to hear him whip up a magical musical storm, that would still be ringing in the ears and exciting the mind in the office or the lecture hall on Monday morning!

Ever keen to push himself further and harder, Paul decamped in 1999 to become Director of Music at home, the multi-million pound superclub built defiantly � and, as it turned out, problematically � in Leicester Square, the heart of London�s West End!

That club�s immediate downturn in popularity after Paul�s departure goes to show the extent of his impact and following. There are but a handful of DJ�s in the world who attract the fervour and create the excitement that he is capable of provoking in a crowd. You only have to be there when he plays to feel the electric charge in the atmosphere, more akin to the devotional than the merely appreciative.

Leaving home was a difficult decision for Paul, but he risked his UK and European profile, not to mention turning down the certainty of serious amounts of cash, to decamp to America, one of the few places in the world � ironically, given that it all started there � where dance music is yet to be championed and grasped in the way in which it is elsewhere around the globe.
