BIOGRAPHY/INTRODUCTION


Greetings.

My name is Paul Derons.

I have been producing electronica since late 1999 and been playing live as Enclave since late 2000.

I was born in 1972 into a house full of classical music,began playing
guitar in 1986(after being refused a drum kit some 10 years earlier).
I began recording my own punk and metal infused material with a hi-fi and a tr-505 in 1991,I played in and provided front of house mixing for a number of Melbourne bands in the mid to late 90’s and ditched the band scene to focus on my own productions along more electronic leanings at the turn of the millennium.
I play a mix of tough,cerebral,deep futuristic techno with at times a bootyish acidic swagger.I have been a repeat performer at many infamous Melbourne parties including More Bass,Factory(aka “aLive,bLive”)and Bughaus as well as the seminal”Sticky Carpet”showcases at the now defunct Punters Club many years ago.

In August 2010 I played live to air on Kiss Fm(Melbourne,Australia) and was interviewed afterwards on “Beatfair”


I use only hardware when I play live,my setup revolves around a “Spectralis”hybrid synth/sampler/groovebox..lovingly handmade with all”class a”circuitry in Berlin,Germany.

My influences range from Robert Babicz to Plump Dj’s to Stacey Pullen to Surgeon,Honeysmack,Sandwell District,V1NZ,Forward Strategy Group,Traversable Wormhole,Bas Mooy and on into more industrial spheres such as Ministry and Front Line Assembly.

I also produce a broken/big beat and drum and bass sound under the Cut Phobic alias.
There are 2 releases under this moniker available to sample/buy via Souncloud/Juno download.

The journey continues.

Cheers.

Paul Derons.
