esident of S.E.QLD, Australia, Paul Abad has been active as a dj, promoter and producer for over 10 years. In that time his sets have explored a wide range of genres and movements in the electronic music spectrum. Paul's approach has always been to foremostly collect and play music that inspires and moves him, and to not worry about following trends or fashion in the industry.
These days it's the many flavours of techno grooves at the heart of Paul's musical activities - ranging from progressive techno, harder tribal grooves, k-haus, dub-tech, voodoo tech-house and more. Ableton is the format to put it all together - multiple tracks, loops, fx, controllers .. ensuring a multi-layered, seamless and sculptural approach to mixing ... always pushing the boundaries of dj'ing.. Flow, groove, space and progression are key themes in Paul's sets, but of primary importance is the mix - recombining and layering, and responding to an audience.
As a leading exponent of these sounds within Australia, Paul has graced the main stage of most Australian outdoor electronic music festivals - Rainbow Serpent, Cairns Winter Solstice, Maitreya, Earth Freq, Exodus, Regrowth, Somatica, EarthCore, Secret Sessions, Quantum Relic etc .. and played to audiences in all corners of the east coast of aus.
Over the years Paul has been chosen to support acts such as Future Sound of London/Amorphous Androgynous, Tipper, Dj Krush, Monolake, Maetrik, Richard Devine, Adam Beyer, Deadbeat, Jeremy Caulfield, Mark Henning, Phoenecia, Bernd Friedman, Antix, Perfect Stranger, Tegma, Phoney Orphants, Luna Spice, Bufo, Krumeler, Kazu Kimura, Thomas Brinkman, FreQ, Aes Dana and more.
