Balance Selections 353: Paul Thomas

Paul Thomas is a globally respected DJ and producer whose catalogue of influential releases and remixes has firmly established him as a key figure in contemporary progressive music. As head honcho at UV & UV Noir Records, he has overseen a steady run of standout releases that have become regular go-to selections for DJs across the spectrum. Most recently, his remix of Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy the Silence’ topped the Beatport charts, while his rework of John Creamer & Stéphane K’s ‘I Wish You Were Here’ (featured on this mix) sensitively expanded on an already revered classic. Alongside his studio output, Thomas recently launched a new YouTube vodcast, Underground Live Forever, streaming from Armada Studios in Amsterdam. For this Balance Selections mix, he draws on years of experience to deliver a finely balanced, forward-leaning progressive set. Featuring music from GMJ & Matter, Ruben Karapetyan, Fran Garay and more, this is an assured 60-minute journey that unfolds with clarity and intent. @pdjpaulthomas
