Gilles Peterson
“Paul was humble, musical and an amazing entertainer. One of my DJ heroes right up there with Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles and David Mancuso. A UK version of those guys”
Louie Vega
“I do this for the love of people, the love of music and the love of life. We’re all here to learn, share and care. If you aren’t doing that, what are you doing here?
Paul ‘Trouble’ Anderson
‘Paul was the platinum standard of London DJs, much like New York City’s Larry Levan. He was the one they all admired and emulated. Paul’s love and dedication to music ran through his blood the same way it runs through mine. The way Paul played made it impossible to not dance. His selections had the ability to completely erase your worries and woes. Then there was Paul’s smile and his dance moves. I’ve never known any DJ to cut the rug with such skill and precision, while spinning record after record. Paul never seemed to tire. His energy seemed endless”
