Paul Christian has been collecting and playing records for many years, but it was in 2023 that he took off with a residency and his own events at Hotel Shanghai in Essen. A music-first policy and stripped-back set up soon spread by word of mouth, and Christian got bookings around the wider region. His vinyl-only sets are big on emotion and span Afro, progressive, melodic and house with driving percussion and organic grooves. As he makes his debut on Non Merci Music with ‘D’jambu’ (Incl. Fiona Kraft Mix) DMCWorld goes Back To Mine With Paul Christian.
Roach Motel – The Night Deep Nite Mix
Deep house perfection. That groovy bassline, the gliding synths – and Paul Alexander’s
vocals? Still gives me goosebumps every time. This track pulls you in deeper every time.
Miss Kittin & The Hacker – The Beach
For me this track smells like sunscreen 😉 absolutely love this track!!
Angello & Ingrosso – 82-83 (Extended Mix)
When playing a vinyl-only night, this track squeezes the last bit of energy out of the crowd.
It’s the one you hear in the final half hour and spend the whole next week trying to track
down. An absolute masterpiece.
Atjazz – Harmony (feat. Dawne B) (Dixon’s Late Night Remix)
This track has everything it needs – deep bassline, sexy vocals, and a remix by the master
himself, Dixon. An absolutely timeless gem. If you don’t know it yet – check it out!
Ken Ishii – Malfunction Manipulation (Satoshi Fumi ‘Gravity’ Mix)
This track seriously leaves me speechless every time. Take 10 minutes and give it a listen – you won’t regret it. That’s all I can say…
Ron Basejam – Your Brain on Music
This white-label flip on Ron Basejam hits like a forgotten dream. Dreamy, deep electronic
disco vibes all over. I really love this one.
Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra – Too much Information – Laolu Remix (Edit)
‘Too Much Information’ is a nostalgic Deep House classic. Absolutely timeless and one of my all-time favourite tracks. This one brings back so many memories.
Paradis – Toi Et Moi
The album ‘Recto Verso’ by Paradis really shaped me in my musical journey. It’s a timeless piece, and thank God I finally got my hands on one of their singles on vinyl after a long wait. Truly incredible artists.
Fela Kuti – International Thief Thief (I.T.T.) [Armonica & MoBlack Extended Mix]
Found this track by chance on a trip to London at Phonica Records. Powerful remix and an absolute gem in my vinyl collection. This one’s a keeper forever.
Nduduzo Makhathini, Fka Mash – Re-Amathambo (Remix) ft. Anna Widauer
My latest earworm. An absolutely timeless track with stunning piano chords. The music video is also one of a kind – this track is a future classic for me.
Paul Christian ‘D’jambu’ (Incl. Fiona Kraft Mix) is out now on Non Merci Music.
