Paule
Silk collective
German-born and Raglan-based multi-genre music producer Paule needs no introduction. From the dark sweaty rooms of Berghain to the acid dancefloors of Paradise Garage, Paule has been shaping the face and ears of the music landscape for the last 31 years. His background as a classical keyboard player in Bavaria and his touche-à-tout multi-instrumentalist talents led him to be an essential element on tour for renowned artists such as Billy Joel, Aretha Franklin, and even Nirvana. Came to a point where he felt he needed to draw his own path, he flew to Chicago to partake with other great names into the rise of a genre he soon felt at home in: house. Tired after all those years of an industry he contributed to create, Paule has now retired from show business, preferring the quietness of a night in watching The Block and eating Thai curry (a recipe he learned on tour in Thailand with Dolly Parton), watering his peace lilies and rearranging his collection of socks. You might see him around Raglan, being an active member of the community or just enjoying a soy cappuccino in the sun with the boys. A visionary, a mentor, a creator, his love for music goes on still, and each of his appearances is an event within itself that redefines to the very core of the genres he’s decided to revisit that day.
