Pablo del Monte Pablo del Monte London DJ. Producer. Label Boss. Radio head. East London. House is a feeling! Labels send promos to: pablopromos@gmx.co.uk Biog: Pablo del Monte is a house music DJ/producer based in London, label boss at East Recordings and head of internet radio station Brick Lane Radio. As a youngster Paul Whelan grew up in Ireland listening to his older brother's collection of Chicago house and Detroit techno jams. Keen to experience the scene first-hand he moved to London and his love of dance music got him a job working in the now-defunct south London record store Zone 2 Records. Here he met kindred spirits and started DJing on the London UK Garage pirate radio scene in the early ‘noughties. Soon he found himself in the studio with Spatts from UK hip-hop act Criminal Minds and together, as Factor X, they released a number of breakbeat EPs on Carbon Records. Paul's next collab was with Caspar Kedros of Headrillaz fame. As ECT, they had a number of house-infused breakbeat chart hits. Things happened quickly and the guys played clubs like Home, Zap and Fabric, and appeared on Annie Nightingale's BBC Radio 1 show. Over time, their sound morphed into tech-house and their releases on seminal UK label Eukahouse drew support from the likes of Mr C and gigs at London's The End soon followed. After much success Paul's partner Caspar began making music for TV. ECT's hit 'Junk Odyssey' was featured on the US version of the series 'Queer As Folk'. However, this world was not for Paul so he launched his solo career. And thus his moniker Pablo del Monte was born - with the intent of making proper house music! However, he needed to develop his production skills as a solo artist so he enrolled to study at London's famous Pointblank Music School... ...and by the time Pablo felt confident of his production standards, serendipitously for him, his first true love, Chicago house, was making waves circa 2013 re-branded, as it was back then, as deep house. With fellow Pointblank students Pablo set up Brick Lane Radio, which became known for this new house sound. Determined to have full control over his career this time round he set up his own label, East Recordings. Pablo's early releases like his Maya Jane Cole-esque track 'Glide over Here' gained critical acclaim and was remixed by house don Julius Papp. However, it was his Marshall Jefferson-inspired party house anthem 'House to House' that put Pablo's name on the map after Marco Carola caned the track throughout the summer of 2016 at his Music On night. The commercial success of 'House to House' led some to think that Pablo's take on house was mainstream but over the coming years his sound became tougher as he released a string of EPs on labels like In Denied Music, Maison Records and Audiophile Deep to name a few; drawing on his experiences of the early London tech-house scene as his point of inspiration. This year finds Pablo established as one of London's leading DJs with gigs at clubs like Ministry of Sound and his own east London party Throw It Up. Over the previous few years Pablo was a prolific 'studio rat' with some 30 releases and remixes under his belt. Subsequently he decided to focus less on volume going forward and now releases around 4 high quality EPs per year on select respected labels like his own imprint and on Lupe Fuentes's In The Loop Records so that he can dedicate time to his DJ career and his own club night, as well as to Brick Lane Radio. Although, his tracks feature on so many compilations his actual discography continues to grow exponentially! Known as a versatile producer with releases in genres ranging from deep house through tech-house to techno all Pablo's productions share that 'house is a feeling' vibe regardless of genre, and with much love shown from the dance music press this DJ - despite his experience - is 'one to watch’. "House is a feeling, y'all"...
