About
Rooted in house and techno, shaped by residencies and road miles.
Paul Carson is one of Belfast’s leading electronic music producers, releasing music across a wide range of genres for over 20 years.
He’s hosted weekly radio shows on Wk-end Radio, Elevate UK and UK Flava FM, and founded his own station, Numero Uno Radio, where he hosted shows in 2025 and 2026. His tracks have come out on his own label, Kus Records, and on LVLD Music, Neostatics Sounds and Soundserfing Records (both Russia), LW Recordings (UK), LFTD Global (Canada), Nothing But and ARTISTPORTAL.
He has played clubs, festivals and dance events across the UK and Ireland, shared line-ups with QFX, Micky Modelle, Bass Generator, Phil Hartnoll, Shades of Rhythm and Joey Beltram, and has been invited to play several UK events for Love Decade.
Through Numero Uno Radio, the station he founded, he spent hours digging through new releases to give emerging producers a platform. His own productions have been signed to labels in the UK, Canada and Russia, and run from vocal trance and progressive to acid, breakbeat and jungle.
I make and play the music I love rather than following trends.
True story
He is probably the only person to have made a 175 BPM jungle bootleg of the Sex Pistols’ “Anarchy in the U.K.”, simply because one didn’t exist for him to play in a set.

Radio is a big part of the story. Paul hosted weekly shows on UK Flava FM and Elevate UK from December 2024 to July 2025, and on Wk-end Radio from April to September 2025.
