With over two decades behind the decks, Paul Hilditch has carved out his place as a key figure in Brighton’s underground house scene. What began with a pair of decks at Christmas evolved into a lifelong mission: delivering feel-good, groove-driven house music that moves dancefloors and connects people. Known for his infectious blend of funky, jackin’, disco-infused and tech-influenced house, Paul has supported and shared line-ups with some of the scene’s most respected names, including Grant Nelson, Angelo Ferreri, Earth N Days, Bushwacka!, Danny Rampling, Jess Bays, Prok & Fitch, Dolly Rockers (Odyssey Inc), Hoxton Whores, Steve Mac (Rhythm Masters), Enzo Siffredi and Seamus Haji.

From his early residency at Brighton’s iconic pre-club bar […]
