On 8th January we Kick off 2011 in our residency of Cafe 1001 main room.
We have been running Saturday night parties in the warehouse style main room of Cafe 1001 since the Summer an have been joined on the Funktion one sound by many friends and collborators. This time Universal Vibes head honcho Paddy Freeform will take control all night long

After picking up the DJ bug while working in a record shop in the early 90s, Paddy went on to forge a career taking in several high profile residencies and playing at just about every party in North East England, as well as promoting several events of his own. He also played alongside the likes of Carl Craig, Zed Bias, Bugz In The Attic, Gilles Peterson, 4hero and many more. A move to London soon followed where Paddy set up Universal Vibes. Originally conceived as an internet radio station five years ago, the website has gone on to attract around 50,000 hits per month and includes a wide selection of guest mixes and editorial content. Labels like Buzzin' Fly, Compost and Freerange have all been involved, while Paddy himself provides the 'Shakedown Sessions' dropping deep house for the dancefloor and the 'Freestyle Blend' featuring an eclectic mix of soulful grooves and deep house, hip hop, broken beat, disco and Balearic flavours.

In the summer of 2007 Universal Vibes expanded to become a record label and has released singles from Tim Scott, Jafar & Bobby Strobe, Poussez, The Onaz and OK_Ma among others. The label has received plenty of club and radio support, and is now reached its eleventh and twelfth releases by Young David and Keep the Secrets with the 'FuJi' and 'Nightlife' EPs respectively. The latter also features two remixes from Paddy under his Soulsonics name that take the jazzy vibe of the originals and turn them into dancefloor bombs. Next up is 'Audio Delight' EP from Hungarian artist Jaffa Surfa closely followed by Strange Worlds' haunting and critically acclaimed vocal track 'Broken', all of which cements the labels reputation to turn heads and surprise expectations with every release.

His skills and versatility as a DJ have gained Paddy much attention and he's equally at home playing underground, tech-edged house as he is playing more downtempo sets taking in everything from soulful house and broken beat to hip hop and dubstep. Paddy is totally at home on the big Funktion one rig and relishes the longer set times where he can really play across the board
