Paul Masterson

Paul Kevin Masterson is a Northern Irish DJ and record producer, originally from Belfast and now living in London. A prominent figure in the British dance music scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Masterson is noted for his prolific output under numerous recording aliases, achieving chart success in genres including Hi-NRG, house, and trance.

Biography
Recording as Amen! UK, he had a hi-NRG hit with "Passion", released by Deconstruction Records in 1995. Billboard magazine described it as being "underlined by an intangible but apparent reverence for hi-NRG architects, such as the late Patrick Cowley", praising the track's "crazy-catchy chorus" while slightly criticizing the lack of "meaty" lyrics otherwise. He has used various recording aliases since 1995, which are listed below. In the United States, his best known production along with Rachel Auburn, Candy Girls (which featured an American lead vocalist, Sweet Pussy Pauline), reached number 7 on Billboards Dance Club Songs chart with "Wham Bam" in 1996. He has also worked with Judge Jules, most notably billed as Hi-Gate. ==Production aliases==
