Renowned for their work in edit culture and contributions to Footwork and Juke, DJ Paypal is a pivotal figure in electronic music. Their portfolio includes official remixes for many artists, among hundreds of bootleg remixes of music from many different realms, and many features across their collaborators’ albums and their own records, resonating globally and finding place in DJ sets worldwide. Their creative output extends across labels such as Teklife, Hyperdub, Planet Mu, and their own label Mall Music Inc.

As the leader of Mall Music Inc., the label home to peers like DJ Orange Julius and DJ Mastercard, they've outlined a new take on footwork laden with lush synthesizers and hi-definition sonics, releasing EPs, singles and bootlegs. Paypal’s proper external debut EP, "Buy Now," released on Glasgow imprint LuckyMe, explores soul and disco influences, while the “Sold Out" double-EP on Flying Lotus’ LA-based Brainfeeder label stands as a testament to DJ Paypal's versatility at 160 BPM.

Who they play with

Three nights on the books, and no name on more than one of them.

Eight people have stood on one of these bills; none has stood on two.

The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography, the labels and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. Nothing on this page was written for it.
