BACKSPIN #1 - The beginning

Music built in the gaps

I’m Paul.

I’m not a full-time producer, DJ, or someone deeply in the music scene. Most days look pretty normal - school runs, dog walks, family stuff, trying to fit work and life around everything else.

But for the last couple of years I’ve been learning how to make electronic music whenever I can find the time.

Small pockets of time mostly.

An hour here. Twenty minutes there. Late evenings when the house is quiet. Testing tracks in the car. Tweaking arrangements while drinking coffee. That kind of thing.

Some of it is frustrating. Some of it is surprisingly addictive.

This newsletter is where I’m documenting that process.

The tracks. The ideas. The progress. The stuff that doesn’t work. The moments where something suddenly clicks.

I’m releasing music regularly while I learn and improve in public. At the moment I’m putting out a new track roughly every 10 days, which is forcing me to stop overthinking and to focus on finishing things.

The music itself sits somewhere around electronic / house / tech house / melodic techno territory, depending on the track and mood. I’m still figuring that out too.

What interests me most isn’t really the “DJ lifestyle” side of music. It’s the process of building something creative around a life that already feels full.

So that’s what BACKSPIN is.

Music built in the gaps.
