A major label deal was signed and a full band was put together Paul not coming from a band perspective was literally thrown in at the deep end but the debut album ‘Dirty Vegas’ was finished. Then something happened which literally changed the band’s life - the track ‘Days Go By’ was picked up for a national US advertising campaign (Mitsubishi) the advert had a massive impact on the US market and the record became one of the most requested tracks on American radio, the album debuted on the US Billboard at number seven and went gold in the US and silver in the UK. A tour followed with Moby as did appearances on legendary TV shows ‘David Letterman’, ‘Jay Leno’ and ‘Carson Daley’, an MTV award nomination, three Dancestar awards (including record of the year) and of course the biggie The Grammy for Best Dance Single (receiving three nominations in total). The boys were so convinced they weren’t going to win The Grammy they were actually in the bar when their award was announced. The much converted award led to two years of solid touring playing at all the major festivals in both the UK and Europe. Then it was back in the studio to start on the follow up album ‘One’ this was released in October 2004 and reached Top 50 in the charts. It was during this time in the studio that Paul started to miss the feeling and atmosphere of making and playing house music, it was then that Paul made the massive decision, to take the plunge, and in February 2005 Paul left the band.
Immediately after, Paul's DJ career once again took off, throughout 2005 he played everywhere from Melbourne to Moscow, Singapore to Curitiba, and NYC to LA. Production also went from strength to strength; remixing a whole multitude of tracks, his last one in ‘05 went top 10 - Tom Novy. Studio work has also been superb; his partnership with Jay P has proved to be the most successful, with twelve tracks recorded and due for '06 releases under various guises. Paul also has a follow up track coming on SR2 after the triumph of "Watchin...' and a new track due on Toolroom Records , and also a new SUPERBASS track on CR2 , all due for release sometime around the Winter Music Conference ’06.
