Swimming Paul
This event is strictly 18+
Born in Paris, based in London, and with the world as his workplace, producer and DJ Swimming Paul brings his emotionally charged, melody-driven club electronics back to Australia this January. Musically, he moves in the space where reflective subtlety meets the dancefloor’s carefree euphoria. Armed with atmospheric hooks and big feelings, his sets deliver pulsating club energy with a touch of backstreet grit. This return sees Swimming Paul reconnect with his Aussie fans, after a sell-out Australian tour in 2025.
Swimming Paul first immersed himself in electronic music while spending time in London. After being in contact with the UK electronic scene, he fully dedicated himself to music production, releasing his first tracks in spring 2023. His second single “Fading” caught the attention of BBC Radio 1, earning support from Pete Tong, Danny Howard, and Jess Iszatt.
Since then, Swimming Paul has been building momentum, consistently dropping new music every month and cultivating a dedicated fan base through authentic engagement. His recent collaboration with Tiësto on “VHS RAVE” marked a breakthrough, drawing massive attention and cementing his status as one of the most exciting new names in electronic music. With multiple spins on Triple J, BBC Radio 1 and major radio shows like Diplo’s Revolution, Swimming Paul’s sound has resonated on a global scale. His Coachella performance and all the sold-out shows in the UK, France, Spain and the U.S. further highlight his rising influence in this scene. Don’t miss your chance to see Swimming Paul, returning with a brand new album to share with his Australian fans, live in Australia this January.
