It was awesome to see Paul on the decks on Saturday Night, in the Home of Hip-Hop of all places (Brooklyn), and to see that the New Yorkers were losing it over his skills! He put on an incredible show, and I have the battle-wounds on my right leg to prove it ;) .

Check out my interview with the master himself to learn whats next for Paulio!
