“I just can’t help it” he explains, “Life is so rich and there are so many stories to be told, some people use words to communicate them,
I use music. To me - Music is everything and every song has a special meaning to someone”
Using the medium of music Paul lifts emotions and creates community. He cares for each and every person on his dance floor and always entertains his audience. At times during his sets it feels like he is hanging out with the audience like it’s a group of his old friends, at other times he inspires them through his musical selections. Never afraid to blend the old with the new, his sets are always interesting and the journey he takes you on differs from one set to the next.
A child of British immigrants growing up in the Greek neighborhood of Marrickville in Sydney, Australia he absorbed musical influences ranging from Funk, High Energy, Disco and New Wave. He started his vinyl collection at the tender age of 12 and has never looked back.
Spinning since 1985, Paul Goodyear came to greater recognition during Australia’s Summer of Love in 1988. As a resident of the Rat and Bacchanalia dance parties held at the Hordern Pavilion he played to crowds in excess of 5000 clubbers every weekend. He held many long standing DJ residencies in Sydney. His infamous every Saturday night residency at ARQ nightclub (from 1999 to 2006) grew a cult following - it was here that he established himself as the master of the marathon set, with many of his ARQ sets lasting over 14 hours.
Simultaneously and since, Paul played at high profile events all over the world, including throughout Australia, USA, London, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bali, Mexico, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Auckland and Madrid.
In the early 90's inspired by the Latin Rascals and Australia's Robert Racic, Paul Goodyear first started editing on Reel-to-Reel.
His first edit was picked up by Hot Tracks and over the past 30 years he has had re-edits, remixes and productions appear regularly on remix services that include Direct Hit, Discotech, DMC Records; and Ultimix for which he is still a resident remixer.
Although he has long retired his reel-to-reel and now uses digital technology he has never stopped editing, ensuring his sets are full of exclusive re-edits and mashups. He shares some of these reworks under the name SanFranDisko.
He has scored numerous worldwide chart hits with his remixes appearing in the US Top 20 Billboard Club Play Chart and reaching the coveted No. 1 spot on Pop charts in Australasia. In addition to founding his own record labels “Ace DJ Remix Service”, “Tomcat Music”
and "Goodyear Muzik" he has contributed original productions to labels all over the world.
His credits also include official remixes for artists including Nile Rogers, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Linda Clifford,
Taylor Dayne, Mary Wilson, Kimberly Davis, Judy Cheeks, Ed Sheeran, Ultra Naté and more.
With many artists struggling to stay relevant as musical trends come and go and technology changes the playing field,
Paul Goodyear has shown a remarkable gift for not just staying abreast of these trends, but for contributing to them and shaping
them himself. Looking through press written about him you will find references such as "Disco Dignitary", “Perfectionist Wizard
in the Studio, "World Renowned Mix Master" and "DJ Sensation”.
Based in San Francisco's Bay Area since 2010, he is now San Francisco's hardest working DJ with multiple residencies in
SF's Queer Nightlife Scene as well as regular international and interstate Gigs.
He appears weekly on NDCRadio and RadioActive 91.3 from Greece as well as guesting on stations from Brazil to Italy.
