Background:

From the mid seventies Paul "Trouble" Anderson has been instrumental in the London dance music scene. Crackers, Spats, The Embassy, Global Village, The Electric Ballroom; these are just some of the clubs that Paul helped make legendary. In the mid eighties, with his Trouble Funk sound system, Paul brought his sublime blend of dance music to the warehouse scene. And with his weekly radio show on the notorious pirate station "Kiss" he played this sound to the masses.

Somehow finding time for the studio, Trouble lent his remixing skills to Nomad's UK No.1 "Devotion", Junior Reid's Jamaica No.1 "One Blood" and remixes for Blaze, Pet Shop Boys, Soul II Soul, Thelma Houston, Byron Stingily and many more. With his own "Trouble's House" night a major star in London clubland, featuring guest appearances from Ten City, Todd Terry, DJ Pierre and David Morales, it was a natural choice as Kiss FM went legal in 1990 for Paul to take over the Saturday night 9-11 slot which continued as "Trouble's Original Mix Show" until 1998, when changes in the station's music policy resulted in Paul's reluctant resignation.

Trouble's audience could always find him, though, at his 10-year weekly dance party "The Loft" which saw very special shows from Trouble and guests, such as Loleatta Holloway, Jean Carne, Jocelyn Brown, Masters At Work, Tony Humphries, Rosie Gaines, Michael Watford, Darryl Pandy and Barbara Tucker. It was voted No.1 Midweek club 3 years running by magazines such as Time Out, The Face and The Evening Standard, was filmed by MTV, and built a dedicated following who regularly made Wednesdays in Camden their priority. The party was forced to end when its former venue HQ's closed as a club, but the vibe now continues as Loft 2 at Madame Jo Jo's, Soho from Thursday 7th February 2002.

Update:

The year 2000 saw him release a live mix album "Trouble's House" on R2 Records which features an inspired collection of soulful uplifting favourites mixed in his own inimitable style.
Since then, he has been writing songs, and is currently setting up his own record label "Troubled Soul Records", to be launched in the near future. He has strong links with the fashion world, having previously played at parties for Julian McDonald at London Fashion Week and Chanel at Milan Fashion Week, and been photographed for Italian Vogue with Giorgio Armani. He has recently performed on a Ministry Of Sound tour in Italy with Howard Donald from Take That, and has done guest radio mix shows for Radio 1, Virgin FM and Jazz FM, and has been interviewed by Channel 4 for a documentary about the influential club Crackers.

Now in his 26th year behind the decks, Trouble refuses to be labelled as playing a specific musical genre, maintaining that a house is where you live and a garage is where you park your car. As long as he's still playing, influencing dance Artists and ultimately us, the listeners, championing dance music past, present and future with love and dedication, its future is ensured.
