Paul looks back at the golden days of music magazines and club culture in the '90s, sharing stories of launching a fanzine on a shoestring, running sell-out nights that booked Daft Punk, and building a magazine that captured the spirit of electronic music.

He also talks candidly about burnout, the collapse of Jockey Slut, and what it took to start again.
