Some Reviews :
"Paul Doran rocked Turnmills when he was in
the UK last summer. This is one DJ who has his own
distinct style. Paul learnt his trade off HeatUK trance
resident Ian Betts. The result is a highly capable
DJ who is able to deliver what the dancefloor want
every time!"

"Next up to drive the wheels of steel, Paul
Doran. Just when I thought I was going to make it
to the bar for a much deserved beer I found myself
back on the dance floor enjoying a set of beat-perfect
UK trance filled with driving baselines and uplifting
melodies. The party was now in full swing, Paul did
a fantastic job of building the energy level even
further with tracks like "Surrender" by
Alphazone and plenty of other blinders. The place
was full to the rafters and going off like a packet
of crackers... I said to my mate: "It doesn't
get much better than this does it?"
