Paolo Mojo takes a few minutes out of his busy schedule for a chin wag with the guys at Spin Out Records.

Paolo Mojo; a DJ of almost 20 years standing, record label owner and producer extraordinaire. A talented man if ever there was one! He broke through in 2001 with his double CD mix ‘Music is Freedom’ and highlights include winning Muzik Magazine’s Bedroom Bedlam Award. He moved on to be the man behind Renaissance label’s ‘Renaissance Digital 01’ mix which became the first DJ mix released exclusively on iTunes....and he hasn’t stopped since; with gigs from New York to Tel Aviv, hosting his own radio show, guesting on others and producing cross-genre dance floor killers the latest of which is a remix of Reuben Keeney’s ‘Saxophone’ out now on Spin Out Records.
