#101 DJ Paulette: The Hacienda and gay clubbing, ”The music is better and the DJs are better!”

Happy new year! A couple of weeks break for me has turned into a bit of a sciatica ordeal, but fear not - the inconvenience of stabbing pains in my legs doesn't stop me recording podcasts.

DJ Paulette is an actual legend of the game - a resident at the legendary Flesh night at the Hacienda in the early 90s, she has enjoyed a truly varied and successful career since in many areas of the industry.

All of it, or the amount that could fit into 200 pages, is documented in her forthcoming book, Welcome To The Club. But we talk about lots of it here too.

This was a great conversation with someone who has genuinely done it all in the dance scene.

If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon! There are two tiers - "Solidarity" for $4 a month, which features the show without ads, regular bonus podcasts, and extra content. And "Musicality" which for a mere $10 a month gets you all the music we release on Hotflush and affiliate labels AND other music too, some of which never comes out anywhere else.

You can also make a one-off donation to the podcast using either a credit or debit card, or with Paypal. Head over to scubaofficial.io/support.

Plus there's also a private area for Patreon supporters in the Hotflush Discord Server... but anyone can join the conversation there in the public channels, so please do!
