Paolo’s label Oosh is at the center of his work. Two of his releases earned the title BBC Essential New Tune by Pete Tong. ‘JMJ’ (2007) and ‘Sirena’ (2008) earned the title ‘Top Tunes of the Summer’ for their respective years by Tong as well. He has two top ten hits in Beatport.
The label has expanded to include the cream of house and techno producers such as Wally Lopez, Rene Amesz, DJ Yellow, Noir, Jim Rivers, Juan Sanchez, King Unique, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Saeed Younan.
