Inspired by the productions of fellow dusty fingered archivists such as Greg Wilson, Late Nite Tuff Guy, & Tiger & Woods, Saul’s edits have grown wilder as he’s experimented, extended and completely re-worked into some of the hottest club edits around, a brilliant Dj who always displays his love for all things 80’s, 90’s and beyond.

DJ Saul’O is a distinctive musical character whose passion has led him to succeed beyond pipe dreams. Veteran of House and Electronic Music, at just 16 years of age he started his journey as a DJ and since then he has quietly obtained his prolific style in the dance music world by using seamlessly soft rhythmic transitions. Not to mention that his own remixes and rare versions of house and electronic beats are continuously an essential fusion in his sets.
Saul continues to bring his own style to the dance floor. His expertise in the mixing business has sharpened his capabilities of adapting to almost any dance scene in which he finds himself performing, giving him the opportunity to allocate club residencies around the globe.
Moving into the new generation of electronic music and technology, he is now spending more time in the studio, working on new tracks and remixes. Saul looks forward to continuing sharing his passion by achieving his goals at a higher level, not only as a DJ, but also as a music producer. He also set up his label “Neglected Groove Records” in 2010 which has had releases from some of the biggest producers around both Vinyl & Digital and support from some of the best in the business.
One of the most important things in this business, he mentions; “Is to constantly remain humble, levelheaded and positively motivated without ever forgetting that the point of playing music is to spread love and celebrate life”.
