SWIMMING PAUL

The anonymous French producer Swimming Paul, originally from Paris, has quickly become a notable name in electronic music since his project launched in March 2023 with the single "Your Song". His debut album, Smiling Through The Pain, arrived in June 2024, followed by Smiling Through The Pain 2 in October 2025, both released via Headroom Records. Swimming Paul's sound blends melancholic piano melodies and airy vocal samples over driving club rhythms, drawing influences from UK garage, stutter house, and IDM, alongside French electronic pioneers like Daft Punk and Justice. His sets are known for their high energy and emotional depth, creating a space for both introspection and movement.
