A.k.a. Craig Paxton Paul Robertson

Filth & Pleasure; A.K.A Paul ‘Geeza’ Robertson and Craig Paxton, hail from London and Edinburgh respectively. Championing a more groove-lead, upbeat techno sound, they are heavily influenced by the likes of Groove Delight, Victor Ruiz, Adrian Hour, Alex Stein, K.A.L.I.L., Thomas Schumacher, Jay Lumen, Chus & Ceballos, Kyle Watson, Mark Knight, Carl Cox, Jon Rundell and Matador to name a few. They met originally back in 2001 during the halcyon days of the Hard Dance scene and were regular features at clubs like Frantic, Ministry of Sound, Innovate, Extreme Euphoria, Twisted and Heat UK. Under their initial guise as Section 2, they made their debut on the Heat UK boat party to Germany supporting Fergie – of BBC Radio 1 fame, and went on to record their first track – ‘Keep Coming’ which went to Number 1 on Beatport on the Addiction Digital imprint. Their second track – ‘Texas Saw Bass Massacre’ received great reviews and was track of the month in Mixmag and signed to the legendary Traffic Records. ‘Silo’ – which Paul recorded separately with engimatic producer Nick Sentience, was signed to the Night Vision label and also went to number 1 in the Trackitdown.net charts. Their DJ sets saw them play at the likes of Shepherds Bush Empire, Ministry of Sound, The Fridge, Brixton Academy, supporting the Hoxton Whores in Reading and several seasons in Ibiza, culminating in the highlight of their careers to date in the main room at Es Paradis on the White Isle. Since moving to Australia their sound has refined and matured to that which you hear today. Regular features on the Perth party circuit have seen them play sets on the infamous Groove Ryderz boat parties, as well as Gilkison’s, Fevah in Melbourne, and their annual residency playing 6 hour sets at WA’s version of Burning Man – Blazing Swan. Recent forays in to the studio have seen them have 2 of their first 4 tracks signed to up and coming UK House & Techno label Freakin 909 - https://www.facebook.com/freakin909 and another recently signed to Speedsound Records - https://www.facebook.com/speedsoundmusic/ with future release 'I Am' due for release on KOT Records.
