Paul Elstak

Dutch producer and DJ of Indonesian origin. Related to Jazz musician Nedley Elstak (1931 - 1989).

DJ Paul Elstak (born The Hague 14 January 1966) is a Dutch hardcore and happy hardcore DJ and record producer. He used to use his full name to create happy hardcore and DJ Paul for hardcore gabber, but when he started Offensive Records in 2001, he started using both names for gabber.

In 1987, his career was launched when he was accepted as a DJ at Rotterdam Discothèque Bluetiek-Inn. Here, for the first time, he played with the Dutch House music pioneer Offensive Records. To this day Paul still releases hardcore on this imprint in his own typical (Rotterdam) style.
