Morning Choir presents French-born, London-based producer SWIMMING PAUL for a night of emotionally rich house and club-ready soundscapes. This rising artist has been quietly building momentum since his 2022 debut EP, but 2026 marks his true breakthrough moment. His debut album "Smiling Through the Pain" stitched together over a year's worth of monthly singles, creating an hour-long journey that flows with intentional emotional build. Songs like "Different Time" shimmer with 2000s house nostalgia and modern dance-floor warmth, blending driving energy with wistful euphoria that points always forward. His Tiësto collaboration "VHS Rave" and recent US tour stops in Denver, San Francisco, LA, and Chicago have sparked word-of-mouth buzz, earning comparisons to Fred again.. while establishing his own unique voice. Swimming Paul represents the kind of authentic artistry that transforms club-ready production into introspective songwriting, creating music that's infectious in that low-key, "wait, who is this?" way. From London studios to Durham's most intimate warehouse setting, he's bringing the polished production and emotional depth that's positioning him as more than just a niche favorite. This is house music as emotional journey. Expect 2000s nostalgia, modern warmth, and the kind of introspective euphoria that lingers long after the music fades. Emotional house meets club-ready innovation. Pure breakthrough vision.
