Paul Massey, known professionally as the DustRoom, is a Sheffield-based drum & bass, breakbeat, and neurofunk producer, DJ and sound engineer. In addition to his work in music production, Massey specialises in post-production audio for television and film, focusing on voiceover (VO) and automated dialogue replacement (ADR). For over 25 years, he has used the name the DustRoom across various websites, forums, and platforms such as Discord. Initially adopted as a username, the DustRoom became his DJ alias and later evolved into his brand on Instagram and in music production.
Early Career
editPaul Massey began his musical journey in 1994, working with a collection of analogue synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers such as the Roland TB-303, Juno 60, SH-101, and instruments from Moog Music, Sequential Circuits, and Korg. These tools became central to his development as an artist. Adopting the moniker the DustRoom, he gained experience as a DJ, hosting a regular House music slot on the internet radio station Freakin until its closure.
His use of the DustRoom name on online forums and platforms helped establish an early digital presence, which later became linked to his music.
DJ Career
editMassey began his DJ career under the moniker the DustRoom, gaining experience in the early 2000's through live sets and online radio. He was a regular on the now-defunct internet station Freakin, where he hosted a House music show. His performances during this period were influenced by the emerging electronic music scenes, and his alias became closely associated with his creative identity.
Over the years, Massey’s DJ sets expanded into different styles, reflecting his evolving interest in House, Techno, drum & bass and breakbeat. While his focus later shifted to production and engineering, his DJ roots remain a core part of his artistic journey.
