Information:
Cameron Paul (1959–2018) is a vital figure as a pioneer of the "San Francisco Sound" and a master of the radio megamix. Known as the "Godfather of Mixing" in the Bay Area, he transformed DJing from simple song-playing into a high-energy production art form.
The Pioneer of "Power Mixing"
Cameron Paul was instrumental in moving DJing beyond simple beat-matching. He popularized "Power Mixing"—a fast-paced style characterized by quick transitions, heavy use of loops, and layering multiple tracks to create a seamless, high-energy "wall of sound." His style became the blueprint for modern radio mix shows.
Major Career Milestones
Radio Legend: He revolutionized radio at San Francisco stations KSOL and KMEL, where his "Power Mix" shows helped propel KMEL to the #1 spot in the market during the 1980s.
The "Push It" Remix: Perhaps his most famous contribution to pop history, Cameron Paul remixed Salt-N-Pepa’s "Push It." His version transformed the B-side track into a global platinum hit, effectively launching the group to superstardom.
Mixx-It Remix Service: In 1985, he founded Mixx-It, one of the most influential DJ subscription services in history. These records provided DJs with "DJ-friendly" edits of popular songs, featuring extended intros, outros, and breakbeats that made mixing much easier for club DJs.
Technical Innovation
Before digital software existed, Paul was a master of tape editing and turntable manipulation. He released instructional materials, most notably the video Cameron Paul Tells All, where he shared his secrets on beat-matching and remixing, mentoring an entire generation of future turntablists.
Legacy and Honors
Hall of Fame: Inducted into the Legends of Vinyl DJ Hall of Fame.
Influence: DJs like Q-Bert and various Bay Area legends cite him as a primary influence for his technical precision and creative track selection.
Cultural Impact: He bridged the gap between the underground club scene and mainstream radio, proving that a DJ's creative remixing could drive record sales.
Cameron Paul was so influential in the 80s that people used to record his radio mixes onto cassette tapes to play at their own parties, as his transitions were often considered better than the original records themselves.
