Biography

In the early 2010s, Paul Seul lived in the Netherlands. He worked for a communications agency. It was during his work with the client ID&T/Thunderdome, a Dutch electronic music festival, that Paul Seul became interested in the gabber musical style.

Mathilde Fernandez, whose music blends pop and gothic styles, requested a remix of her song Oubliette from the EP Hyperstition released in 2019. They then decided to continue this collaboration under the group name Ascendant Vierge. The name comes from their respective astrological signs, Virgo for Paul Seul and Gemini for Mathilde Fernandez.

In 2021, Paul Seul worked on a new solo EP titled Amoureuse, which began with the production of the track of the same name. Paul Seul sent it to another producer, Alberto from Gabber Eleganza, who encouraged him to work on a full project in the same style. He then added female vocals and pop elements, while blending his original influences, such as extreme electronic music (gabber, hardcore, etc.).

In addition to his solo career and work in groups, Paul Seul has participated in productions for Biffty & Hyacinthe.
