From dimly-lit warehouses to festival stages, Damien’s sets draw musically from his rave-inspired roots, blending styles to entrance his audiences and bring them along for the journey.
Damien was a long-standing resident DJ of Boston’s legendary after-hours nightclub, RISE, helping it earn the title of DJ Mag's 2012 #42 ranked club in the world. He was also the recipient of a Boston Magazine "2012 Best of Boston Award" for his residency at Good Life in downtown Boston.
Damien Paul has performed in support of world-class talent including Jay Lumen, John Dahlback, Drumcell, the Scumfrog, Eartha Harris, and Danny Daze.

Damien’s is a stalwart defender of underground music. As a co-founder of the Rabbit Revolution event and lifestyle brand, Damien inspired a generation of electronic music fans at events across New England. With the Cicada project, he further developed his prowess for art-focused afterhours events. And as booking manager and talent buyer for the historic venue, The Middle East Nightclub, Damien showcased emerging artists.
Today, Damien continues to explore and contribute to the intersection of art and music as the camp lead of DIODE, which produces one of the largest sound stages at the regional Burning Man event in Vermont.
