Guest Selector: Paul Crary

l've only met Paul recently, but after catching a couple of his sets, I was immediately impressed. He rides the line of keeping the party up and keeping the selections really interesting.

After working professionally in the independent music space for seven years in Los Angeles, Paul recently boomeranged back to his hometown of the Twin Cities. An avid record collector and bedroom DJ, Paul has thrown various DIY house parties in Los Angeles and Minneapolis for over a decade. Most recently, Paul has DJ'd at Franconia Sculpture Garden and music-forward public gatherings such as Pro-Am, Eternity, and private events for the Walker Art Center. You can hear Paul's selections on his longstanding SoundCloud page, where he has uploaded over 60 wide-ranging music mixes over the last ten years.

Paul brought some really amazing selections through the bar on February 26th, 2025. A handful of the tracks he sent to highlight on this playlist aren’t on the streamers- a true sign of a good collection. Dig into Paul’s other mixes for more.
