White Rabbit NOLA Episode: 05 Paul O'Neill

This episode centers on Paul O'Neill — a longtime selector whose journey into music started early, shaped by a household of musicians and a life spent chasing progression, both physically and creatively. From discovering underground parties as a teenager to teaching himself how to mix on vinyl without guidance, Paul's path has always been driven by curiosity and instinct. This conversation moves through the deeper side of DJ culture — the kind that isn't about quick hits or trends, but about long-form storytelling, control, and restraint. Paul breaks down his approach to building a room over hours, why he values patience over flash, and how rhythm and basslines guide everything he plays. We also get into his evolution as an artist — stepping away from DJing and returning, transitioning from vinyl to digital, and navigating a scene that's constantly shifting while staying true to his own sound. Along the way, he shares insights on avoiding formulaic music, protecting creative identity, and why, at the end of the day, all that really matters is what's playing in the moment. follow the white rabbit.
