In the 116th episode of Techno Cartel Podcast we are very pleased to host Paula Cazenave
Techno and boasts a rich career spanning decades. Hailing from San Sebastian-Donostia in the north of Spain, she made Barcelona her home in 2003 and has since left an indelible mark on the global electronic music scene. From the late 90s onwards, Paula has graced the stages of prestigious venues and festivals across Spain, Europe, and South America, with notable appearances at Awakenings, DGTL, Brunch in the Park, Dreambeach, Aquasella, and many more.
Her journey commenced by juggling her studies in audiovisual production and sound technology with weekend gigs in the vibrant Basque Country nightlife.

Venues like La Cova became her playground, solidifying her position as a stalwart of the Barcelona electronic music community.
As an artist, Paula embodies the essence of a true DJ, eschewing gimmicks for a pure, no-nonsense approach. Her sets are masterfully crafted in the tradition of old-school DJs, characterized by impeccable technique, lightning-fast and seamless mixes, and a boundless versatility that traverses everything from pulsating grooves to dark, raw sounds—all stamped with her unmistakable signature style. While she defies categorization within specific Techno sub-genres, her sets consistently deliver sheer force and energy. Influenced by luminaries like James Ruskin, The Advent, Ben Sims, Surgeon, and Slam, Paula’s musical evolution has remained steadfastly rooted in her unwavering commitment to Techno.
Since 2017, Paula has immersed herself in the management of Combine Audio, her label which has become a beacon of Techno excellence. Hosting releases from esteemed artists such as Ben Sims, Ken Ishii, DJ Shufflemaster, Patrik Skoog, Gayle San, DJ Rush, PWCCA, Israel Toledo, Pushmann, Jeroen Search, and a host of emerging talents, Combine Audio has cemented its position as a formidable player in the Spanish Techno scene, garnering widespread support from artists and fans worldwide.
