clubmaster Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Paul Hemming is a creative cyclone: new ideas, artistic visions and music insights spring forth from his otherwise centered body. The Seattle-born and San Francisco-based nightclub and record label owner is also a DJ, filmmaker and dance music producer. In 2007 he launched the Zen Compound, home to the Temple nightclub and Prana restaurant, an ambitious creative site grounded in his love for music, art, Eastern aesthetics and bringing the world together. Like similar large-scale Bay Area music projects (think Burning Man, and the City?s many festivals and street fairs), Temple nightclub and Temple Music Group (TMG) represent Hemming?s integrated artistic vision. His passions and experiences are incorporated throughout all his projects, such as including Asian sculpture in the nightclub space, or the recently released Prana music compilation, which features Eastern-tinged electronic compositions by Hemming and other TMG artists. Launching both the Temple club and label simultaneously illustrates that Hemming has big plans for both his own artistic output and TMG?s growing roster. Hemming?s many music productions span multiple genres from chunky disco grooves through richly melodic house music, solid breakbeak tunes and organic downtempo tracks. A lifelong music connoisseur, Hemming?s years of club, A&R and dance music retail experience is reflected in tracks that are cinematic, passionate and layered with colorful instrumentation. These features are also expressed in Hemming?s Temple nightclub, a multi-level, ecologically sustainable dance venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
