Paul Massey, known professionally as the DustRoom, is a Sheffield-based drum & bass, breakbeat, and neurofunk producer. For over 30 years, he has used the name the DustRoom across various websites, forums, and platforms such as Discord. Initially adopted as a username, the DustRoom became his DJ alias and later evolved into his brand on Instagram and in music production.
Early Career
[edit]Paul Massey began his musical journey in 1994, working with a collection of analogue synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers such as the Roland TB-303, Juno 60, SH-101, and instruments from Moog Music, Sequential Circuits, and Korg. These tools became central to his development as an artist. Adopting the moniker the DustRoom, he gained experience as a DJ, hosting a regular House music slot on the internet radio station Freakin until its closure.
His use of the DustRoom name on online forums and platforms helped establish an early digital presence, which later became linked to his music.
the DustRoom
[edit]After a hiatus, Massey revived the DustRoom in 2024, using material developed during jam sessions in the COVID-19 lockdowns to produce new drum & bass, breakbeat, and future bass tracks. His release “Break” was covered by several music news, music reviews and music blog websites throughout the world [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. His music quickly gained traction on platforms like Spotify, where it appeared on over 750 playlists and accrued more than 50,000 streams in its first few months.
His releases are through Purple Recordings, with distribution via Dig Dis!, and are available across major streaming platforms and online stores, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and YouTube Music. Later, his music was also made available on Beatport, further expanding his reach in the electronic music scene.
