Paul Masterson (born Paul Kevin Masterson)[1] is an Northern Irish DJ and record producer, originally from Belfast and now living in London.

Recording as Amen! UK he had a hi-NRG hit with "Passion", released by Deconstruction Records in 1995.[2] Billboard magazine described it as being "underlined by an intangible but apparent reverence for hi-NRG architects, such as the late Patrick Cowley", praising the track's "crazy-catchy chorus" while slightly criticizing the lack of "meaty" lyrics otherwise.[3]

As Paul Masterson presents Sushi he had another hit with "The Earthshaker" in 2002.[4] He has used various recording aliases since 1995, which are listed below.[5] In the United States, his best known production, The Candy Girls (which featured a transgender American lead vocalist, Sweet Pussy Pauline), reached number 7 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs Chart with "Wham Bam" in 1996.
