Best Paige Tomlinson Songs
Her three releases in three years tell one story: from Liverpool underground raw to a polished Positiva landing.
Where It All Clicks: Listen 2 Me
Press play on Listen 2 Me (Positiva, 2025) and you're hearing where Paige Tomlinson's production has actually arrived. Not a step forward, but a destination. Landing on Positiva, one of dance music's most established houses, signals how far she's come in three years. The track is the clearest snapshot of what she can do when she's been given the room to do it. If you only listen to one, this is it.
The Release That Made the Case
Welcome to the Party EP (Dansu Discs, 2024) is where the 90s influence comes through clearest. Think the swagger of Klubbheads or Bass Bumpers reworked for a modern room. It's the release that built her reputation on Dansu Discs and set up everything that came after. Somewhere between this and Listen 2 Me is the moment she stopped proving herself and started delivering.
The Foundation
Butts Bumpin' EP (Dansu Discs, 2023) is where you hear what she's built everything on. Raw Liverpool underground energy filtered through those 90s club records she grew up with: R.M Project, Direct 2 Disc. Play this back-to-back with the newer material and the production sharpens in real time.
The Deeper Catalogue
Archie Hamilton's MicroHertz label also holds material from Tomlinson. If you're building a proper picture of her catalogue rather than just the highlights, that's worth tracking down alongside the Dansu Discs and Positiva releases. It fills out the full arc without changing the trajectory.
How to Hear Them in Order
Chronological is best: Butts Bumpin' EP, then Welcome to the Party EP, then Listen 2 Me. That way you're not just hearing three tracks; you're tracking her growth from underground opener to festival-ready producer.
