Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Paulo a.k.a. Hoffman began his electronic music journey in 1996 with techno and acid techno. Evolving through trance, he’s known for melodic and groovy beats across psy-progressive and psy-trance styles.
In 2002, he moved to Barcelona, collaborating with local crews and playing major festivals like Sunrite and Boom. He also co-organized the Omni Festival and became a label DJ for Virustekk Records.
Highlights include playing Uzumaki II in Holland, New Year Freaks Blast in Portugal, and festivals in France. Currently open to projects, he’s eager to connect with global organizers.
After a lifetime immersed in trance & various forms of electronic music, my creative journey began back in 2009 when I started learning to DJ. Not long after I began playing PsyTrance sets for the MerKaBa Tribe parties & festivals across Jersey & the Channel Islands, which felt amazing, seeing so many happy smiley people, dancing, laughing, connecting….I wanted more 🙂
Pretty soon after, I turned my focus towards my real passion, the wonderful world of psychedelic chill out. This music has done so much good for me, I struggle to put this into words. It has lifted my broken spirit more times than I can remember, in ways that feel deeply healing & nourishing. This was it, this was what I wanted to focus on, creating musical journeys that help heal & nourish us, help recalibrate & come back to ourselves in this crazy, crazy world. If I can even help one person then that is enough.
My ‘Dreamtime Diaries’ series of psybient / psychill mixes is a great example of this work, covering all facets of the psybient world. Around 2017, I lowered the tempo again, creating ambient journeys for use in mediation, yoga, treatments, ceremony or any other situation where genuine immersion into the moment is required.
Around 2012, I branched out into music production. In 2016 I released my debut EP, and have been creating weird or wonderful sounds since then. Also in 2016, I co-founded the Unity Tribe Collective which hosted local trance parties, with the intention of bringing the local community together. Currently I am enjoying playing a monthly chill out radio show for Widgeon Airwaves & am working towards my latest EP, which will hopefully be out later this year.

Trala Lama, a veteran of the global chillout music scene is presently incarnated in The Netherlands. His love for outdoor parties and festivals is strongly influenced by an experience in his childhood. At the age of seven, he was forced to attend the local music school on Wednesday afternoons, but after three Wednesdays of crying out loud, his parents decided it was better for him to quit the music school and play outside once again. This experience left a lasting impact on him, shaping his musical journey and inspiring his dedication to the outdoor party scene so he decided to be a DJ.
With a deep understanding of the power of other peoples music and a wealth of experience what not to play at a certain moment his sets are defined by intricate beats, psybientish soundscapes and weird or organic psycho-ethnic textures.
Trala Lama continues to inspire and push the boundaries of what is possible in the ever-changing electronic music landscape on the road to Lamastan
