Recording as Amen! UK he had a hi-NRG hit with "Passion", released by Deconstruction Records in 1995. 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.

As Paul Masterson presents Sushi he had another hit with "The Earthshaker" in 2002. He has used various recording aliases since 1995, which are listed below. In the United States, his best known production, 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.

He has also worked with Judge Jules, most notably billed as Hi-Gate.
