I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Patch is known and loved in Adelaide and Australia for his impeccable mixing ability and dynamic track selection.
He has a reputation for “blitzing the touring internationals” and has been told by legendary DNB heavyweights Pendulum that “he is the best dnb DJ in Australia.”
Receiving ‘Most Popular Drum & Bass DJ” Award at the South Australian Dance Music Awards 2003/04/05/06 & polled
in the top 5 (out of 5 South Australians) for inthemix.com.au Most Popular Australian DJ Poll 2005/06 – he was
among two other dnb dj’s listed nationwide.
Patch is not a DJ that can be pigeonholed into one sub genre of drum and bass or even purely into drum and bass,
although dnb is where he has his roots most firmly planted. His ability to make the smoothest transition from the
liquid and cruisy style of dnb to the harder edgier tracks is rarely matched by other DJs.
Patch leaves crowds wanting more every time he steps up behind the decks, not just in his hometown of Adelaide
but across the country at some of the hottest clubs - Heat, Drum Club, Frequency, Swan Barracks – Perth, BrokenBeat Assault, Soulaar,
Blaze, the Lounge, Revolver, Federation Square, Pure, Brown Alley – Melbourne, Halo – Hobart.
Playing at the massive rock music Falls Festival 2004 and touring with some of Australia’s best DJ’s & live acts in the
Nokia Terminal 9 Tour 2004 have allowed Patch to showcase his break beat sounds to appreciative audiences that
may not have been exposed to the genre if it weren’t for the promoters’ belief in his ability to captivate and
motivate an energetic crowd response.
Patch has played and continues to play with some of the biggest international dnb DJs such as Andy C,
Grooverider, Marky, Pendulum, Ed Rush, Optical, Friction, Storm, Bailey, Concord Dawn, Trace, Fierce, Break, TeeBee, Calyx, Calibre, Shimon, Big Bud,
Sonic, London Electricity, Goldie, Bryan G, DJ Lee, Mampi Swift, Roni Size, Dkay, Marky, Kenny Ken, Mosus + more. “He’s one
of the few DJs that can follow up after an international act and keep the dance floor rocking.”
In between gigs and making music, Patch hosts a weekly radio show – ‘Rollerz’ on Fresh FM 92.7mhz with his
partner in crime MPK from 8 -10pm and once a month plays host to his own DNB night with DJ Fiction called Funk
Shop.
With so many opportunities and projects on the go it will be interesting to see and hear what Patch comes up
with next…one thing is for sure, based on previous ventures – and that’s that he will continue to have the punters
moving and shaking.
