Release Promo 2.0 - MP3 Download Record Pool

As with many DJ’s my story started with my parents at home. We lived in a little village and my dad owned a synthesizer (Roland E-25) and he played a lot on it during the evenings/weekends. When I was 10 my dad gave me my first CD named Oxygene – 16 greatest synthesizer hits (I still have it!). I had a little radio/cd player from Sony and I used to play the CD nonstop.

My first connection with house was also around that time. I discovered radio shows like the powermix and Dance Department. Basically, I was listening to all night until 4am and almost recorded each show on tape so I could listen it back on my walkman. After we moved from the little village to a small city (I was 15), I joined the local radio station as a broadcast engineer and started to support all kind of radio shows. During one of these shows a guy walked in with a bag full of vinyl and started to record a mix after our show was finished. At that moment everything felt into place. I did not take long after I joined him to his weekly trip to the record store (Magik, owned by Tiesto) and I bought my first 3 vinyl records:

DJ Albert & Precision – Say yes
Perpetuous Dreamer – Dust.wav
Midway – Monkey Forrest / Travelling

I did not have money to buy decks (I spend it all on records) so I practiced every free studio hour. The setup was an Aircom broadcast mixer (with very bad EQ and fader starts…) and 2 soundlab turntables which did have a life on their own. Soon we started our own radio show and my DJ career was born.

The years evolved and I played on several (online) radio stations like Renegade, The Towerblocks and Oldskoolravers. Currently I'm hosting a weekly show on Rave-Radio which has been going since 2011. Beside that I'm playing in small venues, festivals and private parties.

Also I'm trying to push my personal Twitch page https://www.twitch.tv/patsja_ and I recently started a Ableton course to get me into production.
