Patrick Russell is a true veteran of the underground, perhaps one of the last unsung heroes of a now lost era in the Midwest. He magically transforms the diaspora of pure jack energy into a fluent sonic dialog that never fails to devastate both minds and dance floor. 

A Detroit-bred DJ, artist and producer since the early 90's, Patrick has now made Brooklyn his home. His lengthy resume includes such highlights as an exclusive 2007 set with Jeff Mills in Detroit, performing at the 2001 & 2008 DEMF/Movement festivals in Detroit, more recent appearances at Boiler Room, Unsound, and BEMF in New York, to being a key figure in the now legendary No Way Back parties. In addition, he has been steadily building a strong catalog of high-profile remixes to compliment his increasingly varied and in-demand DJ sets.

His consummate taste and ecstatic yet disciplined execution have created a respect that cannot be purchased. Patrick is not just one to watch, he is one to be experienced.

GhostlyCast #52: Patrick Russell - Innsmouth Shadow

Today I am sad

A Night in Berlin challenges the idea of compressing a several-hour experience into a three-minute piece.  It focuses on exhibiting a personal sonic odyssey while communicating a subjective emotional experience. It interprets and establishes musical time both metaphorically and literally, since sound sources are introduced in a chronological sound-walk order and their individual rhythmic and occasional tempo-based character is apparent. The composition also implies and attempts to resemble an almost inescapable everyday fact: the continuous bombarding of external sound sources that follow us each time we find ourselves in an environment, often even as a reminiscence. 'I decided to limit this work into three minutes in order to faithfully reflect my psychological interpretation of the night and provide the conventional outlook on society’s daily experience; the experience of anticipating the next event and not fully encountering and comprehending what is happening at the present moment'. All sounds were recording in Berlin with the Zoom H5 recorder.
