Being quoted by his peers as "Mr. Techno" this humble encyclopedia of electronic music knowledge has been there, and done that, and found ways to capture the imagination of others through his music forever. Pat passed away from ALS on 3/2021 after his 40th birthday, and created music without the use of his hands up until his passing.

Pat Fontes' love affair with music began at the tender age of 11 during the early 90s- collecting mix tapes he’d purchased at the local Portuguese market. As a teen he quickly progressed to buying records en mass of garage and house vinyl. By 16 Pat started DJing throughout Boston, and by the early 2000s was managing and later became owner of Satellite Records. During this time Pat was also a resident DJ and manager of the long standing often heralded, Midweek Techno in Cambridge with buddies Soul Clap. As a 22-year industry veteran and local hero Pat Fontes has shared the stage with the likes of Martin Buttrich, Paco Osuna, Timo Maas, Cassy, Pan Pot, The Orb, and Patrice Bamel. 

Pat’s production style is uniquely his own ranging from upbeat tech house to deep melancholic techno and house. His discography includes releases with Slumber (Amber Cox & Oona Dahl), Martin Eyer, and Derek Marin. 

In 2017, after being diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) Pat began focusing all of his energies towards his love of music and sharing that passion with others.

“My emotions run much deeper than I could imagine and I’ve been learning how to leverage this creatively. I haven’t stopped doing what I love for 21 years- and will continue ‘til I physically can’t, and have since left my mark on this world of music and beyond.”


Fontes is excited to share his upcoming release on Re.tune and Future is Now Recordings with the world, as well as some gems from techno’s past, present, and future

Four Points are a London-based production collective behind the label @engage-audio-uk. Their production ethos is similar to that of their label - underground drum and bass with depth, soul and substance.

You might know DJ Warden from his Rough Tempo shows, his work with Core Alliance Audio, his monumental “WarDubz” sets alongside Lady V Dubz, or simply as a regular fixture at some of the biggest DnB raves around, but, pay attention, there's a lot more to come.

Born into music (his dad being the lead singer of the pioneering jazz-funk band Light of the World) it was inevitable he was going to be a high-achiever in the scene. With early years spent imbibing funk, soul, and hip-hop, he discovered a life-long passion for DnB at the age of just twelve. A few years later he acquired his first set of decks, and the ascent hasn't stopped from there. Now, things are progressing to the next stage as he makes moves into production.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled as this is only the beginning of his journey….

[SHVA]:.


SHVA is New England’s scenes embodiment of the Techno Viking. With high energy DJ sets and his unstoppable music production blitzkrieg, this man is clearly on a mission to RAVE-and-pillage. This absolute monster of bass-forward craziness, channels North Uk wonky and energetic vibes in his music. Signed to BlackFox Records, Checkout Records, 4x4 Syndicate, SubSound, IN:Flux Audio & Project AllOut Records in the UK, With forthcoming tings on Manuka Records, WidFam, Simply Deep & Fursty Records,  and getting airplay in the UK, calling this production powerhouse “Up and coming” would be a massive understatement, SHVA has already made it. But no one handed him a cookie-cutter or a clone stamp to craft his music, his tracks are pure original techno viking ; SHVA is on the warpath.

Keep up with him on his facebook and Soundcloud for all of his newest productions!
