FFM229.2 | MIKE DERER

Smartbar Resident, Chicago 
Format Recordings 

Scientist by day, DJ by night. Brenda's life is a dynamic blend of science and music. A classically trained pianist and saxophonist, music has been a lifelong defining force. Active in Chicago's underground scene since the late 90s, Brenda is now a Smartbar resident, A&R for Format Recordings, and co-curator of Format events and the Format.FM podcast series. She creates a symbiotic relationship with the dance floor, feeding off its energy and giving it back tenfold, drawing inspiration from soulful jazz, dark, gritty drum & bass, and beyond. While her sets maintain consistent themes of darker, harder, hypnotic techno, she also explores moments of ethereal sound, harmonious melodies and jackin' stompers. An advocate for women in both music and science, Brenda, who holds a PhD in molecular and cellular biochemistry, champions diversity in all pursuits. She finds mentoring deeply rewarding and is committed to giving back to the underground culture—building community, fostering connections, and empowering others.

Jason Patrick’s lineage connects two of the most influential cities in electronic music: Chicago and Detroit. His unique sonic fingerprint combines influences from both cities, honing in on that unmistakable Detroit spirit, while harmoniously incorporating a subtle influence from the Windy City. As a highly-skilled, dynamic selector, he’s been a resident at Chicago’s infamous Spybar with travels across the USA, hitting cities like Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Detroit respectively. He’s also been booked to play in Europe, appearing at Tresor in Berlin and Plastic in Milan.

Equally adept in the studio, he channels years spent refining his technical skills into tracks that have landed on labels such as KMS, Peer, TMM, Future Arkive, and 4trk. His tracks have been played by artists such as Luke Slater, Tensal, Lewis Fautzi, and Philippa Pacho. Equipped with deep knowledge, superlative skills, and a progressive, driven attitude towards his work, Jason Patrick is one of the lynchpins of Chicago techno.
