HEALTHYBEATZZ Podcast - Episode #4

Patrick GABIN aka Moody Pat is a young, cutting edge DJ. Born in the French Caribbean he moved to Paris as a youngster and as such his musical influences draw on both French and Caribbean heritages, alongside a ‘if the beat moves me I’ll work with it’ approach that has led him to develop a signature eclectic sound. 

Patrick GABIN found himself growing up in an era, which embraced both Hip-hop, Rnb and Funk, also called ky-fun (French slang). He used to listen to Radio Nova (Rap radio station), who were famous for their long DJ sets without talking. It was here that Patrick learnt about the intricacies of building a set and how different music could be woven together to create a certain feeling and to take the listener on a musical journey. 

In the early 90's the electronic music scene appeared and started to spread through radio stations in France. Patrick started to follow this extraordinary movement with unshakeable intrigue. If he could, Patrick would love to go back in time and be a pivotal part of the Palace Club, famous for being one of the first venue in Paris where people (politicians, models, celebrities, punk rockers, music artists, homosexuals), were often found mixing together, rocking the dance-floor no matter what their background, skin color, or wallet value.

His DJ story began when he moved to London around 2004. He fell in love with this energetic city and its cosmopolitan mix of peoples and music genres. He bought his  1st Technics turntables a mixer and a few records. At that point he knew that his life was going to change, and felt that he had truly found his calling.
