Patrick grew up in Pasadena, TX, a few blocks from Gilley’s, a honkey tonk made famous from the film, Urban Cowboy. Growing up going to rodeos and demolition derby’s as a kid, he started recording live broadcasts of Club 6400 on 93Q. Influenced by the music selection and the dj mixes, he had his Grandfather drive him to record stores in downtown Houston to find this music. 

His vinyl collection started with 80s Industrial club hits from Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Tribantura and 80s house classics from A Guy Called Gerald, Danielle Dax and 808 State. After clubbing in NYC and playing gigs in lounge/bars in Tribeca, he dove into books like Mel Cheren’s biography, My Life In The Paradise Garage and Vince Aletti’s Disco Files, further expanding his interest in the music played in Mancuso’s The Loft, Siano’s The Gallery and Levan’s Paradise Garage and dancing at Danny Krevit’s 718 parties. Digging in NYC record stores like Village Music World, A1 Record Shop and Brooklyn’s Academy Records, Captured Record Shop and Superior Elevation further expanded his collection into dance floor Rock, Funk, Soul and deep Disco classics. 

Currently, he is djaying at bars and clubs in NYC like Public Records with monthly gigs at Harder’s ConTEAnental, Animal, Exley and C‘mon Everybody and releasing DJ edits while searching for that perfect sound system that elevates the experience of clubbing and brings people from all walks of life together on a dance floor.
