Best Of Switzerland @ Sektor 11 (05 - Jan - 2022)  [dj set]

I had many discussions with promoters who complained about DJs who put too much energy in an intro set. An "energy flow" in a club or party is essential for a good mood through the whole night. Especially an intro set should prepare for the headliner and not exhaust people in the first hour. 

I am used to play peak time sets as well. Here this is an attempt how I would play an intro set. Keep in mind I usually play at parties with a high energy level overall and therefore you might consider this set as already to energized. Let me know in the comments

This was one of my really first demo tape and created many many years ago. During that time I used DJ Aran as my pseudonym. The early rave sound still has a huge impact on my current music preferences.

NEW TALENT 2023

Plastic Toys welcomes Patrik Widmer with his debut release ACID LOVE. His long-time passion for techno, rave, and especially acid is reflected 100%% in this rave-ready acid track that combines straight-forward techno with an epic melody. Two multi-faceted remixes complete this solid release: Marcel Warren adds a dynamic remix typical to his uncompromisingly driving techno while BlazV embraces the melodic part in his own, unique interpretation.

Acid Love

Patrik Widmer stands for powerful, exuberant techno. A vibe he perfectly reproduces in PAN IS BACK by pairing strong kicks with an epic melody and a cheeky acid line, creating the high level of energy he embodies.

Pan Is Back

I had an inspiring conversation about creating and recording a DJ set at home with my DJ buddy @after.now . 

Recording a set at home in my own space was always a unique challenge for me because I lacked the vibe I get from the dancefloor. DJing in front of a crowd is more about taking them on a journey, and it highly depends on the journey the crowd wants to have. In contrast to recording a set at home, it’s just about my own journey. I decide the direction, I decide the energy, and I decide the story behind the set.

With these inspiring words from Simon, I created this set, just going on a journey where I wanted to go

Patrik Widmer’s long-time passion for early 90s trance, rave, and techno led him to the core element of his music love: the sound of acid produced by the TB303 synthesizer. Inspired by the nights as a raver in the clubs as much as by the mixes of his DJ colleagues, Patrik developed his own signature sound that combines straight techno with acid sounds and subtile melody. Patrik’s energy sets afire the dance floors when he passionately celebrates techno music behind the DJ booth, but also made him take initiative and establish is own events: with his series "Aran and Friends," he promotes Swiss local techno and old-school DJs while his event labels "Zürich Acid Town" and "Planet Techno" bring international acid techno artists to his hometown Zurich. Besides his career as a DJ and promoter, Patrik went into music production and released his first acid techno track “Acid Love” on Plastic Toys at Christmas 2022.
