A man who needs little introduction, Southampton born techno legend Alan Fitzpatrick has spent the last decade carving out his musical niche and holding rank in the upper echelons of the underground electronic world. Few artists can claim to have headlined Berghain and also had a hit on daytime BBC Radio 1, but then there aren’t many artists like Alan Fitzpatrick. 

One of the most popular techno DJs in the world, he has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Carl Cox and Adam Beyer for the best part of a decade, performing at the world’s biggest clubs and festivals. Known primarily for his raw hard-edged sound, Alan has developed into one of dance music’s most versatile producers, equally at home putting out techno bangers on Drumcode as he is making disco-infused house anthems, or experimental electronica under his 3STRANGE alias, not to mention his impressive range of collaborations (including CamelPhat, Skream, Sasha, Rebūke and Jamie Jones). 

The We Are The Brave and Apex Faction label don adopts a no nonsense approach to A&R and in 5 short years Alan has welcomed some of Techno’s finest producers to his fold. The Englishman champions the musical output of both established artists and breakthrough alike, accumulating over 50 million Spotify Streams on We Are The Brave records since its inception in 2016. Fast-forward to 2021 and the southern powerhouse shows no sign of slowing down, his passion for music permeating all aspects of his career. The WATB frontman is renowned for curating an evening of exceptional magnitude, having already showcased his roster’s talent at The Warehouse Project, Shine Belfast, SWG3 Glasgow and the infamous Fabric nightclub in London.

This very well known artist from the west of Andalusia (south of Spain) starts his professional career in 1987. His talent has placed him at the front of the electronic scene, managing techno and breaks styles. His name is seen in all the nightclub flyers and sells records throughout the whole world. 

The entire story began when he decided to create a radio-show where used to play tracks from important groups such us Front 242, Nitzer EBB, 808 State, Orbital.. among others. In 1990 he left the radio station and took part in a new group project called The End, which used to play techno-pop in all its variants with straight influences of hip-hop, but this didn't take much long. 

From 1993 on, Rasco was already one of the best known deejays of his county, while used to play in the most famous nightclubs of his city introducing new styles such us Trance, Acid Techno, Goa, Jungle.. Soon, all the clubbers were familiar with his name which was seen in all rave and party flyers of Sevilla, Cadiz, and Málaga, and he quickly became the representative deejay of his county (Huelva).
 
After five years of constant work, he fund his actual booking agency and promoter. Another Dimension.., with the only purpose of organising parties to show new electronic music tendencies. At the beginning of the new millennium, he was booked by one of the biggest promoter companies of Andalusia, Satisfaxion, which carried out a big amount of important festivals such us ElectroMusicParadise, Tribal Nation, Esparrago Rock, SFX Live Dance Festival.. which helped him to grow in popularity. In these venues, he played techno and breaks with important deejays such us Adam Beyer, Rino Cerrone, Richie Hawtin, Kenny Larkin, Anthony Rother, Vicenzo, Adam Freeland, Freq Nasty, Rennie Pilgrem, Atomic Hooligan, Phanton Beats, Hybrid.. among the most important ones. 

In 2001 he began to work in his own records shop Another Dimension Records, one of the most famous ones of Andalusia at the moment. In 2002, he published six releases using the pseudonym SFX Beats, two of them under Future Funk Squad´s label Re:connect Records (one of his most important hits was SFX Beats 001 ..Serious Sound.., 1500 sold). 
Soon, the most important BreakBeat radio stations of London (Pyrotecnic, BreaksFM, and IBreaks) showed a great interest in him. Then, Rasco started to perform live shows in these stations and almost immediately he took part of the BreaksFM group whereas his popularity grew throughout the English crew. Then, he was booked for playing in UK Weekender Festival with important artists like Dj Hype, Zinc, Ed Rush & Optical, Friction.. and is waiting at the moment for important dates as the one at Fuse or Brixton. 

The last Essential Breaks compilation is mixed by Rasco, and his name is found in other important compilation like N-mity Sound Records or Duplate Records. He also has lots of published remixes in Spain as the one under Nitro´s label, Future Breakz (001 ..Lookin at the future rmx..) and new works such us the seven Pirate Records releases. 

At the moment, Rasco is working with Dj Quest (London) in a project where the most important BreakBeat deeyais of England are taking part in: Cyberdimension Booking Agency, with the exclusivity of Autobot (BotchitBreaks Rcs), Deep Impact (Cyberfunk Rcs), Distortionz (Bass Invaders), ED209 (Wireframe Rcs), Mutiny (Funkatech), Breakfastaz (Cyberfunk Rcs), Ollywood (Hardcore Beats), Odissy (Cyberfunk Rcs), Napt (Plastic Raygun), Drunken All Stars (Unstable Rcs), Bill Vega & New Decade (Full intect Rcs), Mc KenMac (Cyberfunk Rcs), and Dj Era (Unstable Rcs). 

At the same time, Rasco is the owner of a new Spanish BreakBeat label called Selecta Breaks Rcs, which counts with the collaboration of Future Funk Squad, Peter Paul, Transformer Man.. among others. The label has published only one release in September and was an important hit among bestsellers:

He is well known in Portugal by his Techno sessions at Kadoc (Algarve), one of the most important nightclubs of the whole European geography, but BreakBeat is his main objective.
