Alan Fitzpatrick's Weekender Playlist

release date (vinyl / cd / digital): 21st of October

“I've intended to do an album for a long while. The tracks draw upon ideas going back to various points over the last 12 years or so - some of the hooks I wrote years ago other bits are brand new. In some ways I wanted it to reflect a personal arc and the way I tend to do things  - never rushed”

‘Frames of Reference’ is the some 12 years in the making debut album from UK based techno producer Ø [Phase].

Best known by his work on the Belgium based Token Records his style ranges from gritty minimal techno to Detroit influenced material. His debut ‘Module Overload’ was released on London’s Lost/Cosmic records in 2000 and was followed by a string of productions for London's Surface/Inceptive Records and Ben Sims Ingoma imprint.

The move to Token came in 2007, he shortly after began DJing professionally and has since performed at parties across the globe whilst becoming a regular guest at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain performing alongside esteemed peers and supporters such as Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki and Ben Klock. His continued works have seen constant support throughout the techno world and have featured in CD mixes by Robert Hood, Dave Clarke, François Kevorkian and Fumiya Tanaka amongst others. Alongside his production work Ø [Phase] is also a mastering engineer and on/off artwork designer. Starting out at London’s prestigious Sony Music/Whitfield Street Studios, he has cut records for numerous underground dance acts as well as working on projects for mainstream artists.

Now after a string of acclaimed releases on Token and a selection of remixes for the likes of Robert Hood, Mark Broom and Peter Van Hoesen comes Ø [Phase]’s debut long-player ‘Frames of Reference’. Opening with the brooding and building swirl of ‘Binary Opposition (Process 3)’ Ø [Phase] sets out his template of evolving, richly textured atmospheres underpinned by shards of dark and light. ‘The Bwiti Initiate’ revolves around a bouncing techno rhythm that could most certainly traverse the house/techno divide whilst ‘Distracted’ and ‘Misaligned’ are the kind of unadulterated, pummeling, cavernous techno tracks that have made Lost such a party institution.
Then we have tracks like the soft beating ‘Just Another Dance’ providing a lighter edge, embellished with warmth and strings and the thick, densely woven tapestry of ‘Shadow Caster’ which goes from experimental to dancefloor and back again with consummate ease. The off-kilter lilt of ‘Perplexed’ drags us further into the dark before keys and a hint of a melody draw us back upwards for air whilst the fat driving bass of ‘Dirtro II’ and funkier edged menace of ‘On The Edge’ show a virtuoso producer at the top of his game. The closing introspection of ‘Self Deceit’ wallows in subtle nuances before a mid section synth and string intervention pulls us back from the brink before finally descending into the void.

“Man Worships Power” is the first in a small series of joint releases between Enemy Records and Emmanuel’s ARTS Records. Like rare split EPs from record labels in the past, each label takes control of one side of the vinyl for a double-sided release. With high mutual admiration between both labels, it was inevitable that a project like this was bound to happen. For this special occasion, we offer a full-sleeve cover with amazing photography from Sander Meisner.

On the first release, label owners Dustin Zahn and Emmanuel each picked two of their favorite tracks from each other. “Bark Like a Dog…” has already received regular play from Truncate and “Cargo” has been a secret weapon among DJs such as Zahn and Rodhad for the better part of a year.

Bark Like A Dog For Me

Jeff Rushin presented himself as one of the biggest icon of Functional Effective Techno, this second EP in the catalog is going further on the sonic spectrum. Tension all over.

"Als ich für ein paar Jahre eine Pause einlegte, sich mit Musik zu beschäftigen, wurde mir klar, dass mein Leben seelenlos geworden bin“, sagt der Musiker @leonardo-global. Er merkte, dass er frei war, als er sich auf der Suche nach ebendieser Freiheit war. „Dieses Gefühl hat mich inspiriert und den Anstoß gegeben, mit dem DJing und Produzieren zu beginnen." (...) Für das Label von @alanfitzpatrick, @wearethebraveofficial, nahm Leonardo die EP „Lifting Spirits“ auf – seine erste Veröffentlichung! „Die Tracks auf der EP wurden in Studio eines Freundes von mir aufgenommen“, sagt der Produzent.

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave has been successfully growing at a steady rate since its inception in 2017. With twelve releases now under its belt, including some mega club bombs like ‘We Do What We Want’, ‘Just One More’ and the mega collab ‘El Jefe’ between Alan and Sascha, the collection of artists releasing on the label are truly diverse. We Are The Brave parties are taking over the UK, showing the foundations have been well and truly laid for another epic year ahead.

One to nurture new talent and put trust into his feelings, Alan brings us a brand new artist, with his very first release of his career, Leonardo. “I recognised something special in the music he played me." says Fitzpatrick

‘Lifting Spirits’ delivers 4 tantalizing tracks, each unique with a unifying energy at their core. ‘Queztal’ with two versions up for grabs, has been a tried and tested track for Alan for much of 2017, which oozes that blissed out end-of-night joy.

“We Are Unity” is maybe the punchiest track of the release. It has that infectious 90’s deep house groove with a truly energetic female vocal. 

"When you hear music this versatile that genuinely makes you stop dead in your tracks it’s not a hard decision to want to support that talent and be a part of realising their potential, regardless of whether they are well known or just starting out” says Alan.

The EP is varied, but with common themes of creative freedom and deeply textured sounds. Instinct, emotions, gut feeling. That's what it’s all about here.

Not known to rest easy, We Are The Brave are back and ready to churn out some mega tunes your way for this summer. Its not like they haven’t done so already with some absolute tunes from Gary Beck, Alan Fitzpatrick, Boxia and the recent vocal slammer ‘Poison’ from the one and only Skream. We’re proud to hear that We Are The Brave tracks have reached clubs and festivals far and wide, road tested to the max and always guaranteed to bring the ‘Rave’ to a town near you.

Whilst we’ve had a few shiny new artists of late, none the less with some insanely massive tracks to fist pump your night to – Linus Quick is a producer who has been around for some time, known for his acid electronica influenced beats. Alan has taken note, and confirms he’s a fan……

"I have been aware of Linus' music for some time, but I really love his current vibe and some of his most recent productions really caught my attention” says Alan.

Taking a new path for this release, both ‘Tethys’ and ‘Nebulas’ are the more down downtempo atmospheric cuts, expansive warped atmospheric synth work accompanied by chiming bell like elements and perfectly balanced percussive drive. 

The chunky brooding synth stabs found in ‘Neso’ joined by that punchy kick drum fire things up, yet the track still remains uplifting. “I'd say there is a lot more to come from him as his sound develops and I am excited to be working with him on We Are The Brave" – Alan

Very much a new sound to be bought to We Are The Brave, and we love it.

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.
