About the Artist:
DENIS HORVAT:
Copenhagen based Denis Horvat has quickly become a hot topic in the underground music industry, with his melodic signature sound. A self educated producer with a quite simple musical background as a drummer, he managed to put himself on the map, with releases on Innervisions, Afterlife and Diynamic.
Born to Croatian parents in Frederiksvaerk, a small village 60km north west of Copenhagen, Denis grew up on a musical education of his Dad’s 80s records, with favorites including Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, Blondie and Kiss. Shortly after, at 10-years-old, his cousin introduced him to The Prodigy, starting a long- term love affair with electronic music that hasn’t subsided since.
Denis’ studio set up is stacked with analogue gear, resulting in what he describes as the “synthesizer techno” he makes. And the Dane is also a talented remixer to boot, with his rework of WhoMadeWho ‘Dynasty’ being almost omnipresent on dancefloors.
But despite the fact he focused on production in the early years of his career, Denis has fast established himself as a dj. Focusing on detailed tracks, with selections that weave a tapestry from start to finish, his sets have resulted in Horvat now regularly sharing the bill with some of the world’s most revered selectors, including the likes of Âme, Dixon and Maceo Plex.
PATRICE BAUMEL:
Patrice Baumel is a Lisbon-based Du and producer who has carved a unique path through the world of techno. His releases on influential labels such as Kompakt, Afterlife, Anjunadeep, Crosstown Rebels or Get Physical have contributed to lovtu moments on dance floors around the world.
A lot of who Patrice is today is a reflection of his upbringing. Born into Communist East Germany, his musical imprinting was heavily influenced by his father - a music journalist - who exposed him to a vast array of music from a very young age. Many thousands of hours spent listening built the foundation of his musical universe. Strong influences were bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure and Yello.
In 2005, Patrice released his first record, "Mutant Pop" on Cologne based imprint Trapez. A few years later, his strangely unique but powerful track "Roar" on Get Physical was picked up by DJs worldwide and gave him a first modest breakthrough on the international scene.
The intention is to create meaningful real-world human connection and fostering a culture of participation instead of mere consumption. This incapsulates Patrice's philosophy who sees music first and foremost as a tool to bring people together and create a sense of oneness.
The lights go off. The record starts. We dance.
