comes from Apocalypse Now curator and Ceoltronic Radio presenter Will

About Alan Fitzpatrick:
2011 was the year Alan Fitzpatrick made the transition to become a
globally recognized talent. Having enjoyed a rapid ascent since his
emergence as the new kid on the techno block in the latter half of 2008,
Fitzpatrick now enjoys a status as a highly respected and in-demand
producer and DJ. Asked to compile a converted BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix
in November 2011, Alan responded with a two-hour snapshot of exclusive
productions and unreleased tracks that generated an overwhelmingly
positive reaction from old and new fans alike. Coming off the back of
high profile releases for Adam Beyer's Drumcode (Human Reason
collaboration with Beyer himself), John Digweed's Bedrock label (Moon
Palace was awarded a BBC Radio 1 Essential New Tune) and Alan's own 8
Sided Dice imprint (Alan's First Times collaboration with techno pioneer
Cari Lekebusch was the 2011 highlight) there can be few followers of
techno worldwide who would not recognize Alan Fitzpatrick as one of the
most influential artists of the moment. With more music forthcoming on
Drumcode; collaborations planned with Gary Beck and Joseph Capriati and
debut tours of South America, Asia and Australia to come in 2012, there
will be even fewer who have yet to discover Alan Fitzpatrick by the end
of the year.
It has been Alan's partnership with Adam Beyer's
Drumcode label that has produced his most significant work to date;
releasing three chart topping EP's (Static, Face Of Rejection, Insurgent
Series) in addition to his Shadows In The Dark album - the first act to
record an album on Drumcode since 2005 and latterly remixed by Adam
Beyer & Jesper Dahlback, Mark Broom and Gary Beck - plus the
universally supported Human Reason collaboration with Adam Beyer and
Alan's Running Backwards contribution to the labels 15 Year Anniversary
compilation. Elsewhere, Fitzpatrick's releases for Bedrock (Reflections,
Moon Palace) and his own 8 Sided Dice imprint (First Times
collaboration with Cari Lekebusch, Blixx, The Heist, Straw Hats,
Amsterdam, 9 Hours Later) have raised the young producers profile to a
level where his remix services have been recruited by John Digweed,
Slam, Joey Beltram, Timo Maas, Dustin Zahn & Joel Mull, Pascal
Mollin, Alex Bau and Sian. Indeed, such has been Fitzpatrick's dominance
of the techno scene since his emergence that it is clear this is an
artist with a flourishing career ahead of him.
The same
unstoppable momentum has come to characterize Alan's style of techno;
powering demand for his music worldwide, and filling his gig diary with
weekends spent touring Europe, North America and South America as a
bonafide member of techno's producer vanguard. Focusing on his trademark
sound of tough, hooky grooves and incendiary beats, Alan is an
intuitive and dynamic DJ who is enjoying the new lease of life that
Pioneer CDJ2000 players have brought to the art of DJing. Alan's
big-room techno sound has seen him consistently draw crowds in Germany
(Tresor, Rote Sonne, Club Lehmann, Universal DOG), France (Rex, Batafor,
Inox, Spartacus, SKandalo) The Netherlands (Paradiso, Westerunie, Sugar
Factory, Doornroosje, Poema), UK (Fabric - including NYE 2011 w/ Adam
Beyer and Slam, The Arches) Italy (Old River Park, Rasmonan), USA
(Sullivan Rooms New York, Incognito Los Angeles, Treehouse Miami),
Switzerland (La Zoo, D-Club, Das Schiff) and Eastern Europe (Kiwi
Lithuania, Forsage Ukraine) plus Drumcode events at SW4 Festival London,
Berghain Berlin, Ewer Street Warehouse London, Awakenings Rotterdam and
as well as key festivals including Piknic Electronik Montreal, Kazantip
Ukraine, Streetparade Zurich, Refresh Portugal and Sziget Hungary.
