Patrick Bateman - Riding The Thin Line - Aug 2008

Biography of Patrick Bateman

In January '98, Peter Lundgreen started The Rocket Club, a monthly based techno and house club with both local and international DJs and live acts – and of course Bateman and Lundgreen as resident DJs. This club is now a very well known name in the Danish clubbing encyclopaedia.

Musically, Detroit techno and Chicago house made a huge impact on Patrick Bateman in ’95 – and so did the looping mono techno from Sweden and the UK in ’98. But minimal techno and house have always taken up major parts of Bateman’s all-embracing record shelves. Since ‘99/’00, he has been spinning minimal techno and house exclusively – German style and with the odd twist of electro and old school classics thrown in for good measure.

The last 4-5 years, Patrick Bateman has really made his mark. Touring everywhere in Denmark and many venues in Europe, Bateman’s remarkably energetic, spot free sets have presented the minimal techno/house vibe to an audience that’s moved from curious to responsive to exhilarated.

The guy may not be guzzling blood like his alter ego – but he’s a superb party DJ.

In 2004, Bateman started the label Tic Tac Toe Records. The first release is due October 2004 and features Hansen & DJ Daniel, with remixes from Ozy and Gabriel Ananda amongst others. Upcoming releases include Mike Shannon, Jeff Milligan, Brian Aneurysm and Theodor Zox. The label will be focussing on minimal house and techno, primarily from all the Danish talents, but also with international acts.

He started touring abroad in '99 and that has until now brought him to places like:

Boomerang, Bratislava/Slovakia
U-Club, Bratislava/Slovakia
Neue Heimat, Stuttgart/Germany
Metro Klub, Sala/Slovakia
Think House, Think Techno, Cascais/Portugal
