Being raised in the Detroit techno and house scenes will leave a mark. Exposed to this fertile, creative landscape on a weekly basis, experiencing DJs like Mike Huckaby, Theo Parrish, Claude Young, and Jeff Mills taught Patrick Russell the utmost importance of music selection, storied programming, and technical excellence, all of which he has continued to tirelessly hone over decades.

Currently based in Brooklyn, NY, Patrick has achieved numerous career milestones: multiple Mix Of The Year awards from Resident Advisor and Vice; an Art Of DJing feature on RA; a residency at the esteemed Mostra festival in Barcelona; the honor of yearly appearances at festivals in Japan such as Labyrinth, Rural, and Paramount; and presenting long-format narrative sets of up to 24 hours, just to name a few.

Along with playing the most prestigious events around the globe, he continues to deliver rich, sonic experiences back home—as an original resident of the legendary No Way Back events, a resident at The Bunker New York, and gracing every stage at the DEMF/Movement festival in Detroit, including a featured Main Stage appearance in 2024.

Equally at home in the studio, Patrick has created dozens of unique remixes and is in increasingly high demand for his renowned productions. He is constantly editing and re-working older material, ranging from acid to disco to IDM, to include in his sets and challenge the definition of what’s possible—whether it’s on the dance floor or in an experimental listening set, he will stretch the limits of your imagination and rewire the way you think about music.
