Yeah, we know, you might have given more notice to the blood and gore of the character from the Bret Easton Ellis novel, but one things for sure: That Patrick Bateman knew how to party and its the same with this one.

Already a household name when the Danish club scene exploded in the late nineties, Kenneth Broxgaard aka. DJ Patrick Bateman has been a key party player for almost two decades. He’s a prime son of a Danish techno/house scene that just keeps on getting better and better and he knows all the artistic effects down to the last beat, from vicious minimalism over luscious deep tech-house.

He started spinning records in the early nineties with the early boy love for Inner City, Italian house and rave music and in the years that followed Patrick Bateman has covered huge amounts of space in an ever curious exploration of electronic party music.

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 a few years later. But minimal techno and house have always taken up major parts of Batemans all-embracing record shelves. Since 99/00, he has been spinning minimal techno and house exclusively German style and with the odd twist of deep house and old school classics thrown in for good measure.

The last 7-8 years, Patrick Bateman has really made his mark. Touring everywhere in Denmark and many venues in Europe, Batemans remarkably energetic, spot free sets have presented the minimal techno/house vibe to an audience thats moved from curious to responsive to exhilarated.

In 2004, Bateman started the label Tic Tac Toe Records. The label is focusing on minimal house and techno, primarily from all the Danish talents, but also with international acts. The first 25 releases are already out, and have been played and charted by all the big DJs and the name Tic Tac Toe has been getting a lot of attention internationally. In Denmark it has led to an award as best label in 2007 and a nomination for best label in 2008. In 2007 Connect Four saw the light. This is the sister label to TTT focusing on deeper sounds.

Bateman has also started producing music, and he is follows his DJ trademark very closely and you can be sure you will hear a lot more from him during the coming years on this front too.

In 2008 Bateman won the award as best upfront DJ of the year at Danish DJ Awards, showing that he is still on forefront of things even after 14-15 years of DJing.

The guy may not be guzzling blood like his alter ego, but hes a superb DJ.
