Chris Crowther

Patrik Berg, born in 1985 in Bonn. His parents came to Germany as immigrants, his Father from Syria and his mother from Sweden. Music was the only constant in his teenage years. It was his early 20’s when he experienced a set from Gregor Tresher at Boothaus, that the passion for dance music was solidified. He developed respect and found inspiration in artists including Chris Liebing, DJ Rush and Sven Väth. Studying a bachelor’s degree in audio engineering and music production at the SAE Institute in Cologne, he started to produce some of his first tracks. After a friend heard some of his music, he was asked to play at an afterhours every Sunday in the city in 2013. Although saying yes, he has never played to a crowd, so two weeks of intense practice at home began.... Little did he know that gig would then set off his DJ career and lead him to where he is today. Patrik has since played some of the worlds most loved and established festivals and clubs around the world including; Womb in Tokyo, EGG in London, Sisyphos in Berlin, Odonien in his hometown of Cologne. Powerful, energetic and euphoric are words which have been used when describing his production style. Notable releases came in the form of his ‘My Moog’ EP landing on Christian Smith’s Tronic imprint in 2017 which marked his first international release. Shortly followed by his ‘Running Numbers’ EP on Filth On Acid which became a hit internationally – played by Charlotte De Witte, Deborah De Luca and Reiner Zonneveld. Monika Kruse’s Terminal M imprint has been Patrik’s main release home since 2018, with 3 EP’s and his track ‘Galactica’ featured on a label VA. His debut with the ‘Discovery’ EP was also his first time Beatport techno chart topper, landing in at the No.3 position and remains his best-selling vinyl and streamed track via Spotify of all time. Not forgetting releases on the legendary Carl Cox’s Intec where his remix of ‘Free’ remain his favourite release he has done to date.
