Bill Patrick - Robots - wearerobots.net
New York has seen many DJ's come and go in its time. The city that never sleeps has seen many clubs come and go as well. In a town where certainty is never guaranteed and change is around every corner, Bill Patrick has managed to maintain a successful and respectful career as one of New York's most exciting DJ's.
Coming from a diverse musical background that included punk, hip hop, new wave, and reggae, Bill's love for dance music began in 1998. He frequented the legendary club Twilo almost every Friday until its closing in 2001. In a short time as a DJ, he has piled up an impressive resume with a residency at New York's famed club Arc (formerly Vinyl), played some of the best clubs throughout the world and has worked alongside many of the scene's most revered DJ's.
Four years ago, he formed the 112 Crew alongside three of his mates, Tom Amoroso, Dennis Rodgers, and Matt Licata. It all began while spinning at after-hour parties from Twilo. Since then, the Crew's own brand of techno/house has caught on like wildfire, affording Bill the opportunity to turn out an amazing landscape of different sounds and moods ranging from the most minimal of house and techno, dub, electro, breaks and always a few other surprises. The 112 Crew held a successful monthly residency at Arc and have turned out many stellar performances at B.E.D. in Miami as well as a much talked about set at Pawnshop at the 2005 Winter Music Conference.
On his own, Bill's passport has filled up quickly with international gigs in Mexico City, Costa Rica, Chile, Buenos Aires, and on to Spain, Italy, England, Finland, Norway, and Germany. A proud moment came in January 2003 in Argentina where Bill played once again for Camel Genuine Sounds under a massive tent in Mar Del Plata. He headlined this 3000 person event playing alongside living legend Ricardo Villalobos and Tobi Neumann. His self confessed home away from home, Argentina has undoubtedly caught on to Bill's talent with numerous tours throughout the years including a 2005 New Years Eve date in Rosario that saw him play for 6 hours in front of 4000 people.
Over the past couple of years, Bill has made quite a mark in Europe as well. Some crowning moments to date have been his mainfloor set at Fabric as well as three dream gigs in Ibiza, including a mainfloor slot at the legendary "We Love..." party at Space, and a fist pumping performance for Circo Loco at DC-10. That set grabbed a bunch of attention and afforded him a chance to play for Circo Loco in Rome and Rimini. Topping off 2003 and kick starting 2004 was a New Years Eve set at the world renowned techno club Tresor in Berlin. A dream come true and a huge achievement for someone with only 5 years behind the decks.
Now a resident at one of the most respected techno nights in the country, ROBOTS, Bill continues to impress and broaden his musical boundaries. His love and dedication for dance music along with his ability to push the envelope have been the driving forces behind his rapid success. It's no wonder he has caught the eye of many world class DJ's such as Lee Burridge and Danny Howells who mentioned him as "The Best Undiscovered DJ" in DJ Mag's 2003 Top 100 issue. In a very short time, he has managed to create quite a buzz for himself as one of the most exciting new DJ's to arrive on the international dance circuit.
