Alan Fitzpatrick (Live)

.2009 was Alan Fitzpatrickʼs year. Having enjoyed a rapid ascent from new kid on the techno block to a highly respected and in-demand producer, the last half of 2009 saw Alan go from strength to strength with critical acclaim for his productions and demand for his DJing coming from all corners of the globe. Currently locked away in the studio writing his debut album for Adam Beyerʼs Drumcode label, this highly anticipated long-player marks the culmination of a run of hot productions that led to him being publically namechecked as a one of the most exciting producers in techno by Adam Beyer, Dubfire and Carl Cox and a BBC Radio 1 Essential New Tune for his anthemic Reflections single on Bedrock. Such was his dominance that at one point in September Alan had an amazing eight tracks in Beatportʼs techno Top 100.



Alan goes into the start of the new decade on a real high. Having scored a prestigious Radio 1 Essential New Tune for his massive “Reflections” track on Bedrock, Alan went on to dominate Beatportʼs techno Top 100 chart through the Autumn with releases on Drumcode, Bedrock, Figure, Size, Sprout and Curfew. As if 2009 could not have been any better, Alan rounded off the year with one of the best received tracks from Adam Beyerʼs epic Remainings III remix package to follow his chart topping EPʼs for Drumcode (Static and Face Of Rejection) and fresh sounding and cutting edge remixes for Frankfurt imprint Weave Music and Paolo Mojoʼs Oosh Records.



Already a firm favourite of Adam Beyer, Len Faki, Dubfire, Fergie, Nic Fanciulli, John Digweed, Carl Cox, Christian Smith, Steve Angell and Slam, Alan's own skills behind the decks are first class. A skilled and dynamic exponent with Abelton Live and Native Instrumentʼs Traktor software, his bigroom techno and tech house sound has seen him draw crowds across Europe. December 2009 saw Alan touching down at Berlinʼs Berghain for Drumcodeʼs end of year spectacular where Alan played alongside Adam Beyer, Paul Ritch, Joseph Capriati and Joel Mull. What better way to cap off a year which has seen Alan showcase his in-demand sound for Bedrock at Matter London, Time Machineʼs 6th Birthday in Budapest, KiWi in Lithuania and an amazing sell out show at Amsterdamʼs Studio 80. Rapidly approaching twenty releases, Alanʼs 8 Sided Dice Recordings receives fantastic DJ support and has established itself as an attractive home to high profile artists. In addition to original tracks and remixes from Alan himself, 8 Sided Dice has featured productions from Joey Beltram, Heiko Laux, Marco Bailey & Tom Hades, Gene Le Fosse, Fergie, Reset Robot, Rich Jones, Sian, Nihil Young, Miniminds, Pirupa & Pigi, Rocha & Lewinger, Paolo Mojo, Erphun and D-Nox & Beckers
