Patrick has also been DJing for over a decade. He made a name for himself early in his career with his choice, forward-thinking downtempo, experimental trip hop sets, and was an avid turntablist for many years, with a few competitions under his belt. Over the years he became one of Boise's most revered club DJs, playing countless events and shows throughout the city, including nearly eight years of residency at one of Boise's favorite clubs, The Neurolux. Here, he helped pioneer Boise's developing electronic and dance music scene by pushing distinctive genres and styles, and invariably satisfying his fans and audiences. Along the way, he was privileged enough to perform alongside the likes of Battles, edIT, Martyparty, MGMT, The Sword, The Album Leaf, Helio Sequence, Built To Spill, Interpol, El Ten Eleven, Carlos D, Telephone Jim Jesus, and more.
