Jennifer Danko ~ photo courtesy of Industry88 ~  Chicago - Bill Patrick (112 Crew, Robots, Made/New York City) has joined the elite roster of international electronic music talent on Gourmet Bookings, a Chicago-based DJ booking agency.

Patrick is already no stranger to global stardom. He an DJs Nick AC and Dennis Rodgers currently make up ROBOTS, a techno collaboration hosting one of New York City’s most successful, weekly club events. Since 2004, the resident trio has hosted the likes of Matthew Dear, Magda and Sven Vath, to name a few. Showcasing a flawlessly blended brand of electro, minimal house and techno, Patrick continues rise to the top of an increasingly crowded underground electronic music scene.

Additionally, the trio took their weekly parties one step further and recently launched an Internet radio show broadcast live on eastvillageradio.com every Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The aptly titled RobotsRadio includes live performances, interviews and promotional giveaways.
Patrick’s signing to Gourmet Roster culminates his years of hard work and self-promotion. The NYC-bred DJ delved into dance music in 1998, when the legendary Twilo nightclub inspired him to take up DJing. In 2001, he formed the 112 Crew with Tom Amoroso, Dennis Rodgers and Matt Licata. Together, they refined their blend of techno and house, infusing sets with elements of breaks, dub electro, and minimal electronica.

His work with the 112 Crew launched an international career that took him to South America and continental Europe. In the past two years, Patrick has debuted on the main floor of England’s prestigious Fabric nightclub and headlined the Cocoon Club in Frankfurt, Germany. Additionally, he landed three dream gigs in Ibiza, including the “We Love…” party at Space and a fist pumping performance for Circo Loco at DC-10. Patrick topped off his string of success with a 2004 New Year’s Eve set at the world-renowned techno club, Tresor, in Berlin, Germany. Patrick earned additional praise from his colleagues when both Lee Burridge and Danny Howells named him 2003’s “Best Undiscovered DJ” in DJ Mag’s 2003 Top 100.

Now that Patrick has signed onto the Gourmet Roster, the secret is out. His signing to Gourmet solidifies his status as a respected global DJ. He joins the ranks of technically elite artists including: Pier Bucci (Crosstown Rebels/London, UK), Terry Francis (Fabric/London, UK) Garth (Grayhound/ San Francisco, Calif.) Damian Lazarus (Crosstown Rebels/London, UK), Mazi (Gourmet/Chicago, Ill.), Paolo Mojo (Music is Freedom/London, UK) and Bryan Zentz (Disruptor/Virginia, US).

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

A couple of folks from our crew participated in a run out at a local elementary school.  The entire schools showed for this one, lined up and ready to be splashed with some colored powder or another. The more they ran the more colorful they became.  Beats all around set a festive tone for everyone. Those of us participating chilled on the playground after a few laps, then joined back in for another lap or two to close out the day.    Free drinks and snacks refreshed those otherwise banned from enjoying the ice cream truck.

  An afternoon focused on technology down at J. Rieger & Co. broke up the week nicely, offering a unique learning experience from Pomerol Partners.  Lunch and presentations associated with machine learning and data stack modernization were followed by a discussion around large language models with a few Kansas City IT leaders.   Immediately following that, Abstract Technologies talked about LATAM opportunities through nearshoring staffing services, followed by Black Khaki Brand Communicators discussing maintenance of organization cultural wellness.  Topping things off like a cherry on top, we learned of a new podcast worth listening in on, entitled " Drinks and Data ," hosted by KC technology leaders Kanon Cozad and Shawn Helwig.
