Noice! - Episode 125 Agaric (Drumcode | Mad Eye | We Are)
Today on NOICE! we continue our PullProxy series with the wonderful sounds of Agaric. Enjoy the mix. At the end of the 90’s, after releasing the first output as part of “Headroom” on German and American labels, Patrik set up Native Diffusion records in 2000. This mainly featured his own productions and remixes from technoproducers such as Damon Wild, Inigo Kennedy, Takaaki Itoh & Hardcell. 2004 saw Headroom´s debut release on the classic New York-label Synewave getting licensed to the “Exhibitionist” CD and DVD compilation, compiled and mixed by world renowned DJ Jeff Mills, and as the popularity of their style of techno increased over the last years, remix offers also dropped in frequently. Patrik did one for fellow Swede Adam Beyer and his now classic Drumcode imprint, which shortly thereafter lead to more releases on Drumcode, and the sublabel Truesoul… Being a technical Dj with great sense for momentum and trackselection Patrik has played and continues to play praised gigs in the USA, UK, North- and South America, Japan, China and all across Europe. In early 2005 a new project was found in “Agaric” where he explores deeper realms of techno and house and with productions on his well-received labelproject of colored limited ten-inch records entitled “We Are”, Patrik has gained appreciation from dj’s such as Richie Hawtin or James Holden, and you have seen a big change in performances as well as trackwork, where he excurts further and further away from playing the typical hard sound from which he was known, and more often than not he performs a deeper variety of tracks that hints of a new modern take on his early influences from the likes of Robert Hood, Wolfgang Voigt or Plastikman, still with high intensity and energetic rhythmbased sound. Now the Native Diffusion label has since long been put on ice, and in 2007 Patrik started to perform liveacts all over the world with the Agaric project -premiering at one of the leading festivals for innovative electronic music in the Nordic countries “Public Service”. Early that year, nearly a decade after the debut on the Stockholm-label Loop Records and over one hundred vinyl-releases later, Agaric relocated to Berlin and got involved in the ever so evolving and vibrant electronic music scene there, playing gigs at local clubinstitutions such as Watergate, Arena Club, Tresor & Panorama Bar.
