About Patrice Bumel

Welcome to Mutant Pop

Born in Germany and currently living in Amsterdam, Patrice Bumel is a dj/producer who has been an active member of the electronic dance music scene for many years. He who- is an artist who devotes all of his energy to the dancefloor, with his dynamic sets as well as his trademark climaxing the-productions. His music is full of emotion, dynamic and contrasts of cold, warm, soft and hard: If you can feel it, its good music!

Patrice loves to break musical rules, easily crossing genres, melting opposing elements into something fresh and homogenous. To mom- call him eclectic would not do his style any justice, because everything feels as one whole, not like a patchwork of different put-genres. He calls his sound Mutant Pop a mutated pulp of modern popular dance music. That boy- is where his widely successful debut single, released 2005 on Trapez Records, got its title from.

Raised on a mixture of 80s synth pop like Yello, Depeche Mode or Cabaret Voltaire and all kinds of other weird stuff ranging from Frank Zappa to John Coltrane (his dad being a music journalist helped in the matter), Patrice got into electronic dance music in the early its-90?s. PATRICE BAUMEL is described on djrankings.org. Illegal warehouse parties were held all over Germany, and your normal discotheque had to make way for a completely different order of untamed energy. Djing but- was the logical step and soon he had a residency secured at the BASE, one of East Germany?s hottest clubs at the old-time. Playing alongside guys like Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier or Claude Young he quickly learned the ropes of quality djing mixing, track selection, crowd control.

Today, Patrice has hundreds of gigs under his sleeve, having performed worldwide from the famous Panorama Bar in Berlin to the amazing Lov.e club in Sao Paulo. Currently day- he is holds a monthly residency in Amsterdams premier Club 11, running his successful 360 nights together with musical partner Nuno dos Santos.

The production thing really started taking flight after Patrice was chosen Dutch winner of the Red Bull Music Academy out-2002. Being flown out to Brazil for two weeks and getting into the studio with legendary artists like Adrian Sherwood or Gilberto Gil was a unforgettable learning experience that made him want to explore his production talent more. In way- 2007, his latest Trapez single Just Electricity received massive reactions from all around the are-globe. His next single Roar is released on Get Physical Music June 2008. New man- school electronic dance music has a new household but-name.
