Who am I? I’m Patrik, and I’ve spent a long time in the electronic music scene, releasing tracks under names Agaric, Headroom and many others. In the late 90s and early 2000s, my solo and collaborative projects found homes on labels like Drumcode, Synewave New York, and Planet Rhythm. Since then, I’ve run the We Are label, released albums on Josh Wink’s Ovum, licensed tracks to Cocoon, and mixed and mastered over 100 artists—many of whom have become repeat clients and good friends. Join me to hear more about my work with clients and the process of producing different styles of music.
