PTCHWRK

Synthesized basses and hybrid, electronic-organic percussion are the heart and main focus of the PTCHWRK project. Breaking away from orthodox methods of sound design and structure has helped the duo, composed of Alex Patricolo and Dan Perez (aka Dan Wolfz) to turn the heads of many in the bass and experimental dance music communities. Until the end of 2023, PTCHWRK was still a solo project started by Alex, where he had already begun to grow a fan-base on a national scale, while at the same time Dan was building his solo project. Both Alex and Dan individually were making their mark releasing music to the world while DJing in cities across California, Colorado, Florida, Ohio and Virginia in support of legends like G Jones, Netsky, Big Gigantic, EAZYBAKED, Elephant Heart, Daily Bread, G-Space, ION, TRUTH, Doctor P, DMVU, Toadface, and Shlump. Then through the direct inspiration of Pretty Lights, Alex and Dan decided to make their debut as a hybrid electronic duo. In 2024, PTCHWRK embarked on their first tour performing in Baltimore and New York, as well as festival sets at Northern Nights in California and Badger Bass Camp in Colorado. PTCHWRK now primarily focuses on live music expression, yet performs DJ sets that are curated with higher intensity dubstep, drum & bass, garage and house music featuring original music with selections from their producer circle, whereas their live sets focus on a more melodic approach featuring elements of jazz and liquid drum & bass.
