Alan Fitzpatrick is without question one of the most influential UK based electronic music artists. With a trailblazing career under his belt, a back catalogue of some of the most important releases of a generation and events brand We Are The Brave, it’s clear that he is a leader within the global scene.
Fitzpatrick has carved out his own musical niche holding rank in the upper echelons of the underground electronic world. Few artists can claim to have headlined Berghain, closed out the Solid Grooves Stage at Creamfields, and also had a hit on daytime BBC Radio 1, but then there aren’t many artists like Alan Fitzpatrick.
Consistently rubbing shoulders with the most influential tastemakers of the Techno and House scenes for over a decade, including the likes of Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Nina Kraviz, Ilario Alicante and Mau P, Fitzpatrick's presence at the top table is undeniable.
In world that likes to pigeon-hole, Fitzpatrick prefers to go against the grain and is asat home playing Techno rollers at Awakenings as he is playing disco thumpers at Paradise, or chunkier techy sounds at Do Not Sleep at Amnesia. It's the same story with his productions.
Fitzpatrick’s gift of being able to create the filthiest Techno jamms, which tend to be ‘every set’ fodder for artists at the top of the Techno pyramid, whilst also being able to marry disco samples, or quirky vocals with tough, chunky beats of any style means his sound transcends. This, of course, goes some way to explain the 240 million streams he has garnered to date, releasing on bleeding edge indie labels and major labels alike, including Warner Music, EMI and Parlophone, with records playlisted on daytime radio around the world.
His flag label We Are The Brave (one of 4 that he owns) is a go-to label for anyone wishing to find only the finest and most forward-thinking Techno. It’s that same forward-thinking mentality that influences his groundbreaking WATB label events having already showcased his roster’s talent at The Warehouse Project Manchester, Shine Belfast, Watergate Berlin, SWG3 Glasgow and the infamous Fabric nightclub in London. Sister label Apex Faction leans in a housier direction.
As Alan says himself - “Techno is always at the centre of everythingI do. It’s the fire that burns within me and drives my creativity, but I can’t make or play just one style. I need freedom to create, to carve a musical niche that nobody else is doing. I make music from the heart, not the head and so I tend to just follow the passion within me on any given studio day, then work out where the record sits”.
Fast-forward to today and this titan of the global scene hows no sign of slowing down. He’s recently launched a brand-new Hybrid Live project he’s calling HYBRD, which affords him the ability to create music on the fly supported by bespoke visuals to devastating effect, as has been demonstrated at Awakenings, Fabric, Elrow Festival and many others already in 2025.
With a slew of collaborations in the can and due for release over coming months with the likes of Carl Cox, Thelma, Jamie Jones, Sidney Charles, Obskur, Robbie Doherty and more plus a packed schedule of solo releases it’s clear that this musical behemoth is forging a path others can only dream of.
