Alan Fitzpatrick- W.A.I.S.T.D

Alan Fitzpatrick has had a remarkable career to date. Few artists can claim to have headlined Berghain and also had a hit on daytime BBC Radio 1, but then there aren’t many artists like Alan Fitzpatrick.  
 
One of the most popular techno DJs in the world, he has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Carl Cox and Adam Beyer for the best part of a decade, performing at the world’s biggest clubs and festivals. Known primarily for his raw hard-edged sound,  Alan has developed into one of dance music’s most versatile producers, equally at home putting out techno bangers on Drumcode as he is making disco-infused house anthems, or experimental electronica under his 3STRANGE alias, not to mention his impressive range of collaborations (including CamelPhat, Skream and Jamie Jones).

He has since released a string of studio albums, winning acclaim from Pitchfork, The Guardian, BBC6Music, and Resident Advisor.

Paraleven- Break Me Down

As Apollo grows closer to its September 9 landing on Rose Avenue, today Paraleven offers a brand new glimpse of the work to come via “Break Me Down,” featuring Fractures.

Intensity magnifies as “Break Me Down” unfolds, raising hairs with soaring orchestral pads and a dynamic melody hewn by roaring synths.
