Patrick Vidal truly is an amazing DJ.

Always to be found behind the decks of the best clubs & parties in Paris, his residencies read like a whats what of the places to be: KABP, Monoculture, Eyes Need Sugar, Gaudis Set...

His longevity on the music scene (dating from way back the early 80s with Marie & les Garçons, through the 90s with Sutra) explains thte one he is enjoying on the club scene: incredible musical culture and deep understanding of a dance floor and a crowd.

From electro to garage house, classics to cutting edge new sounds, and back again, he is an inspired DJ, and an inspirational one.

Whenever in Paris, try to catch him spin, it really is worth it.

Furthermore he is a hell of a nice guy...
