Simon Patterson

British Tech-Trance DJ & producer hailing from Belfast and based in London. He got his first break at the age of 19 when he was asked by top Italian DJ & producer [a=Dino Lenny] to run his new labels – [l=Age One Records] and [l=B Sorted Records]. He then went on to work alongside Dave Lambert at top Universal dance label [l=AM:PM], which led to him being approached by head A&R man [a=Nick Halkes] to work with him on his new Ministry Of Sound label – [l=Incentive] Records. In the summer of 2001, BBC Radio 1 DJ [a=Seb Fontaine] approached Simon to handle his A&R, which led to his current position as A&R for [a=Judge Jules], in which he has helped to find and break some of the biggest dance records of 2003 and 2004. Simon began playing out in 2000 and was rapidly making a name for himself in clubland. He was resident for Serious @ The Cross in London and his rising reputation as a producer created a stir amongst promoters and clubbers alike. Simon also co-hosted a bi-weekly radio show on Ministry Of Sound Radio and was included in February issue of Mixmag as 'one DJ' to watch in 2004. From 2003 to 2007 he had massive success as one half of the group [a=Dogzilla] with [a=Richie Kayvan]. In 2008 Patterson left the group to focus on his solo career.
