Resident Advisor 115: Patrice Baumel

The surprise of the summer? The best DJ tool out there may just be the one without a kick drum at all. "Roar," Patrice Bäumel's debut 12-inch for the Get Physical label has been turning heads from all corners of the DJ universe, earning raves from jocks as varied as DJ Hell and Erol Alkan. "Mutant pop" is what Bäumel calls his productions. But that same satisfying blend of melody and rhythm that has infused his work for Trapez and Get Physical could just as easily describe his DJ sets as well. As a resident at the sadly departed Club 11, Bäumel along with his DJing partner Nuno Dos Santos, focuses on the melodic side of things and here on his RA podcast, you can hear the long sweeping chords of DJ Koze's remix of Sascha Funke's "Mango" and Jens Zimmermann's "Heaven." In between all of this uplift? Snippets from a BBC documentary on cats. We'll leave that one to Mr. Bäumel to explain…
