Patrick Topping. The man is literally one of the most sought after DJs on earth let alone within the confines of his genre. His latest release ‘Be Sharp Say Nowt’ is at this very moment flying high at the #1 track on Beatport overall, reaching the top spot in an astonishing four days. To further accredit the Hot Creations release the track was named by Annie Mac as the Hottest Record In The World on her BBC Radio 1 show. Keeping the good news rolling, Patrick’s first release of 2017 was ‘Dr. Vibes’, a thumping two-track EP that dropped on Green Velvet’s hugely popular Relief label. The title track went on to solidify his popularity by taking the #1 tech house spot too. The third milestone in the very short two months since his first release of the year, Patrick had the honour of remixing one of his favourite artists Tiga, for his latest single ‘Woke’.
To put it simply, Patrick Topping is one of the best, it has stayed that way since he blew up in 2015 and it will stay that way for years to come. With a string of incredible Australian appearances marked in his touring schedule, Patrick is well and truly Dr. Vibe.
