Patricia

Brooklyn-based Max Ravitz produces hissy lo-fi techno and house under the name Patricia. His experimental but always danceable tracks generally feature scuzzy, distorted beats and lush ambient textures, and are typically composed and recorded on the spot using analog equipment. Ravitz had been producing hip-hop and electronic music since his early teens, but started using the moniker Patricia during the early 2010s. International's dancefloor-centric imprint Spectral Sound released Patricia's Side Piece EP in 2014, and a second Opal Tapes release, Bem Inventory, appeared in 2015. He returned to Spectral Sound in 2017 with Several Shades of the Same Color, an ambitious full-length issued as three separate 12" records. ~ Paul Simpson
