about
Kevin Patzelt originally started djing and experimenting with electronic music back in 1997 while at college in the San Francisco and Seattle areas under the rather curious and possibly cryptic name dreissk. After graduating college, Patzelt found it difficult to create music as there was not a lot at the time that resonated with and inspired him. He thoughtfully refers to this period as “a creative hibernation." Patzelt went on to work as a sound designer in the burgeoning gaming industry where a friend gave him a CD as a birthday gift which would change his creative outlook. n5MD's ceremonial One Five Zero compilation was that very CD and as Patzelt puts it “everything clicked. I was immediately inspired." After a little over a year Patzelt has disrupted his hibernation by creating his first full length album which ironically is being released by the very imprint which was paramount in re-kindling his creativity. The album titled “the finding” has a perfect balance of ambience, grinding percussion, pulsing drums and interwoven guitar work that creates an aquatic blend of Ambient, IDM and Shoegaze; all of which are emotionally resonant without being over the top. Is Patzelt's dreissk the first in a second generation of n5MD artists to be influenced by the label's output? It could be. We simply think he and n5MD were both at the right place at the right time to find one another and you the listener get to reap the rewards... User-contributed text is available under the Crea
