Patrick Gibin bio :
Whether it’s uptempo jams or slower cuts, Patrick Gibin’s selection is sure to excite music lovers on and off the dancefloor. Born in the UK and based in Verona, Italy, the DJ, producer and record collector has embarked on various projects over the years. In 2011 he started
... his label Blend It! records by releasing the first of his Black Aroma edits under the moniker of Twice. Since then the much sought-after series released 10 EPs which are a collection of edits reflecting his impressive versatile selection. Patrick has also contributed to the Sounds Familiar 45’s project with a limited pressed 7’’ ‘Taste the Aroma’.

Through the Collective Blends project Patrick has collaborated with musicians from his hometown and globally renowned artists like Erik Rico, Clara Hill and Kaidi Tatham. Staying true to his eclectic sound, the releases blend house/broken-beat grooves with P-Funk, RnB and Boogie. The collection is supported and played by deejays and producers like Antal, Hunee, Tama Sumo and Lakuti. Patrick is also one half of the Flying Machines project along with his friend Native: the 4th instalment of this in-demand series will be out on Blend It! records in 2018.

In 2016 Patrick was invited to contribute a mix for the Altered Soul Experiment cassette series and he took this opportunity to showcase his impressive downtempo collection. By presenting mixes in a physical format, rather than just curating podcasts, the series aims to materialize the passion and knowledge behind the artists selected and to provide a platform to record rare material that could only be found through years of digging. Other featured artist are Volcov, Red Greg, Skymark, Ge-ology, Marcellus Pittman and Antal.

As founder and a 10 years resident DJ of club ROOTS Corte Radisi in Verona, a unique venue set in a 500 year old villa that opens only for private parties, Patrick allures music lovers from all over Italy and Europe. With its unique custom-made soundsystem, the venue is a favorite spot for Theo Parrish, Sadar Bahar & Lee Collins to name a few. Together with long time friend Volcov, Patrick hosts a monthly party in Verona called GO~TO in an old paint factory just outside the city. His sets reflect his eclectic taste, spanning many genres, styles, and tempos. Calling upon new and old sounds carefully crafted into original and exciting blends to create that great vibe you want on a dancefloor!

Ltj Xperience
Luca LTJ Trevisi (LTJ Xperience) began his dj/producer career in the 80s. As resident dj in two of the most famous Italian clubs of the time, Kinky in Bologna and Cap Creus in Imola, he was one of the first Italian jocks to spin House and to re-propose those black music, jazz and latin-bossa classics from the 70s that at the end of the same decade would have given birth to the Acid Jazz and Rare Groove movements. His first single release in 1988, titled First Job, together with Kekkotronics, was also the first release ever on Bologna based Irma Records. It was featured in a lot of compilations of the time and entered several playlists, rapidly reaching cult status for many UK and US djs. During the early 90s LTJ delivered a couple of singles in a kind of pre-breakbeat style: Dont Stop The Sax, released all over Europe, and Funky Superfly. He also produced US singer Tameka Starrs single Going In Circles, always for Irma Records, still a classic in the downtempo/r&b field. In the second half of the nineties Luca began to produce acid jazz bands like Bossa Nostra, still today one of Irma Records main acts. Their first album had Vicky Anderson as special guest and today is still considered one of the most important European acid jazz albums. In the following years he concentrated on developing his activity as collector and rare vinyl merchant, which gave him the chance to get in touch with djs from all over the World and to discover many forgotten gems from the past years. Thanks to this experience he was able to create two extremely successful rarities series on Irma Records: Groovy and Suono Libero. In the meanwhile LTJ started to dj outside Italy too, performing in important venues like the Blue Note and Jazz Café in London, Giant Step in New York and Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In 1999 saw the release of his first solo album under the LTJ Xperience moniker. The album was produced with the collaboration of fellow Irma artist and producer Ohm Guru and had Taka Boom and Jackson Sloan among the guests. Two of the main tracks on the album are brazil house classic Sombre Guitar and title track Moon Beat, which became a true hit of the Chill Out genre, featured in dozens of important compilations.
After making countless productions for Irma Records, including their second album When The Rain Begins To Fall (with the participation of the historic Spanish-American singer Joe Bataan), and the recents singles as ORGAN MIND / I LOVE YOU (favorite track by Larry Heard ) & ON THE FLOOR / SOUND MACHINE, LTJ is devoted almost exclusively to re-edit and reconstruct tracks from the past with the addition of sounds and rhythms in post production for labels like SUPER VALUE, SMALL WORLD DISCO, HOT GROOVY RECORDS, OH CRISTO! increasing the production of this new musical genre that is currently defined as beatdown/slo-mo, working with international labels such as Far Out Recordings, Sleazy Beats, Future Classics, E.A.R. Music For Dreams, Apersonal Music, Roam Recordings, !K7, Schema, New Boy Shit Trax.

The latest four CDs on the Irma label “I Don’t Want This Groove To Ever End” (2012) “Ain’t Nothing But A Groove” (2013) “Don’t Let The System Get You Down” (2015) “Beggar Groove” (2017) shows the funkiest and grooviest side of LTJ !
