Though his debut artist album Vapour is already being acclaimed by everybody from Sasha, Jooris Voorn and his own personal favourite Laurent Garnier, Amsterdam-based German producer Patrice Baumel insists he has no ambitions to emulate their superstar DJ level success.

“I am driven to make good music and find new excitement in what I do day after day. I believe that I still have a lot of good things in me and that I am still improving,” he explains.

“And what is success anyway? A lot of people agreeing with what you do? Not very high on my priority list,” Patrice continues, “Each human being has to go down their own path, I see no point in comparing myself to anyone else.”

Focused and opinionated, he’s also friendly and charismatic; personality traits that have served him well since he first moved to Amsterdam 14 years ago, relocating from his hometown of Dresden, Germany.
