Recently breaking a two year new recording hiatus, out of nowhere, visionary underground producer patten dropped the surprise EP EOLIAN INSTATE via his newly announced home Warp Records. With no long lead build-up and the firm decision to limit the release to an ultra bespoke run of 500 picture discs, it was clear that patten intends to continue along his own uncompromising route, unrestrained by the formulas and common practices of the environment he finds himself operating in. A relief for existing fans and a refreshingly singular approach to discover for those finding his exquisitely atypical world for the first time. A world continuously explored in patten's internationally-focused Kaleidoscope imprint. In just a handful of weeks, EOLIAN INSTATE has found support from major international outlets such as The Wire Magazine,BBC Radio 1, WFMU as well as causing a stir on the digital underground amongst the hyper-aware tastemakers at FACT, Dazed, Pitchfork, The Fader, Dummy, XLR8R and countless others. An unhinged live AV set at Tate Britain for the Warp x Tate museum event and a sold out EP launch in London was followed by his US debut at NYC's Association of Performing Arts Presenters at Joe's Pub this January.
