2011’s fractured and tripped out full length GLAQJO XACCSSO was highly praised across experimental avant circles in the UK from The Wire to DAZED, identifying patten as a unique voice emanating from an intersection between a number of London’s underground scenes.
 
Since then, converse to expectation, no further recorded work has been heard from patten, concentrating instead on playing live and producing a handful of highly distinctive, idiosyncratic remixes.  Known for developing new trajectories for recordings in the live environment,  the past two years have been fruitful, seeing his ever-complex sound morph and splinter further with every performance.
 
Having brought attention and acclaim to a number of uncompromising and similarly future-facing artists via his conceptual imprint Kaleidoscope, patten now returns with his debut release on Warp, a five track EP entitled EOLIAN INSTATE.  The beautifully detailed 22 minute picture disc vinyl record is limited to just 500 copies worldwide and sealed in a minimal untreated card sleeve, designed by frequent visual collaborator Jane Eastlight. 
 
A full length will follow in 2014.
 
In addition to a handful of live dates across Europe, patten’s January 11 show will be his US live debut at Joe’s Pub in NYC.
