Patrice Bäumel is a DJ and producer born in East Germany who moved to Amsterdam in 1996, building his reputation through residencies at Club 11 and the legendary Trouw. His output on labels including Get Physical, Kompakt and Afterlife - most notably the 2017 track 'Glutes' - established him as a leading voice in melodic techno. Now based in Lisbon, he runs his own label and event concept HALO, pairing all-night-long sets with a philosophy centred on genuine connection over passive consumption.
Bäumel released a new episode of his HALO Podcast series, titled 'Reimagined - Lost In Translation', inspired by Sofia Coppola's film and constructed as a narrative mix with sound recordings from Tokyo.
Bäumel opened 2026 with the 'HALO: Goodbye 2025 Mix', a selection of his favorite dancefloor tracks from the past year, released via SoundCloud.
Bäumel played a HALO all-night-long set at Stereo Montréal, Canada.
Bäumel launched his own label and event concept HALO, based on all-night-long sets, no VIP zone and discouraged phone use.
