Described by leading dance blog ‘Dancing Astronaut’ as an artist with the talent and fibre to dominate the industry, Patrick Hagenaar is one of the talented group of fast-rising DJ/producers hailing from Holland.
Patrick served his DJ apprenticeship at some of London’s key venues, which led him to a 5-year long residency at Ministry of Sound; playing in over 40 countries and building a huge following along the way.
Both his productions and DJ sets are inspired by a mix of the Dutch house sounds from his homeland; with a UK flavoured twist of hi octane hooks and devastating melodies.
His first release, (‘What Would We Do’, by Hagenaar & Albrecht), went to the top of the charts across all major download stores and a string of big releases on labels like Big Beat, Spinnin’, Universal and EMI followed.
‘Another Chance’ was the toast of the dance music press and more recently, Patrick’s solo work saw:
- ‘L.O.V.E’ hit the Beatport Top 10
- DMC Buzz chart #1 ‘You got Me’ receive plays from David Guetta, Tiesto & BBC Radio 1

Having remixed Nr1 records for Kiesza, Route 94, Haim, Tchami, Martin Solveig, whilst his remixes for Rudimental’s ‘Feel The Love’ and ‘Waiting All Night’ scoring over 100 plays on BBC Radio 1. Moreover, his Kylie Minogue and SecondCity remixes topped the Billboard Dance Chart and his Flux Pavilion remix hit the Beatport Top 5!
After his major success in 2014 with productions and remixes, Patrick was asked by UK’s largest Dance festival Global Gathering to make his debut on the main stage; playing alongside Oliver Heldens, David Guetta, Alesso & Tommy Trash.
With new releases forthcoming on Ultra, Mixmash & Zulu Records, continuous support from the biggest names in dance music like Tiesto, David Guetta, Patrick has fans across all continents.
