Warp-signed producer patten takes over Inspiration to tell us what inspires his life and art.

Patten Warp ESTOILE NAIANT interview

Our first Inspiration of 2014 comes from the innovative and inimitable patten and as those that are familiar with the artists work may well expect – he’s made it completely his own.

The Warp-signed producer, whose debut album is set for release next month, tells us exactly what it is that influences and motivates his creativity, in turn building a piece of his own that is as absorbing and insightful as the leftfield sounds he has so freely produced throughout his art.
