INFO:
On October 4th, Producer and DJ Patrick Zigon will release his debut album -The Alpha State- on Danza Macabre Records.

Patrick Zigon is an artist in the truest sense of the word. Hailing from the beautiful Lake Constance region of Germany, Patrick is more inspired by landscapes, the impact of nature and his whole environment than by any fast moving musical hypes. That‘s probably why he pays such close attention to sound design and atmospheres in his club tracks; ensuring the music has something to express, rather than just its ability to work the dancefloor. Patrick has made himself a name with countless trademark releases on labels such as Highgrade, Puzzle Traxx, Tanzbar and Galaktika along with strong remixes for Steve Lawler, Guy Gerber & Shlomi Aber's "Sea of Sand", Gregor Tresher, Reboot, Gui Boratto, Gel Abril, Ramon Tapia, Extrawelt, David K or Guy J on the labels Cocoon, Traum, Great Stuff, Be As One and Trapez. Because his music is characterized by a certain richness and psychadelia, he’s what many people call the electronic hypno maestro from South Germany.

The Alpha State is a mental state of total relaxation. It is reached short before and after sleep and when daydreaming, but can also be entered at will, for example via hypnotizing music. Being mentally full present, this state of consciousness opens the door to our subconsciousness, leaves us in pure harmony and may even allow higher levels of creativity. 

Patrick Zigon’s The Alpha State is a hypnotic guide through his deep and colourful world of electronic music. After many years of a heavy schedule full of releases and remixes, Patrick took a time-out, locked himself into his studio to reinvent himself and put all of his new energy and creativity into his very first artist album. More than one year of hard work, sleepless nights and extensive sound design result in a thrilling journey of overall 12 tracks, and in connection a newborn live-act on stage. Call it Patrick’s first intentional musical monument. Patrick has not only brought himself, but also his musical productions to the next level and welcomed diverse non-electronic guest musicians in his Traumraum studio to pair their talents with his infectious electronic grooves. The dope Ragga vibes of Caramelo Criminal, the captivating vocals of Cassis, the muted trumpet of Fugatocity, the tricky live drums of The DisDrumMachine, the German voice of Goldkehlchen and the dark vocals of Paulo Olarte paired with Patrick‘s production skills make this album the most artistic piece of music in his release-catalog so far. The Alpha State is lovingly handcrafted, soulful, hypnotic and timeless electronic club music. An album that will grow on you and leaves much to be discovered, even after many listening sessions. It’s made both for clubbers and home listeners to take them to another state – their Alpha State.

The Alpha State album will be released in October 2011 on several vinyls, digitally, and also as a continuous mix - an idea which was always in Patrick’s mind since the first minute of the production process. Twelve tracks, each standing on their own, each one with its own meaning, perfectly mixed into one big story. The mix will be free for customers who purchase the entire album digitally, and will also accompany the limited CD release.

The first album single Momento Magico feat. Caramelo Criminal was released in July with remixes from Pascal FEOS & Frank Leicher, Dixie Yure and Danza Macabra, and is supported by artist tastemakers such as Funk D’Void, Konrad Black, Spencer Parker, Peter Kruder, Agoria, Nick Warren, Chymera, Silicone Soul and many others. More remixes for The Alpha State by Mihai Popoviciu, Pablo Bolivar, Elef and other fresh talents will be released in November 2011.

Patrick Zigon is releasing his debut-longplayer on Danza Macabra Records, the Slovenian label run by Martin Rojnik and Edin Cuturic (the duo Danza Macabra). Through their shared friendship and Slovenian roots, the trio have united efforts on this musical milestone for Danza Macabra’s catalog.
