Ep. 23: Five Disco Favorites from DJ Patrick's Collection

It's time to deepen your disco knowledge with Patrick Lotilla, aka DJ Patrick. As a resident DJ at Bar Part Time in San Francisco, a key team member of Bar Shiru, where he curates records a couple of nights a week, and a co-founder of the Brouhaha party series that brought world class DJ talent to the Bay Area, Patrick is a big presence in the local nightlife scene. And his taste in dance music is vast and eclectic. In this episode we focus on five of his favorite rare grooves from the late 70s to early 80s. Hear Patrick talk about some of his producer/DJ heros, the threads between Philly Soul, disco & house music, and the importance of weaving humor and fun into his sets.

Editor’s Note: In the episode introduction, Pam states that Brouhaha has been around “for the past 10 years.” It actually ran from 2013 - 2018. Apologies for this error!
