Биография

With well over 100 discursive vinyl releases stacked in his favor since starting his recording career Agaric aka Patrik Skoog has quite a history to look back on. Over the course of the late 90's and the following decade, the alias Headroom and Patrik’s solo careers progressed in tandem, chalking up significant releases for record labels like Synewave NY, Drumcode, and Planet Rhythm along the way. After eight years roaming techno’s harder perimeters, in 2005 he launched the We Are label after releasing a few records as “Agaric”. More family than roster, and more collective than record label, We Are has since blossomed into an eclectic club-oriented stable, with the introduction of the 10” colored vinyl series drawing a rich spread of artists. In the recent years Patrik has come full circle, probing anew the classic techno avenues that first inspired it all and releases the full length debut double 12" album "Exit Earth" released on the UK label Third Ear. Furthermore in 2014 his new vinyl-only label "Sample & Hold" is launched and distributed via Rush Hour via Amsterdam. After Agaric's music productions were championed by Josh Wink, who went on to sign his album debut to his Ovum imprint, the international acclaim grew and momentum picked up with performances throughout EU, Americas and Asia.
