Pat Lok is a Vancouver-based producer and DJ who has become a staple of the global nu-disco and indie dance scenes. Emerging in the early 2010s, he gained significant industry traction after winning a DFA Records remix competition for The Rapture.
His sound identity is defined by a fusion of classic house, funk, and contemporary R&B, characterized by high-fidelity production and a focus on melodic accessibility. Throughout his career, he has moved from a club-focused remixer to a songwriter capable of crafting full-length narratives, as seen in his 2017 debut LP 'Hold On Let Go'. He occupies a cultural space between the underground 'French Touch' aesthetic and the more mainstream-leaning 'indie-dance' sound popularized by labels like Kitsuné and Future Classic. Critically, he is praised for his rhythmic precision and his ability to curate a consistent 'sun-drenched' aesthetic across his discography. His influence web connects him to both the old guard of disco-house (Alan Braxe) and the modern wave of electronic-pop (Disclosure, Moon Boots).
