Patrick Ryan is a Melbourne/Naarm-based DJ, musician and radio host known for his genre-blurring sets and deep musical intuition. As a selector, he moves effortlessly between cosmic funk, soul, leftfield pop, balearic, ambient, house, and global grooves - always with a focus on flow, feeling, and floor connection. His project Cantrips has seen support from BBC6 (UK) and KCRW (USA), and live performances have spanned headline shows, art events, and festival slots. Off-stage, Patrick runs the independent label and recording studio Dune Castle and hosts a monthly show on Skylab Radio, where he explores rarities, deep cuts, and mood-driven journeys.
