BIO

Designer Drugs’ Hardcore/Softcore will be released February 2011 on Ultra Records

Ask the DJ/production duo DESIGNER DRUGS how many air miles they’ve logged over the past year and the answer requires more than a bit of calculating. “Over 300,000,” Michael Vincent Patrick referencing numerous spots around the world where the group has performed. “I have a really nice apartment in New York City, but I’ve only been there three days this month.”

It’s a testament both to the duo’s popularity and work ethic that that number may become the annual norm. After nearly 50 remixes for everyone from Mariah Carey to Annie to Thieves Like Us, the diverse electronic group, comprised of Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, is set to release their debut album HARDCORE/SOFTCORE on Ultra Records in February 2011.

Where past productions and remixes have been on the poppier end of the musical spectrum, Hardcore conjures up a darker, edgier vibe – think the throbbing, industrial-heavy opening club scene in “The Doom Generation” – yet still retains a melodic center on many of the tracks. “I think we’re making music for the apocalypse,” says Michael, only half-joking. “The state of society is at a place where people just don’t give a fuck and that’s what inspires our music.”

School hasn’t stopped the group from putting on memorable live sets as much as possible. Spend a few minutes at one of DESIGNER DRUGS’ live shows and you’ll see the normally humble pair, spurred on by the intense energy of their music, transform into a different beast.

This dynamo duo, Michael Vincent Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, also know as, Designer Drugs have been DJ/producers of various mixes, original tracks, and remixes that have been featured heavily lately in the electro-grind-house environment.

Their shows are out of control as everyone rocks out so hard to each synth, bass, and hip-hop toned styles. They show so much range which not only allows for everyone to jam, but also they can just straight blow your mind. Quoted in an interview, Michael explains how, “The state of society is at a place where people just don’t give a fuck and that’s what inspires our music.”

Their debut album, titled HARDCORE/SOFTCORE, was released on March 2nd, 2011 under Ultra Records and is available on iTunes. ( )
