Patch
Adelaide drum and bass figure with Patches of Drums roots, repeat LOCUS history and a direct line into the Australian scene feeding Bali.
Artist Guide
Patch is Julian Dangov, an Adelaide drum and bass standard-bearer whose work around Patches of Drums gives the booking more context than a vague regional tag. Official 2025 coverage listed Patch as a returner, and the 2024 Bali lineup already had the name on it. By 2026 that makes Patch one of the quiet constants in the LOCUS ecosystem, with a concrete Australian scene anchor behind the repeat bookings.
The useful part here is grounded regional pressure. Patch helps connect LOCUS to Australian dancefloor culture without relying on imported mystique or legacy-name scale. That usually means a set built around practical momentum, familiar DnB instincts and a strong read on the kind of travelling crowd that turns Bali into a southern-hemisphere meeting point.
For this dashboard, Patch is no longer just a 'trust the regular' marker. He gives the Australian thread a real Adelaide point of reference, then folds that back into the festival's recurring cast. If the crew wants to hear what LOCUS sounds like when it is less about headliners and more about the regional network that keeps returning, Patch is the sensible stop.
