82J6

82J6 is Patrick Keuthen, a Cologne-based producer whose route into electronic music began with hip-hop beats and sampling. Raised in a village outside Cologne, he moved to the city in 2006. That year he also started Dualton with his friend Robert, while another project, Pawn Shop People, gave him further space to develop his production approach.

After stepping away from production to concentrate on his work as an art director, Keuthen returned in 2018, drawn by the freedom of releasing through Bandcamp. His solo work moves between house, minimal and techno, with manipulated samples at its centre. In 2025, he debuted on Cadenza with The Shallow Man, a release that includes Pur Pur and A Mil.
