Bio
In a 2023 interview, Patrick Scuro recalled a deceptively simple thought from the back of a club: DJing looked like pushing buttons, so he might as well try. Three months later, in March 2018, he played his first gig. After an initial year crossing styles from psy-trance to house, the Berlin-based German artist focused on techno at the end of 2019 and taught himself production through online courses. The pandemic gave him studio time away from a weekday banking job; his first releases followed in 2020. Dissatisfaction with labels that never quite fit his music led to Animarum Recordings in 2021. The name comes from his idea of “soul techno,” music intended to connect emotionally as well as move a room. Scuro runs the label independently, speaks directly with its artists and creates its cover art, while his own catalogue continues through solo tracks and frequent collaborations across Animarum and related techno imprints.
