PATRICK WAYNE

Patrick Wayne stands as a true embodiment of Chicago's House music legacy — deeply rooted in the city's musical DNA while leaving an indelible mark on the global stage. A lifelong student of his craft, Patrick's career reflects authenticity, technical mastery, and an unwavering love for the culture that shaped him.


With multiple #1 tracks and numerous charting hits across genres, Patrick has quietly become one of Chicago's best-kept secrets. A DMC-level cut master on the decks and a B-Boy turned House visionary, he bridges generations of dance music — from the raw energy of Chicago's underground to the refined grooves of today's international scene. As A&R for the globally recognized Dubstar / DBSTR labels and one half of a powerhouse DJ duo, he continues to shape the sound of the future while honoring the roots of the past.


Patrick's productions have found homes on respected labels worldwide. His latest release, "Chicago Fire" featuring Pamp, has cemented his status as a local legend. Licensed by the Chicago Bulls' social media division, the track has become a citywide anthem, echoing through the United Center, Soldier Field, and Toyota Park. It's a soundtrack born from the city's heartbeat — House music for the streets, stadiums, and souls of Chicago.


With over 35 years in the industry, Patrick's journey runs deep — from 1990s nightclub residencies to curating vinyl as a record buyer for one of Northern Chicagoland's most respected shops. His roots trace back to the mixtape era under his alter ego, Opie Kuttingham, a name revered among DJs who understand the grind and glory of true vinyl culture. During the peak of the 90s Chicago club and radio mixshow scene, he earned the title of club series mix contest winner, propelling him to a major label with worldwide distribution.


Patrick Wayne doesn't just play House music — he lives it.

His journey embodies the Chicago spirit: resilient, creative, authentic, and timeless. In a world of fleeting trends, he remains a craftsman, keeping the real sound of Chicago alive for generations to come.
