Certifiably one of the most revered underground DJs of the Netherlands, Job Veerman, better known as Identified Patient, has made a name for himself as an otherworldly storyteller. His leftfield mixes take the listener on a white-knuckle ride of twists and turns, with no genre, tempo, or mood off-limits. The Amsterdam-based artist made his ascension with some of Rotterdam's finest imprints, all the while filling dance floors across the country and throughout Europe. His style fuses raw aesthetics with unrivaled, relentless energy which he translates into his productions as fluidly as his DJ sets.
With a trademark sound that drifts between the experimental sides of techno, electro, acid, dub, and jungle, it was not long before his music gained the attention of Rotterdam-based labels. Hitting Common Thread in 2016 with The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania and then Pinkman in 2017 with a string of releases, and later releasing his Split EP on London's Brokntoys. These outlets would become the platforms for his early releases which were recognized as instant hits in several charts and clubs throughout Europe and beyond. In 2020 he released his Nerve Deposit EP, as part of Dekmantel's UFO Series. His next EP is set to release this coming January on his very own imprint. Titled Nerve Collect, the label is a collaborative project with fellow DJ & producer, Gamma Intel. Stay tuned for its imminent launch in November 2022.
Besides his sensually severe, irreverent productions, Identified Patient has put himself on the map with his high-energy DJ sets, brimming with tension that spills over into eclectic and diverse styles. Despite his rapid transitions his focus never diverges from the quality of his selections. He has become a vital presence at Dekmantel events and was a regular at the Amsterdam institution, De School, firmly asserting his place in the Dutch electronic scene.
Identified Patient shows no sign of taking his foot off the gas, with a compelling list of forthcoming releases and an extensive touring schedule. Strap in for this year's rollercoaster ride; sleaze and satisfaction guaranteed.
