Teckroad (real name Patrick Karlson) is a French DJ, producer, and electronic music enthusiast born in 1967. With a career spanning decades, he embodies the spirit of long-time passion for dance music, from the disco era to modern electronic productions.

Early career & DJ roots

Patrick Karlson began DJing in the 1980s (around the mid-to-late 80s), during the golden age of analog mixing with iconic Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntables. He was active as a club and party DJ from the 1980s to the 2000s, navigating through evolving styles including disco, funk, acid house, new beat, house, garage, trance, psy-trance, progressive, and early techno influences. This broad exposure shaped his eclectic taste and deep love for groove-oriented electronic sounds.

After a period away from active DJing, he returned to the scene in the late 2010s / early 2020s, embracing digital production and online platforms to share his music and mixes.

Productions & style

Under the alias Teckroad, Patrick focuses on tech house, house, trance, psytrance, and electronic productions. His tracks often feature groovy basslines, atmospheric builds, and a nostalgic yet fresh vibe. Notable releases available on SoundCloud include:

He also produces remixes and edits, particularly in the 80s/90s retro style, as seen in his long-running series "My RMX 80 90'S" (with episodes reaching over 292 by 2023).
