Elgato

Elgato is an electronic music artist associated with house, funky, folk and UK garage. He focuses on club music that keeps a close, direct connection between DJ and audience, and prefers small venues where people share a strong interest in the music.

Style and influences

His music draws on old US and UK house and garage, which he treats as closely related genres with shared roots in the Paradise Garage. That connection shapes both his selections and his own tracks, including “Tonight” and “Blue”. His approach also leaves room for lesser-known music at the boundaries between house and garage.

Activity and releases

Elgato spends time in Bristol, where he helps run a night called Bruk. The event sells tickets without revealing the line-up in advance, relying on trust and the draw of the music. His debut release is noted for its mix of recognition and surprise, and “Blue” appears as one of his most notable tracks.

Podcast mix

He also prepares a podcast mix made up of older US and UK house and garage. The selection reflects his interest in the shared history of the two styles and the way they remain linked in club culture.
