Hopax is Patrik, originally from Hungary, nowadays mainly based in Finland and Estonia. Inspired by space rock and forest trance he decided to start his own electronic music project in 2006.
In the beginning he composed darker, swampy sounds, which slowly evolved to a more balanced, yet free form soundscape, often reaching back to acid or early suomisaundi and 8-bit atmosphere with the aim to keep it psychedelic.
The project is not dedicated entirely to trance, a wide scale is kept from experimental ambient to jazzish chill-out music. He started to perform since 2008 with live and dj-sets both in Hungary and abroad, playing at small forest and warehouse parties or large international festivals like Ozora, Solar Systo, Transylvania Calling or Yaga Gathering.
In 2009-2010 he had regular chill-out dj nights at InverziUm Tea & Coffee, Budapest. Recently, he launched a side-project called @Krautlaika, which is dedicated to analog live and improvised electronic music, touching acid/techno/noise.
