Mixpak is excited to announce our latest signing, Andy Petr, who will debut his first official release with the ‘Rapper Turned Singer EP’ in May. The prolific Milwaukee-based 19-year old producer also plans to deliver an onslaught of free EPs that include original material as well as the heavy reworkings of some of his favorite rap songs. The first free EP is entitled APD004 and you can download it here.

Well beyond his years, Andy Petr affirms his knowledge of electronic music, interlacing bits and pieces of IDM, Chicago house, Acid house, Juke, hip hop and more. Far from the core London, Paris, and New York electronic scenes, Petr cranks out track after track, exploring intricacies of production and ultimately finding a sound all his own.

Listen to a highlight from the his free, ADP004 EP:
