Better Days presents: Ralph Session & Pat Bedeau

Better Days returns with another carefully curated night of authentic House music, bringing together two internationally respected selectors and producers in Ralph Session and Pat Bedeau, supported by Smudged Soul, Just G and Maelo, for an unmissable session built for true dancefloor heads.

Born in New York and now based in Barcelona, Ralph Session has spent over 15 years deeply rooted in House culture, carrying forward the spirit of the NYC underground with authenticity and precision. His DJ sets are driven by dancers — moving effortlessly between deep, soulful, disco-infused grooves, classics and peak-time energy, all underpinned by a raw, funk-laced musicality shaped by his background as a B-Boy and house dancer.

As a producer, Ralph has built a standout catalogue across leading labels including Freerange Records, Local Talk, Quintessentials, Snatch! Records, Nervous and SlothBoogie, with standout releases such as NYC Boot Tapes, Let The Rhythm Guide Us, Mad Deep and Freak. His work has gained consistent international support, alongside collaborations with respected artists including Mr. V, Juliet Mendoza, Brandon Markell Holmes and DJ Fudge, firmly establishing him as one of House music’s most authentic contemporary voices.

Joining him is Grenadian-born DJ, producer and label head Pat Bedeau, a true House music veteran with over 20 years behind the decks. Known for his deeply soulful and groove-led approach, Pat blends House with influences spanning soul, jazz, funk, hip-hop, reggae and rare grooves, delivering rich, emotive sets that connect effortlessly with the crowd.

Pat’s career has taken him from the legendary M25 rave era through to clubs and festivals worldwide, including performances in Ibiza, Amsterdam, Miami, Mumbai, Prague and even sunrise and sunset sets at Burning Man. He has shared stages with a who’s who of House music, including Miguel Migs, Atjazz, Jimpster, Grant Nelson, Sean McCabe and many more, cementing his status as a respected figure in global House culture.

As a producer, Pat has released music on respected labels such as Nervous Records, Quantize, Tribe Records and Hed Kandi, and in 2022 signed to Atjazz Record Company, marking a major milestone in his career. His acclaimed output includes chart-topping releases and collaborations with vocalists such as Hannah Khemoh, alongside a steady stream of well-supported remixes and originals through his own imprint Bedfunk, which has become a respected outlet for soulful, forward-thinking House music.

Completing the lineup, Smudged Soul, Just G and Maelo bring additional depth and local energy to the night, setting the tone with carefully selected House grooves and warm-up sessions designed to build the dancefloor atmosphere from start to finish.

Together, Ralph Session and Pat Bedeau represent the depth, heritage and future of House music — delivering a night of soulful energy, deep grooves and pure dancefloor connection from start to finish.

Expect nothing less than proper House music, played with intention.
