Tell Me What Happens Now (Instrumental)

The Nashville Session

Together At Last

Across the ‘Street Rave EP’ McVicar marries Chicago inflected raw house sounds with an unmistakable UK rave slant throughout. From the buoyant combination of undulating bass and a rich palette of synths, stabs and vocal drops, the title track is just under six minutes of earworming hooks. ‘Dorian’ is a tougher, more clipped affair with a stomping, acid-inflected groove doing the work while closing track sees McVicar team up with fellow Scot Roose for a no-holds-barred workout which fuse 4:4 UK hardcore to a rock-solid house beat.

Let’s rewind to 1995, to Dan’s teenage years and when his friend Jack first introduced him to the original Moi Renee - Miss Honey. Ball Culture has always been a massive interest of Dan’s and one of the very first videos he ever saw when YouTube was in its infancy was the original, iconic Miss Honey. In turn, it became something iconic for his group of friends at the time and is completely nostalgic when talking about it now.

Dan loved the vocals, so when his gig at Little Gay Brother in London was approaching, he decided to get in the studio and make his own edit for the dancefloor in April 2018. “I sampled the drum loop from an old Armand Van Helden remix, added some bass and a little bit of a riff, and when I put the acapella over the top - it worked a treat” – says Dan’.

“It booted off!!” – that was the feedback from the show in London and at a later show at Sound in Los Angeles. “After that, I thought I might be onto something, as the crowd was going mental. So, I went back to the studio and made it sound bigger with some rave stabs and sent it out to a few people” adds Dan. The end result? An explosive slice of house with a rambunctious groove!

Fans are asking Dan every day about the release date, after Patrick Topping, Fatboy Slim and Annie Mac all dropped the track, and have been giving it the love it deserves ever since. Now we can finally announce, it’s going to be a special day on the 12th June, when ‘Honey’ will finally be available for purchase!

Premiere: Eats Everything 'Honey'

A pumping club weapon, the  title track opens proceedings, pairing Patois MC samples with raw, Chicago-influenced house. On the flip side, ‘Easy For Us’ maintains the intensity of ‘Rocket Fuel’, placing an infectious, seemingly never ending four-to-the-floor beat and catchy robotic vocals at its heart. It marks Topping’s first release since his vocal edit of ‘The 302’ by DJ Deeon and Gettoblaster, which was released as part of TRICK 006.

My Journey Into Eternity

Brazil meets Newcastle for Mura’s debut on Patrick Topping’s Trick with the vocal smash ‘Check It’, featuring remixes from Ewan McVicar and Elliot Adamson. Continuing to discover fresh talent, Patrick Topping recruits Brazilian DJ/producer Mura for an irresistibly energetic first release laced with catchy rapped vocals sitting atop a bouncy, synth-laden production, inviting label family members Ewan McVicar and Elliot Adamson on board for a pair of high octane remixes. 

Following his ‘Street Rave EP’ on Trick in 2020, DJ Mag ‘Best Breakthrough Act’ nominee Ewan McVicar provides a high energy ‘Organ Mix’ of Mura’s original, keeping ‘88 alive with blasting stabs and chorded organs to transform ‘Check It’ into a no-holds-barred rave anthem. 

Elliot Adamson returns to Trick after yet another year of superb output in 2020 and turns in two remixes of ‘Check It’. The laser-ridden ‘Leazes’ remix and the aptly titled ‘Turbo’ remix both see the Newcastle-born producer taking no prisoners, adding a welcome dose of frenzied excitement to yet another standout release from Trick.
