Patrick Topping, the UK’s esteemed DJ, producer, and engineer, has risen to become a globally renowned tastemaker in electronic music. With a career spanning over a decade, his record label and event series, Trick, has now surpassed 100 releases and hosted multiple festivals in Tenerife, Newcastle, and Budapest. Trick has also held residencies, events, or hosted stages at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and venues, including DC10, Creamfields, The Warehouse Project, EDC Orlando, PICA Melbourne, Concourse Project Austin and many more. 2025 marks his third year as a resident at the legendary Ibiza club Hï, and also a refocus on the house, tech-house, and techno genres where he first made his name.

From humble beginnings, his first-ever DJ set was in a working men’s club in Newcastle in 2009, followed by years of promoting events, DJing locally, and studying music production. This led to his breakthrough moment in 2013 with a release on Jamie Jones’ Hottrax label and becoming a Paradise resident until 2019. He has been more or less constantly touring the world for 12 years now, playing huge festivals such as Tomorrowland, Glastonbury, Coachella, EDC Vegas, Awakenings, and Ultra—as well as many influential clubs along the way. In 2022, he won Best British DJ in DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards, adding to an impressive list of accolades including: Tech House DJ of the Year (2018), Track of the Season for “Forget” (2014), Newcomer DJ (2014) at the DJ Awards Ibiza, and DJ Mag’s Tune of the Year in 2014 for “Forget.”

As a recording artist, Patrick has now released over 100 original tracks and remixes, with “Be Sharp Say Nowt” (2017) going on to become certified silver in the UK in 2021. Known for pioneering new sounds within house, techno, and British dance music, he is one of the most versatile tastemaker DJs and producers in electronic music. His music is grounded in Chicago house and Detroit techno, yet always looking to innovate. Patrick has worked with pioneers of these genres, including multiple collaborations with Chicago’s Green Velvet—such as their 2014 smash “Voicemail,” “Mad Motion” (2024), “Shining,” and “When Is Now” (2015). He’s also done remix swaps with Chicago legend the late Paul Johnson and collaborated with Detroit icon Kevin Saunderson on “Frisk,” which featured on the official soundtrack to the 2022 film The Batman. Crossing over into pop, he has also remixed high-profile artists including The Streets, Sam Fender, Robyn, and Calvin Harris.

His ascension through the international DJ ranks has been matched by his shrewdness and passion for spotting and championing emerging talent. In 2019, he launched his influential label and event series, Trick, which has become one of the most popular underground dance music brands. Curated by Patrick himself, Trick has provided a platform for breakthrough acts such as Ewan McVicar, Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing, and many more. Its loyal fanbase has become one of the most passionate communities in dance music, with fans proudly sporting the brand’s lightning bolt on merchandise—and even tattoos—at events across the UK and beyond.

With an exciting release schedule ahead and still driven by the same raw energy that first inspired him as a raver, Patrick Topping continues to live his dream while staying grounded. A hardworking, humble, and visionary artist, he remains a key contributor to club culture—whether behind the decks, in the studio, or uplifting the next generation of talent.

Nick Van Kukaj was born and raised in Albania, a small country nestled in the Balkans. Growing up, Nick was always fascinated by the sounds of music and found himself drawn to the rhythm of the drums. He would often bang on barrels and pots, creating beats that would make his friends and family dance along.

As Nick grew older, he realized that his passion for music was more than just a passing interest. He wanted to pursue a career in the music industry and explore all the possibilities that it had to offer. However, opportunities for musical growth were limited in Albania, and Nick knew that if he wanted to achieve his dreams, he would have to move elsewhere.

In the late 90s, Nick made the life-changing decision to leave his home country and move to the United Kingdom. It was a difficult transition, as he had to leave behind everything he knew and start anew in a foreign land. However, Nick was determined to succeed, and he knew that the UK offered him the best chance to make a name for himself in the music industry.

Nick quickly immersed himself in the UK's electronic music scene, attending raves and soaking up the sounds of Hard House and Hard Trance. He was fascinated by the energy and excitement of the scene, and he knew that this was where he belonged.

In 2002, Nick took the first step in his music production journey by purchasing a pair of belt drive decks. He spent hours practicing, honing his skills and perfecting his craft. As his passion for music production grew, he invested in a variety of synthesizers and drum sets, building a massive studio setup that allowed him to create the sounds that he had always dreamed of.

Today, Nick is a respected producer in the UK's electronic music scene, and his unique sound has won him a dedicated fanbase. His studio is filled with his favorite synthesizers and drum sets, and he spends his days creating new beats and experimenting with sounds. Despite his success, Nick remains humble and grateful for the opportunities that the UK has given him, and he looks forward to continuing his journey in music for many years to come.
