The UK's Patrick Topping is one of the most in demand DJs in the world. 2024 marks his second year as resident at the legendary Ibiza club Hï, voted the “Number 1 Club in the World” by DJ Mag the last three years in a row. From humble beginnings, his first-ever DJ set was in a Working Men's club in Newcastle in 2009, followed by years promoting events, DJing locally and studying music production. This led to his breakthrough moment in 2013 with a release on Jamie Jones' Hot Creations label. 

Since then, he has been constantly touring the world for the last eleven years, playing huge festivals such as Tomorrowland, Glastonbury, Coachella, EDC Vegas, Awakenings and Ultra and so many influential clubs along the way. 2022 saw him win “Best British DJ” at DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards. This added another award to his list of accolades, which include “Tech House DJ of the Year” in 2018, “Track of the Season” for “Forget” in 2014, “Best Newcomer DJ” in 2014, all the DJ Awards in Ibiza, plus DJ Mag’s Best Of British Award “Tune Of the Year” for “Forget” in 2014.

As a recording artist, Patrick has now released over 80 original tracks or 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 but always looking to innovate. Patrick has worked with some of the pioneers of these genres. This includes collaborations with Chicago’s Green Velvet, such as their 2014 smash “Voicemail”, and another collaboration which is on the way in 2024. He has also completed remix swaps with another Chicago legend, the late Paul Johnson. Then “Frisk” with Detroit legend Kevin Saunderson, which was part of the official soundtrack to the 2022 film “The Batman”. Moving in different circles, he remixed high-profile pop artists including The Streets, Sam Fender, Robyn and Calvin Harris.

His ascension up the international DJ ranks has been matched only by his shrewdness and ability to spot talent and champion emerging artists. In 2019, he launched his influential record label and event series Trick, which has grown to become one of the most popular underground dance music event brands and record labels. Trick serves as a platform for emerging talent, curated by Patrick himself, giving an outlet to many new signings who have since become some of the biggest ticket-sellers in the UK, such as Ewan McVicar, Ben Hemsley and Hannah Laing.

Trick's loyal fanbase has become one of the most passionate communities in dance music, with fans sporting Trick's signature lightning bolt on merchandise and tattoos at events throughout the UK and beyond. From completing a 9-date residency in 2022 at Ibiza's legendary DC10, to hosting a stage at EDC Orlando 2022, to attracting 10,000 ravers to The Warehouse Project in Manchester and bringing thousands to an Australian Debut in Melbourne in 2023. Then there is the Trick Weekenders, Budapest in 2022 and Tenerife in 2023. These events both saw 2,500 Trick Troops holiday and party together abroad, with Trick Tenerife this year set to double in size.

In 2024 Patrick is set to give back to his roots, bringing legions of fans to his hometown of Newcastle this summer 2024 with the launch of Trick Fest. Trick will also return to Ibiza, hosting a four-date residency in Hï’s Theatre on Wednesdays, whilst Patrick resumes his residency in Hï’s Club Room for twelve Mondays. 

With Trick soon reaching one hundred releases, Patrick is entering a new level of artistry, after producing and engineering all his own music himself for the first 10 years of his career, he is now more collaborative and is now sitting on more music than ever before. 

With an exciting release schedule coming up, he is still driven by the same pure, concentrated energy that inspired him as a raver. Patrick is relishing the opportunity to live out his dreams while also keeping his feet firmly on the ground. A hard working, humble and visionary artist, he is bound to continue making an invaluable contribution to club culture; whether he’s on the decks, in the studio or through the new generation of young acts he’s bringing up with him…
