Harvey McKay starts his next single using a killer vocal hook and heavy-duty synth stabs to full effect, conjuring up more of Harvey’s unique style with ‘Silk Road’. The second track ‘Slip’ uses ghostly pads that float over the top of a crisp, chuggy kick drum combining two different qualities before welcoming the percussive synth blips into the mix. The third and final track ‘Start Running’ is chuggy and uses a mesmerising bass loop to draw a dancefloor in. The vocal stabs sit nicely on top before the lead vocal gives the track character and definition.

We’re back again with another SUM package, and this release sees us stepping into our third year of churning out cuts from a variety of names spanning fresh faces to established artists.
SUM 5 kicks off with newcomer ALO’s fierce ‘Return’ where chaos crescendos over an unrelenting bass line before Christopher Lawrenz delivers a wild groover with enough energy to blow the roof off any club with his cut ‘ASIN’. Heavy hitter and man of the hour Eats Everything steps up next and provides another rave anthem on ‘Rollathonic’ before Housemeister’s ‘Am Puls der Zeit’ takes matters into deeper and more dramatic territories with shimmering synthesizers and lush harmonics which couldn’t be farther from JNO’s ‘Generation ID’ which focuses on heavy, fast paced percussion to take the club to the next level. Diving into more sinister territories, Klangkuenstler’s ‘Continuum’ is an intense ride not for the faint of heart whereas Lerio Corrado’s ‘Parabellum’ keeps the tough edge but balances it expertly with just the right amount of debauchery. Martin Eyerer follows suit with a chaotic, yet insanely euphoric blinder with ‘Mineral’ before Niereich & Linus Quick deliver a massive tune with the perfect Rave throwback vibe on ‘Secrets’. Next to last is the gorgeous, energetic and instantly unforgettable ‘Long Awaited Dawn’ from Paride Saraceni before Ryan McKay’s pulse pounding ‘Acid Control’ wraps up SUM 5 with a bang.

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave imprint continues to blossom into one of the most prominent labels in the industry today, as the latest release sees the founder link up with Grammy Award Winning duo CamelPhat on a pair of massive techno tracks via the 'Kona' EP. Here Mixmag reveals the premiere of the EP's title track, a euphoric and anthemic peak-time techno cut packed with relentless energy. 

Alan Fitzpatrick had this to say on the new collaboration: “It’s always exciting for me to work with new artists and people that I think can bring a different take on things in the studio. As individual artists our styles are fairly different, and that always sparks some magic in the studio. This time round it was techno magic, in the form of 'Kona' and 'Liberation'"

The 'Kona' EP is set for release April 19.

Will Clarke - Let’s Rave EP

Available here  https://lnk.to/TRICK019

Will Clarke debuts on Trick this November with ‘Let’s Rave EP’, featuring Daddy Dino and remixes from new talents Ammara and Meg Ward. Will Clarke’s catalogue has marked him out as one of house music’s hottest names in recent times, with releases for Kneaded Pains, We Are The Brave, Drumcode, and of course his own All We Have Is Now all causing huge damage on dance floors and sales charts. Here, on Patrick Topping’s increasingly essential Trick imprint, Will Clarke dives in with the aptly titled synths-and-stabs driven ‘Let’s Rave’ before teeing up the first of two collabs with Trick mainstay, Staten Island’s Daddy Dino. ‘Negativity (feat. Daddy Dino)’, one of the hardest tracks to grace Trick to date, is a thundering techno number punctuated with anxiety-inducing builds and Dino’s pitched down vocals, while ‘Die With Me On This Dancefloor (feat. Daddy Dino)’ takes a trippier, groove-based vibe and features one of the years most infectious hooks from Dino. ‘Let’s Rave EP’ is rounded off with a set of quality remixes from two relative newcomers, Ammara and Meg Ward. London’s Ammara twists ‘Let’s Rave’ into a no-messing acid assault that displays her love of seriously big sounding tracks while Newcastle’s Meg Ward uses the 303 to take things in a slightly deeper yet no less heavy direction.
