Press - The Angel EP 

Available here: https://lnk.to/TRICK028 

‘The Angel’ kicks off with the sort of dynamism Trick releases are becoming known for. Disco licks, vocal snips and crisp snare rolls push the track’s dancefloor impact potential through the roof. For Darius Syrossian’s remix, the Defected affiliate pulls back on the original’s elements, introducing tension and release throughout a series of entertaining builds and fresh vocal chops. ‘I’ve Got The Feeling’ ups the energy, leading into rowdy rave stabs, soaring samples, and pounding drums, leading into closing cut ‘I’ve Got The Groove’, which maintains the energy with sharp, visceral bass and skippy percussion to round out the release

Ammara - Acid Fantasy EP 
Available here - https://lnk.to/TRICK029

After her mammoth remix of Will Clarke’s ‘Let’s Rave’ in 2020, Patrick Topping invites London-based DJ/producer Ammara back to his unstoppable Trick imprint, this time for a collection of three killer original productions. 
Title cut ‘Acid Fantasy’ leads the release, with its distorted vocals and crunching low-end custom-built for dancefloor mania. ‘The Trip’ takes a dip into the late hours, offering hypnotic basslines and bombastic stabs over robust drums, flipping samples from a well-loved cartoon into a future rave classic. 
Closing cut ‘Havoc’ ties the release together with pumping bass and energetic synth work, adding the final touch to an outstanding first EP of no-holds-barred stompers. A testament to both the production skills of Ammara and to Patrick Topping’s knack for A&R alike, ‘Acid Fantasy’ is certain to remain in crates of party-starting selectors for years to come.

For the 30th release on his evergreen Trick imprint, Patrick Topping continues his form for unearthing fresh talent by recruiting producer Dean Lindsay for his first EP. Turning in a pair of uplifting, feel-good house tracks, Lindsay’s production chops are on full display across the party-starting two-tracker. Leading the release, title-track ‘Music Baby’ sees a whirlwind of bright synths and bass hits colliding with robust, crunching drums and vocal samples for a resolutely upbeat affair. ‘Party People’ sees Lindsay marry shuffling drum hits and bouncing low-end for an equally infectious track, rounding out an impressive, smile-inducing debut.

Eats Everything - Return to hardbag EP 

Available here: https://lnk.to/TRICK034

Eats Everything turns in a three-track EP of high energy jams, celebrating the short-lived but iconic
‘Hardbag’ genre from the mid 90s, with all three featuring vocalist Frankco Harris, a performer and host from NYC. 
“Hardbag, a style of music championed by Tony De Vit, Jon Of The Pleased Wimmin, Burger Queen, The Sharp Boys and many many others, was the antithesis of ‘handbag’ house which was popular in the cheesy clubs at the time. Super tough, super fun, largely queer-centric tongue in cheek music that was purely for the dancefloor and didn’t take itself too seriously all the while being absolutely mint (to me anyway). These tracks are for the party, they are for inclusivity & they are not meant to be taken too seriously.” - Eats Everything Kicking off with ‘Bobby And Ken’, Harris’ vocals float atop a punchy instrumental, incorporating shuffling, garage-esque drums, squelchy basslines, and off-kilter FX. ‘Coming For You’ is a high energy affair, bringing pounding percussion, bouncy low end, and high pitched leads to the table, before ‘Wallop (Better Than TheRest)’ brings the EP to a close with rave stabs, grinding build-ups, and cheeky vocal hooks.

Across the EP, the duo lay out their no-holds-barred, party-starting music with four pounding productions. Title track ‘All My Friends’ brings trippy vocals, pumping basslines and speaker rattling kicks together for a peak time stomper, while ‘Runnin’ Check’ keeps the energy levels high, bringing more vocal chops over skippy drums and grinding synths. 
‘Lets Get It’ brings punchy low end and acid lines together over rocking percussion for a massive track, while closing number ‘EMS’ keeps those hands in the air with yet another energetic dose of dancefloor euphoria.

The groove-laden three-track release represents a clear departure from the darker techno
sound of TRICK’s maiden release ‘Watch What Ya Doing’ - further demonstrating Topping’s
versatility as a producer. Kicking off proceedings, the EP’s title track is underpinned by an
infectious vocal sample and the funkiest of beats. While over on the B-side, ‘Let Wa Gan’ is a
darker, moodier number and ‘Galaxy’, featuring the scintillating vocals of Liset Alea, is a
celestial melodic stomper. The collaboration with Liset came about after Topping heard her
vocals on Alex Kid’s ‘Don’t Hide It’. The track quickly became a staple in his sets and he
made the decision to reach out to the Cuban-born singer shortly after.

Bissett Megamix - Mark Tynan

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.

Powerful kicks and rhythmic bongos open up ‘Hot!’ as piercing vocals, laser-like effects and a catchy
organ inspired synth operate throughout. Shuffling drums and soaring pads then form the scintillating
‘Gummi’, an ever evolving number with sultry bass and subtle piano riffs. Tying everything together,
bubbling arps and tantalising melodies form the rich and otherworldly ‘Proto’.

Precision kicks, pitter-patter effects and an escalating melody are joined by a spoken word sample in the bouncy ‘SMML’, before moving into ‘turboshandy’ with its springy bassline, lively synth stabs and heady pitched up vox. Tying things together, ‘heavy bad yin’ is a rumbling cut that powers onwards courtesy of robust drums, swinging hats and a squelchy acid lead.

Ben Hemsley - King of Darkness EP

King Of Darkness
Please Playboy
Shields Possy
Blotter

Ben Hemsley makes his debut on Patrick Toppings’ Trick this November with the ‘King Of Darkness’ EP.
Hailing from North Shields alongside Trick founder Patrick Topping, emerging DJ and producer Ben Hemsley is the latest name of note from the UK’s North-East. Topping and Hemsley have been connected in their hometown for many years. A pal of Hemsley’s brother, Patrick had been championing Ben from a young age and was the first artist to support Ben’s early productions. Since then, Hemsley has picked up support from the likes of Michael Bibi, Green Velvet, Solardo, Eli Brown, Calvin Harris, Pete Tong, and Lee Foss via a string of jacking, rave inspired house tracks over the past year. It’s fitting that the Newcastle native now lands on the fellow Geordie’s label this November.
Solidifying the release as a family affair, Daddy Dino makes his return to Trick on ‘King Of Darkness’, with his spoken word sat atop a filtered acid-tinged bassline and metallic percussion, with spooky synth work contributing to a haunting atmosphere. ‘Please Playboy’ sees Hemsley intersperse lighthearted, interview-style vocals and disco interruptions with constantly evolving sections of thumping techno aesthetics.
‘Shields Possy’ sees Hemsley go for the jugular, deploying relentless drum patterns and bassline modulations alongside twitchy leads while ‘Blotter’ loops hypnotic phrases over a voluminous bassline and banging drums. Taking a turn at the halfway mark, ‘Blotter’ breaks down into a section of ghostly vocals, swiftly coming back with energetic intent.
An imposing EP, Hemsley’s ‘King Of Darkness’ displays a willingness to experiment with new sounds and styles, showcasing the skills of one of the most exciting producers in the genre on a label that is redefining main room sounds.

Drew Dabble - That’s Life EP

Available here https://lnk.to/TRICK020

Continuing Trick’s ongoing dedication to unearthing fresh talent, Patrick Topping has signed newcomer Drew Dabble for a massive three-track EP, marking the first official release from the Ireland raised, Sydney-based producer. First played at Circoloco Thailand by Topping earlier this year, ‘That’s Life’ invokes the sort of hands-in-the-air attitude that fans of the label have come to expect, offering floating chord progressions over light and bouncy drums while expressive vocal samples perpetually lift the track up. ‘Rush’ picks up right where ‘That’s Life’ leaves off, keeping the energy high with a series of string hits, vocal chops, and an undeniably grooving bassline, while ‘Nocturnal’ takes a slightly darker turn, employing the use of classic rave stabs and hypnotic synth work to craft a highly effective late-night jam, rounding off an impressive debut from Drew Dabble.

Adapter - I Need U EP

Available here  https://lnk.to/TRICK021

Leading the release, ‘I Need U’ embodies the very kind of dancefloor mania label-boss Patrick Topping’s sets are renowned for. Huge vocals are front and centre as matching synth and bass lines evolve to form a track decidedly geared towards ecstatic moments. ‘Hyperactive’ keeps the energy levels high with crisp drums, detuned pads and a grinding bassline, peppered with light synth plucks and wonky FX. ‘Ponger’ closes out the release with cheeky leads and thumping low end, adding another dose of intensity to an EP which solidifies Adapter’s chops as a producer, as well as Topping’s ear for A&R.
