Press - The Angel EP

‘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

Tasty Techno Volume 1 Hannah Laing

Label head Patrick Topping recruits a wide range of modern dance music’s most exciting talents for ‘Tasty Techno Volume One’ on Trick, showcasing his ear for A&R and a willingness to push new names to the world. 

“This is such a special release for Trick. It’s our first time releasing a compilation and it’s two years’ worth of curation, which I think has resulted in such an exciting and unique collection of 22 techno tracks. There’s so many diverse styles here, but they are all unified with the theme of just being exciting and different! I’m so happy with how this has turned out and that Trick again has been able to push so many up and coming artists, as well as welcoming back some regular names and also for a couple of the artists, this is their first-ever release.” - Patrick Topping.

Australian dance music favourite Airwolf Paradise debuts on TRICK with new single ‘Don’t Hurt Me Baby’
Driven by the most anthemic of basslines, ‘Don’t Hurt Me Baby’ is an infectious dose of big room euphoria. The record is already causing a stir after being played in sets at the likes of Printworks and DC-10.

"I wrote Don’t Hurt Me Baby inspired by 90s house. I sent the demo to Patrick Topping with no expectation at all. Loving the scene and community that Patrick has created around Trick.” Airwolf Paradise explains.

“Patrick hit me back after playing the track around and asked if he could sign it! Next thing I knew I was with Patrick at Printworks in London while he was playing ‘Don’t Hurt Me Baby’ to a sold out crowd!"

Airwolf Paradise burst onto the Australian scene with 2018 single ‘Chasing You’, which became a bonafide club anthem and reached the ‘Top 10’ on the ARIA Club charts. He followed up with a succession of club-focused tracks, including ‘Make It Bang’, ‘Get This’ and ‘Be Free’, which was certified as an ARIA Club Chart #1.

Previously appearing on Trick’s ‘Tasty Techno’ compilation as well as on Sola, SOLOTOKO, and Spinnin’ Deep, Hannah Laing returns to Patrick Topping’s label with a two-track EP of high-energy pumpers. A masterclass in hands-in-the-air floor-fillers, both tracks see Hannah Laing reach for hooky vocal samples, heavy-hitting drums, and addictive synth lines, delivering some of her most accomplished work to date.

 “I like to think of my sets as fun, bouncy Techno and ‘Get Busy’ embodies this, a classic feel-good dance vocal with peak time energy. I actually bought the original Big Bass vs Michelle Narine version from my local record shop, Groucho’s in Dundee, when I was 15! ‘Mind Controller’ has been a mainstay in my sets recently, sampling one of my favourite hardstyle vocals, it shows the darker side of what I play. It never fails to shake the dance floor!” - Hannah Laing

Morgan Seatree drops ‘The Strength’ featuring Tasty Lopez on Patrick Topping’s Trick. 

Morgan Seatree hails from Manchester, bringing a healthy respect for the old school alongside his signature fast-paced sound across his productions, releasing music on the likes of Too Many Rules and Ministry of Sound, finding his way into the record bags of Jamie Jones, Hector Couto, and of course Patrick Topping. 

‘The Strength’ carries all the elements you need to light up the club: loud and punchy drums, old-school stabs, and a raw, belting vocal from Tasty Lopez. Plenty of smart fills add extra drama as the irresistibly well-swung kicks and warm bass take you higher. 'The Strength' is destined for big things this summer and beyond. 

“'The Strength' was born from a period of writer's block which was shifted when the artist went into the studio minded to make something "as 90's influenced as I could. It came together so nicely, and it’s a record I'm so proud of." - Morgan Seatree

Patrick Topping recruits Hyyken for ‘So Good To Me’ on Trick this July. 

Irish DJ/producer Hyyken has been banging out infectious bends of garage, baseline, house and techno on labels like Fresh Take Records, Tech City and Trick, where he last appeared with 'Acid Riddim' in April. His club-friendly style is robust and built to make an impact but never at the expense of fresh musical flavours. 

The brilliantly euphoric 'So Good To Me' is an all-out piano house belter. The drums are packed with punch, the bright chords dart up and down the scales, and a heartfelt vocal is the irresistible icing on the cake. It's full of joy and destined for open-air dance floors, boat parties, and plenty of dance floors in between. 

"It was probably the fastest I'd ever made a track! The weather was getting great again, and I was listening to so much Floorplan, I got a half day off work and went straight to the studio with an idea to make a gospel vocal house track. Three days later, Patrick is sending me a voice note saying he played in Denver and wanted to sign it immediately!" - Hyyken

Northern Ireland native Robbie Doherty first made waves in the underground circuit in his early twenties through releases on top labels from PIV to Knee Deep In Sound. The Brit silver-certified talent stands as PIV’s second top-selling artist, with his 2023 smash ‘It’s My Beat’ earning him the no.1 best-selling record spot on the Amsterdam-based label. Robbie now enters 2024 with a killer debut on Patrick Topping's essential Trick imprint with ‘Kick The 909’ featuring Klubbheads, a dance outfit from the Netherlands with countless hits on labels like Armada to their name.

The high-octane 'Kick The 909' brings together old-school chord stabs, a no-nonsense rapped vocal, and unrelenting drums that pulse beneath an airtight, pumping groove.

Belgium’s Pegassi has been turning the heads of heavyweights from FISHER to Chris Lake of late through his fusion of trance, techno, and house. His 2022 remix of ‘No Type’ on Zeitgeist has garnered more than three million streams on Spotify, and now he looks to Patrick Topping’s unstoppable Trick label for his next sure-fire smash ‘Baby I Don’t Mind’.

“With the creation of ‘Baby I Don't Mind’, I aimed to craft a simplistic club track inspired by the music-making techniques of the nineties. I stumbled upon the vocal sample and wanted to incorporate instruments that are each used to their value. By working my usual workflow of trial and error, I crafted a straightforward techno track with a crisp groove and many different focal points” - Pegassi.

Fresh off a BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record feature with his 2024 ‘Take Me Away’, Lewis Taylor has been a core part of the Trick family, appearing on the label’s 2023 ‘Lethal Bangers Vol. 1’ V/A and lineups at festivals such as Creamfields and WeAreFestvl. The Newcastle talent now returns with his debut solo EP on Topping’s imprint, ‘Kickin’ In The Beat’.

“Both tracks perfectly represent where want to take my sound going forward. I am heavily inspired by 90s house and love that a lot of producers and labels have brought that sound back to the forefront of dance music in recent years. Trick has been a key player in doing this, so I am honoured to have it as a platform to share these two tracks with the world!” - Lewis Taylor.

Up first is the vibrant 'Kickin’ In The Beat', a high speed and compelling garage-house groove with shuffling drums and bouncing bass. The clipped vocal loops provide that irresistible hook with a 90s feel, erupting into a top line that is destined to do damage. 'Shake It Up' is another immediately catchy groove with tight, dusty drums and punchy low end. Beyond the physical appeal, a retro bassline and subtle garage skip all help elevate it to the next level.

Scotland-based DJ & producer Mha Iri is undoubtedly a rising force within the techno circuit, having been heralded as the top-selling female artist in Hard Techno on Beatport in 2023, consistently dominating the Top 10 charts with her releases on labels like Drumcode and Filth On Acid, and appearances scheduled at Awakenings, Junction 2, and many more. Now arriving on Patrick Topping’s Trick imprint for the first time, Mha Iri delivers ‘Take My Love’, an anthemic track packed with hands-in-the-air energy where mammoth kicks, wonky FX, and hypnotic vocals collide in epic fashion, as well as an amped-up ‘Hard Mix’ on the digital flip.

“I wrote the vocal to ‘Take My Love’ over six years ago. I had a vocal idea that I recorded and added this weird organ preset from Diva VST, which gave the track a really funky feel. I then left the track dormant, as although it was a solid idea, it wasn't where I wanted it to be at the time. Then, last year, I decided to rework 'Take My Love' and see what would happen using my studio experiences since I started, and it really blossomed. It's a fun, funky track and is very different from my usual sound, but it still has my signature feel to it. I also did a harder techno version, which I've been playing at my gigs, so it's been a really nice way of merging the two styles.” – Mha Iri

Previously tipped by DJ Mag and BBC R1’s Pete Tong as one to watch, Jordan Peak has been cooking up polished
house and techno grooves for over a decade, dropping chart-topping material on labels such as Robsoul, Saved,
and his own Peak Trax imprint, whilst also picking up high praise from the likes of Disclosure and Carl Cox. Adding
another label debut to his extensive catalogue, the UK talent heads for Patrick Topping’s Trick with the mammoth ‘I Need A Freak’.

“I wrote this song after a night out at fabric in London. The staff wear t-shirts that have the message “DON’T BE A
CREEP” in big, bold letters, and when I saw the shirts, the idea for this song just came to me. Once I had the lyrics
written I made the beat and used AI to change my voice into a female one. That’s my normal voice in the breakdown,
and every vocal you hear on the song is mine, apart from the dog bark haha. This track is me further exploring my
MaCHiNE HOUSE sound I am trying to develop and really push the boundaries of what’s possible to do musically with today’s technology.” - Jordan Peak.

Ireland-native CAZ catapulted onto the scene with his 2022 smash single ‘My Eyes’ on Relentless Records, garnering massive support across the airwaves from Capital Dance to BBC Radio 1 and racking up millions of streams. The breakout artist has shown no signs of slowing down this year, with his ‘Sweet Tea’ ID amassing over 1.6 million streams on Soundcloud alone and heavy support from Hannah Laing, Interplanetary Criminal, and Patrick Topping. Now, the heavily-requested anthem is set to be officially released via the latter’s mighty Trick label.

“Sweet Tea was a happy accident. I was trying to recreate the iconic Robin S bass on Serum, which is how I got the harsh synth throughout the track. After I had the synth melody, the rest of the elements just fell into place, and once it was finished, I knew I had something special. I sent it to Trick as it's been on my bucket list for a while, and to my disbelief, a matter of days later, Patrick Topping was playing it out from Hï Ibiza to Park Life to Pavilion Festival to Ushuaïa. What a buzz man!” - CAZ.

Hailing from Genoa, Merk started out collecting vinyl in his teenage years before spinning at local venues and producing his own music, which has since earned him several Beatport Top 10s and support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Solomun, and Patrick Topping. Arriving on the latter’s Trick imprint for the first time, Merk showcases his knack for crafting dancefloor-ready smashes as he flips the late noughties classic ‘Walking On A Dream’ by Empire Of The Sun into a raucous Tech House anthem.

“This track was created to give a club vision to a special vocal: it combines an aggressive bass with tech house drums. ‘Walking On A Dream’ represents a really important release for my career because I feel my style is so recognisable in it, and it makes me really connect with people every time I play it. In the meantime, seeing it already played and supported by top DJs at the best festivals and clubs in the world literally represents what I'm living for right now: I'm walking on a dream.” - Merk (ITA).

Charting as Beatport’s second best-selling house artist of 2024, Italian-born London-based CASSIMM has earned his stripes as one of the most sought-after names on the global house circuit with hit releases via Toolroom, Defected, and Snatch!, and supporters like Honey Dijon and Marco Carola. Now, CASSIMM continues his superb run of form with a dancefloor-ready reinterpretation of Patrick Topping’s recent ‘Bonfire’ smash, which picked up widespread support from Pete Tong, Jamie Jones, and Gorgon City.

CASSIMM’s remix of ‘Bonfire’ flips the original into a proper hands-in-the-air house affair, opting for a slower bpm where jacking drums and rubbery basslines go to work down low as tension builds in the synths and the chopped vocals become ever-more trippy.

Solardo’s first-ever Trick record, ‘Psycho’, lands on April 11th, hot on the heels of the label's 100th release from head honcho Patrick Topping. The sweat-inducing title cut opens up proceedings in a rugged, stomping fashion with subtle hints of electroclash. The off-balance bass makes for a wonky workout while distorted synth pressure and anthemic sung-spoken vocals send the party wild. 'Fall Apart' is another equally raw and off-kilter track with a warped bassline, gritty synths, and whirring machine sounds offset by tripped-out vocals that descend into all-out dancefloor carnage.

Formed in 2014, Manchester duo Solardo skyrocketed to fame and have subsequently become one of house music’s biggest names. With residencies at revered clubs like Hï Ibiza, their chart-topping Sola imprint and omnipresent tracks and remixes for the likes of Ultra and Defected, they continue to dominate the scene and ‘Psycho’ on Trick drives them forward in 2025.

Over the past eighteen months, Max Styler has skyrocketed from rising star status to become one of the most talked-about names in modern house music. With a slew of Beatport #1s, top-tier support from BBC Radio 1 and Capital Dance, and a mammoth 40-show world tour hitting every major stage from Coachella to Tomorrowland, the California-born producer continues a remarkable run of form with his biggest year yet, now unveiling his debut release on Patrick Topping’s Trick label.

Lead track ‘Need You Tonight’ is a mainstage weapon – a whirlwind of turbo-charged synths and bass hits collide with explosive drum fills and anthemic vocal samples built for peak-time euphoria. On the flip, ‘Let Go’ takes a darker turn as Styler taps Chicago-based talent and 5150 label head Ōsé for a raw, acid-soaked workout. Warped FX and propulsive percussion come together in warehouse-shattering fashion while ominous vocals tear through the mix like a fervent call to the dancefloor.

With floor-filling releases on Toolroom, Moxy Muzik, and Repopulate Mars, and over forty million streams to his name, the UK mainstay continues to carve out a place among house music’s most consistent talents. Now, Howard steps out on Patrick Topping’s Trick imprint for the first time, delivering three old-school cuts across the ‘Dance All Night’ EP.

Kicking oﬀ the release is 'Dance All Night', a heavyweight house roller where stark synths streak across pumping drums. Clipped vocals amp up the energy, while warping filters build to a devastating peak-time drop. Next up, 'On The Floor' dials into deeper, jacking grooves laced with retro-tinted flourishes, spinbacks and turbocharged stabs, before 'Block Party' delivers a sweat-soaked closer fusing garage drums, growling basslines, and chopped-up 90s vocal fragments.

Italian native outfit GREEDO began making beats at a young age, experimenting with various styles from Melbourne Bounce to Future House before honing their sound into the groove-driven, minimal-leaning realms of Tech House. With an ever-growing catalog of releases on Armada Music, Material Trax, and Stereophonic, they have proven themselves as a duo to keep an eye on. On their debut Trick outing, GREEDO double down with a beefed-up dancefloor ode to Donna Summer’s timeless disco track, ‘Bad Girls’.

“‘Bad Girls’ is our love letter to the dancefloor energy that Donna Summer created – that unstoppable, liberating force that made everyone feel powerful and free. We wanted to honour her disco legacy while bringing it into today's underground scene, layering those classic grooves with house beats and rhythms that make the body move before the mind even catches up. It's about celebrating that fierce, unapologetic spirit that transcends generations.” - GREEDO.

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.

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.

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.

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.
