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.

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.

‘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

‘Tell Me Something Good’ sees the Scottish DJ/producer cover Rufus & Chaka Khan’s 70s jam of the same name, twisting catchy vocals and huge synth stabs into an ecstatic peak time club weapon. ‘Delta’ brings the tempo down, but keeps the energy levels high as piano chords drift effortlessly across a chugging breakbeat and rolling basslines, making for a feel-good closing track to another standout release from Trick.

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.

Patrick Topping - Planet Session Remix EP TRICK041
Remixes by Reinier Zonneveld, Deborah De Luca and Rebuke 

Recruiting some of the most sought after acts in modern dance music, Patrick Topping pulls together a no-holds-barred collection of techno reinterpretations of his space-themed ‘Planet Session EP’ for his consistently impressive Trick imprint.
“Buzzing with these techno remixes! All three are absolutely banging and take the originals to new levels.
Reinier, Deborah & Rebūke are three of my favourite producers, and I’m so happy they agreed to do it and smashed them to bits!” - Patrick Topping. On Reinier Zonneveld’s remix, the Filth On Acid boss warps Topping’s vocals from ‘Planet Session’ into a pounding track complete with ravey stabs and grinding low-end. Sola_mente Records founder Deborah De Luca flips ‘Quick To The Mothership’ into a trippy, late-night techno cut, before Drumcode, Hot Creations, and We Are The Brave affiliate Rebūke rounds out the release with a sharp, jacking take on Topping’s ‘Lift Off’.

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.

Patrick Topping - Turbo Time TRICK002

With Topping describing the EP’s title track as the “heaviest” thing he’s ever produced, ‘Dungeon Freak’ is an unrelenting slab of rave techno, with Daddy Dino’s deadpan, spoken-word vocals only adding to it’s dark aura. Similarly cold and heavy, ‘Snide’ is a chunky, metallic number that continues to build in intensity across its seven minutes.     

“This EP is more like the vibe of ‘Watch What Your Doing’ EP. The title track is so dark, with mad ravey synths but the bit I’m most excited about is the vocal! 
“The phrase ‘the techno dungeon’ is really just a daft thing me and mates used to say years ago about when you are locked on the dancefloor and can’t leave because your so into the music. So it’s more a metaphorical place in your mind, than it is an actual dungeon or venue!”

TRICK was initially launched as a platform to exhibit Topping’s versatility as a producer, as well as a platform to showcase the wealth of emerging talent which he has been pushing in his DJ sets. Prior to ‘Dungeon Freak’ he has released two EPs on the label, ‘Watch What Ya Doing’ and ‘Turbo Time’. The latter of which was selected as the ‘Hottest Record’ on BBC Radio 1, gaining support from the likes of Gerd Janson, Denis Sulta, Fisher, Diplo, Eats Everything and Jamie Jones.

Patrick Topping - Snide TRICK004

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.

Elliot Adamson and Justin Jay collaborate on Patrick Topping’s Trick for an energetic release entitled ‘Send It’, featuring vocals from DABJ's Big Miz and a remix from Dance Mania legend DJ Deeon. 
Since debuting in recent years both artists have been on a perpetual rise. UK artist Adamson continues to be one of the most talked-about house producers who self-released three albums on his [IDEA] label last year, receiving his second Hottest Record in The World from BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac and later saw him nominated for Best Producer at DJ Mag’s Best Of British Awards. He’s since become resident and assistant A&R for Trick parties and label. 
Hailing from Los Angeles, Justin Jay is an artist who’s carved a niche halfway between the world of club music and the psych/indie/jam rock-scene. He’s been named a Future Star by Pete Tong and made the cover of January’s edition of DJ Mag as part of the Dirtybird Records crew, but is equally known for his multidimensional live shows, his expressive singing/songwriting, and being the captain of his band/collective/record label - Fantastic Voyage. 
‘Send It’ is a tough cut driven forward using lively percussion, a heady bassline and infectious vocal cuts from young Scot, Big Miz. ‘Take A Ride’ ups the tempo, blending thudding house with disco tropes, sporadically breaking up the arrangement with an upbeat vox sample. Maintaining the release’s momentum, ‘Get Mental’ is the third original on the package and is destined to inject energy into any dancefloor with its relentless kicks and analogue bassline. 
DJ Deeon remixes ‘Send It’, incorporating relentless snares and squelchy acid - demonstrating why the Chicago based icon is one of the very greats and hasn't stopped producing ghetto house tracks that do nothing but bang.

Elliot Adamson & Justin Jay - Send It TRICK009

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.

Tying things together, ‘heavy bad yin’ is a rumbling cut that powers onwards courtesy of robust drums, swinging hats and a squelchy acid lead.

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.

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.
