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.

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.

Tasty Techno Volume 1 Lewis Murch - Dizzle

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.

Ben Hemsley - NE29 (Original Mix)

Moxy Muzik continues to set its own agenda with a fantastic new EP, this time from boss man Darius Syrossian with fresh remixes from Ben Rau and Phil Weeks.

Syrossian is in the middle of a busy summer of gigs at Off Sonar, DC10 and Amnesia that follows on from a run of 7 sold out shows in a row at Joshua Brooks in Manchester before moving the party to South Nightclub for more of the same. 

Of course, his Moxy Muzik label goes from strength to strength with tour events in Berlin, Paris and London, and releases featuring a timeless selection of standout house tracks that are getting DJs and dancers hot under the collar all over the world. This new EP is no different.

Syrossian's original 'Bull Stomp' is a tough thumping house disco techno cross over tune which you will find hard to pigeon hole rock solid kick drums and Robert Hood style claps on the kicks & a disco tinged rolling heavy bass line makes this track a peak time dance floor destroyer. Old school vocal samples add raw energy, and the whole thing builds to a tense peak before erupting once again and bringing pure euphoria to the floor.

Ben Rau is a master of drums who has released on the likes of Get Physical and really takes you on a trip. That is the case here with his lush, spaced out and late night house remix that takes you into the cosmos. Warm pads and soul infused vocal coos add real character to this most emotive groove.

Last but not least, Robsoul man and French house titan Phil Weeks serves up a Ghetto Dub that is pure sleaze, with infectious drum loops and deft percussion all getting under your skin and keeping you on your toes.

These are three more vital tunes from Moxy Muzik that all offer something equally powerful & follow ok from 3 very strong releases all hit either number one or top 5 in the charts on digital or flying off the shelves on vinyl.

Breakthrough British DJ and Producer Josh Hvaal touches down on the formidable Hot Creations label this February with two striking cuts ready to be unleashed on the world.

“I feel honoured to be releasing music on Hot Creations, Jamie and Lee have always been a massive influence on me, so to have their backing and belief in my sound feels amazing. The title track 'The Sound' came about by accident, I was playing with a few more modular sounds and accidentally put one of the MIDI drum patterns I’d made onto the bassline channel, then boom 'The Sound' was born." Josh Hvaal.

On The Sound a pumping kick and spirited hi-hats lead into a dizzying synth line, progressively more frenzied pulses of electronics are thrown in and collide to create dance floor pandemonium. Stan Smith features more lively percussion, classic rave stabs and bright samples to produce an anthemic melody that moves with bounce over a jacking bassline.

2020 looks set to be a big breakthrough year for 24-year-old Josh Hvaal as he makes his mark on the underground dance music scene. He has already amazed audiences with appearances at Stealth, XOYO, EGG, Lab11 and Lightbox.

His unique and extensive catalogue of high-octane club-ready music influenced by the likes of Paul Johnson, DJ Deeon and DJ Haus has already hit some of the most renowned clubs and festivals in the world, being played by Jamie Jones, Richy Ahmed, Latmun, Pawsa, Seb Zito and more. After catching the eye of Jamie Jones with his original and unconventional productions, he was immediately signed for this debut release. With planned releases on Hottrax and his label Forum records still to come, expect to hear much more of Josh as the year unravels.

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.

Trick is an acclaimed dance music label and event brand owned and curated by global dance music icon, Patrick Topping.

The Newcastle native launched Trick in 2019 as a platform to spot and champion emerging artists, both in the studio and behind the decks. Since then, Trick has become one of the scene's most popular underground dance music event brands and record labels, launching the careers of some of the UK's biggest ticket-sellers and creating a cult fan following along the way.

As a record label, Trick is set to his 100 releases in 2024 and has given an outlet to many new signings who have since become some of the fastest-rising stars in the UK, such as Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing and Ewan McVicar, who delivered platinum-certified “Tell Me Something Good” along the way. 

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.
