Tasty Techno Volume 1 Brown Sugga - I Need A Freak

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.

Dense & Pika U, My EP

Arriving on Patrick Topping’s Trick for the first time, the pair bring their big, booming techno to the label with two chunky tracks. Title track ‘U, My’ sees airy vocal chops floating over big kicks, knocking percussion and a hypnotic, looping low-end, combining to form a heavy club cut, while ‘Sun Sesh’ sees the duo reach for a combination of shuffling drums, tweaked-out FX, and rolling chords for a dynamic, chugging track.

One of the most exciting names in modern dance music, Eli Brown’s productions have graced Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave, Chris Lake’s Black Book Records, and now Patrick Topping’s Trick. Continuing this streak of dancefloor weapons with ‘Rudeboi EP’, the Bristolian DJ/producer combines his wide-ranging influences into three hard-hitting rave cuts.

‘Super excited to release my latest EP on Trick, a label that I feel is really pushing things forward sound wise. This EP tries to showcase my love of all things 90's, drawing influences from Jungle music, Detroit techno and the early rave scene. Hope you enjoy.’ - Eli Brown 

The title track sets the tone for the EP with rumbling bass drums and fast paced stabs offset by a classic jungle vocal. Continuing with the same energy, ‘Welcome To My House’ brings heavy four to the floor drops and squelchy, catchy acid lines. The final track ‘Don’t Think Much’ features an iconic monologue from Talk Show over a deep, hypnotic groove, closing out yet another anthemic EP.

Previously collaborating on 2020’s ‘Ultimate Distortion’, We Are The Brave label-boss Alan Fitzpatrick and Drumcode, Hot Creations, and Dirtybird star Rebūke join forces once again, this time for Patrick Topping’s Trick imprint. Recruiting Big Miz (Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Shall Not Fade) on remix duties, the result is a pair of no-holds-barred floor fillers destined for dancefloor mania. 

The original mix of ‘Nice & Cool Trigga’ sees pounding kicks and breakbeats wrestle with euphoric rave pads, forming an anthemic and heaving track. Big Miz’s remix sees the Glaswegian DJ/producer inject his signature club-friendly energy, twisting elements of the original into a rowdy, hands-in-the-air affair.

AJ Christou is back on his home label Boogeyman with more of his expertly designed and utterly compelling house grooves. This one follows many standout tunes on the likes of Cuttin' Headz and Robsoul Recordings, and an artist who is a regular at the world's finest clubs.

'Gory Love' kicks off with warm, vamping chords that bring the heat to a slick tech beat. The rolling bassline is utterly infectious and deft vocals finish it in style with hints of soul. 'Turtle Dove' has a heavier beat and is sprinkled with loose toms and percussion. The hi hats through are razor airy and the balmy synths that circle the groove bring that heady and jazzy feel. 'Noachis' is the closer and this one brings more brilliant punchy drum work and lush guitar riffs that speak of Ibiza sunsets and good time dances.

This is another standout EP from contemporary tastemaker AJ Christou.

Returning to Trick following their ‘U, My EP’ in 2022, Dense & Pika bring their big, booming techno back to the imprint with two more heavy hitters. Title track ‘Brunt’ combines thunderous kicks and hoover-esque synths with twisted vocals for a warehouse-filling affair, while ‘Bag of Beez’ sees the duo draw for crunchy, shuffling percussion and pumping low-end for a heavy yet tweaked-out B side.

Dense & Pika are a British electronic duo compromising Hypercolour label co-founder Alex Jones and Chris Spero, aka Glimpse. Heading up the Kneaded Pains imprint, which has played host to Eats Everything, James Welsh, and Will Clarke alongside their own productions, the duo have been at the forefront of hard-hitting house & techno since the project’s inception in 2011.

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.
