SPREAD WINGS

exclusive | SY - Feel The Rhythm | Rawax

Returning to Rawax for a third time, SY flexes his electronic muscles again, hitting home with a four-tracker of superb beats for the world's dancefloors. His "Feel Love EP" sits right in the centre of the "is it old or is it new?"-category, leaning back with references to older tracks, whilst also leaning forward with crisp, tight production, as it to be expected on SY's releases. 

The EP opener is "Feel The Rhythm" which, to these ears, has a chunky riff which is giving an audio wink to the early 90s rave classic 'Hardcore Uproar'. This is no bad thing, as the energy is there from the start, so as the track progresses into a stabby keys riff, also reminiscent of the aforementioned rave track, we're nestled right in the heart of the dancefloor, which is exactly where this track is aimed. And it's on target, no messing around! A great punchy start to the EP right here.

We then move onto "Is It Love (Amore Mix)", which is a more subtle affair, but equally floor-friendly. A staccato bass riff pulls you into the groove, softly pulsing bleeps give a more spacey feel in the track, with knocking perc sounds coming together to conjure a wonderfully deep and warm cut which would sound pretty much spot-on at whatever time you dropped it.

Flipping the 12" over, we're greeted by "Feel (Longevity Mix)", which ups the BPM slightly and comes direct with a heavier thumping kick, which has rattling percussion swimming around it. The nagging bassline is joined by neatly placed synths and pads, all coming together to create a vibe which is both tough at the bottom end, but warm and floating at the top. Again this has hints which lean to the mid-90s, it definitely wouldn't have sounded out of place on a label such as Guerilla or Limbo - high praise indeed!

Closing the EP is the "Paradize Mix" of "Free", which kind of is a continuation of "Feel (Longevity Mix)", it basically takes the main percussion of the track, tweaks them slightly, then adds a vibey organ riff into the groove, replacing the softer synths and pads from it. This gives a slightly more angular sound from the flowing "Longevity Mix", but loses nothing in terms of club-friendliness in its transition. 

As with previous SY releases, "Feel Love" is a fully-formed, dancefloor-friendly EP, which has tracks which will work in both early and later sets alike, something which has to be applauded.

Leeds-based talent Morgan Cole makes his debut on Patrick Topping’s Trick with ‘Ready For Love’, a modernist rave two-tracker featuring a lively house cut backed by a techno bomb. A label continuing to discover and push new and emerging talent from across the scene, late-October sees Patrick Topping’s Trick imprint recruit Morgan Cole for his first release under his own name. Previously known as Noizy Devil, Cole has spent the last few years honing his craft within the studio, capturing the ears of leading names including Eli Brown, Richy Ahmed, PAWSA, and of course, Patrick Topping along the way. Brash, energetic, and pacey, ‘Ready For Love’ opens the release with a firm display of early 90’s hardcore tropes welded to modern house aesthetics. Looping hands-in-the-air piano riffs, cleverly pitched vocal refrains, and searing siren-synths atop robust stripped-back beats, Cole delivers an infectious dancefloor rouser. ‘I Can’t Stop’, driven by raw sawtooth bass, sees Cole make crafty use of another addictive vocal sample, nudging the Rave’O’Meter up to eleven. With an arsenal of highly effective synth flourishes, it acts as the perfect companion to the title track, with this release showing a producer injecting modernity into classic UK rave sounds.

The Shapeshifters’ studio mastery and dedication to his craft has resulted in singles that stand up alongside golden era disco records as much as they sound fresh on dancefloors today. His rich relationship with Glitterbox has yielded instant classics that epitomise the label’s ethos for preserving disco’s mission to uplift, especially with his latest release and debut collaboration with the Grammy, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Billy Porter, ‘Finally Ready’. Now two of dance music’s brightest talents step up to remix this joyous dancefloor number. Opening the release, Urbana Records boss and long-standing friend of Defected David Penn delivers his remix, bringing in his signature emotive piano chords and a rolling bassline to give the track a dancefloor-ready edge, while maintaining the uplifting feel of the original. Up next, Polish duo Catz ‘N Dogz deliver their Pride Remix, making no exception to their catalogue of flawlessly executed productions, this transformative mix brims with the energy of a nightclub in full flow, as swirling synths and a deep, wandering bassline bring the funk. With both mixes giving ‘Finally Ready’ a brand-new feel, the joyful message remains through Billy’s lyrics and the expertly crafted framework created by The Shapeshifters. Expect these mixes to create unforgettable dancefloor moments for years to come.

Ben Hemsley - King of Darkness EP

King Of Darkness
Please Playboy

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.

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.
