Paris mainstay POPOF debuts on Patrick Topping’s Trick, alongside collaborations with Alan Fitzpatrick and Mumbai Science. 

A name that has long been in the spotlight, powerhouse DJ & producer POPOF is known for his extensive output on high-grade labels from Cocoon to Truesoul and his in-demand remixes of legendary artists like Depeche Mode, Moby and The Chemical Brothers. Here, the Form Music boss links up with techno titan Alan Fitzpatrick and Belgian duo Mumbai Science as he makes his epic three-track debut on Trick. 

“For this EP, I wanted to update the tracks I loved to play back in the day and give them a more contemporary Techno touch, and I'm super happy with the results. These tracks are dancefloor killers!” - POPOF 

Teaming up for the first time on ‘Rough ‘N’ Raw’, POPOF and Fitzpatrick go straight for the jugular, combining thunderous kicks, soaring sirens and turbulent bass. Then comes ‘Gold’ alongside Mumbai Science with its dirty, acid-dipped ascending bassline that will have warehouses in raptures before POPOF goes solo on ‘Good Grass’, delivering shuffling drum work and twisted FX for another heavy-hitter.

Returning on Trick for his second solo outing following his 2022 ‘One & Only’ EP, Ōsé brings his darker-leaning take house & techno to a new high-octane three-track EP. Born and bred in Chicago, the up-and-comer has dropped a string of releases on quality labels such as Arcane, Relief and his own 5150.

“Heavy Metal isn’t just a genre of music; it’s an attitude and how you carry yourself. It’s being authentically yourself, whether you’re a rocker, raver or somewhere in between. For my latest release, ‘Heavy Metal’, I wanted to showcase a wide range of sounds, genres, and feelings that represent me” - Ōsé

Title track, ‘Heavy Metal’ wastes no time in bringing rave-ready energy with its deadly acid-licked bassline and distorted monotone notes before ‘Lend An Ear’ cranks things up a notch, combining driving kicks and bass with claustrophobic synth work. Closing out the EP is the aptly named ‘7 Minutes In Heaven’, a seven-minute techno workout utilising swinging percussion and ominous vocals.

As with most of Parker’s output, ‘To The Edge’ is as devastatingly simple as it is effective, with an airtight, pumping groove underpinning an earworm riff and soaring vocal. Paired back and Euro-influenced, ‘To The Edge’ is dancefloor gold from a DJ/Producer who’s made his name turning his hand to a myriad of disco, house and techno styles.

A secret weapon in Parker and Topping’s sets for the past few years, ‘To The Edge’ has had an even longer gestation period that traces back to Parker’s London record shop trawls in the nineties.

“I remember buying Hand’s Burn’s ‘Good Shot at 'Plastic Fantastic (RIP) in Covent Garden in late 1997. The riff would occasionally pop back into my head as an idea to base something around, but after rediscovering my (battered) copy in 2018, I decided to get in the studio to work on a track straight away.” - Spencer Parker, Dec 2023.

Now, ‘To The Edge’ is set to be yet another winner for Spencer Parker and Trick.

Trick is characterised by bespoke productions and exciting line-ups featuring artists at the forefront of the house and techno world.

Whilst partnering with premiere promotors in key cities, such as Terminal V in Edinburgh, The Warehouse Project in Manchester and Thick As Thieves in Melbourne, as well as booking some of the biggest and most cutting-edge names in the scene, from Floorplan to Green Velvet, Luciano to Fjaak, Trick continues to push its own up & coming artists, the likes of Elliot Adamson, Ewan Mcvicar & Ammara.
