Love Regenerator x Solardo - Rollercoaster (Extended)

Join the dots then dash it all to hell. Dynamic duo Shadow Child and Mark Archer link up once again for another rave romp 'Morse Code' and no amount of emergency messages are going to save our souls!

An absolutely awesome collaboration, the force between Shadow Child and Altern-8 don and all-round rave pioneer Mark Archer has been strong for some time now. First appearing on Super Rhythm Trax together under their MASC guise in 2018 with almighty techno headbutt 'Non Stop', they returned two years later in early 2020 with equally fired-up 'Return Of The MASC' EP. Both EPs were celebrated and savoured at the levels you'd expect.

Two years later and the pair return to our speakers this time on Catz 'n Dogz Pets imprint and they're armed with two more unruly late night tear-ups. 'Morse Code' hits with that classic detuned synth sound that smacks of a million Fantazias and is driven by a quirky, memorable spoken word sample. 'Toto' plays the consummate foil with a ridiculously bulbous and addictive bass riff that shines and slaps with the sound and energy of both artists.

Collabs of this weight and span are often misguided and don't quite hit the spot. But Mark Archer and Shadow Child have the perfect fusion that celebrates the last 30+ years of this culture and have enough diesel in the tank for the next 30, too. Time to crack some codes!

Having already being singled out as an artist to watch out for in 2018, Will Easton presents his debut release on W&O Street Tracks with a fine triplet of tracks on the “18 Month Free Trial” EP.

The title track has notched up radio play already from the BBC Radio 1 team of Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Monki, as well as club support from the likes of Patrick Topping, Solardo and Waze & Odyssey, and it’s not hard to see why.  “18 Month Free Trial”, with its irresistible ascending synth riff, bumping groove and shuffling percussion, is a fully formed and fully road tested dancefloor heater!

“Take It To The Bridge” mashes up rave chops and rasping bass as Easton ramps up the BPMs; snare rolls and old school piano stabs make for one hell of an industrious production, whilst on “Karma”, arpeggiated keys and vocal refrains are joined by a hefty bassline and driving drums for a real ‘hands in the air’ house moment.

Patrick Topping has announced that he will be launching his own record label, TRICK, a home for Patrick to exhibit his versatility as a producer, as well as a platform to showcase the wealth of the emerging talent which he has been pushing in his DJ sets. Packed with three original tracks from Patrick, the EP-titled ‘Watch What Ya Doing’ comes with the launch of his label TRICK and as a much anticipated follow up to the late 2017 Hot Creations smash ‘Be Sharp Say Nowt’, which continued to dominate throughout 2018. A year which proved another hugely successful one for the UK producer who was called on for the remix duties for Calvin Harris and added Music Radar’s ‘Best House Producer/DJ 2018’’ and his third DJ Award for Tech House Artist to his list of accolade that include his DJ Mag ‘Best of British’ award and reaching number 11 in Resident Advisor’s 2016 top DJs poll. This debut release on TRICK showcases a change in sound from the acclaimed artist and an evolution of Patrick’s ever-maturing style. The British DJ displays a new style as a producer, one which has always been a part of his genre-hopping DJ sets, but for the first time as a producer, Patrick delivered an EP packed with darker techno undertones and raw influences.

Hot Creations welcome back the dynamic Shadow Child to drop heavyweight single The DBG, his first full release on the label since his earlier acclaimed remixes of Hot Natured and Miguel Campbell. Prolific techno producer Mark Broom also provides a compelling remix.

Thudding kicks launch The DBG paired with eccentric, fizzing electronics that bubble alongside, before reaching a midpoint climax, unfurling into a colossal bassline. Mark Broom adds his groove-laden techno stamp on the remix, transforming it with energetic hats, soulful vocals, horns and hints of the buzzing high pitched synth of the original. On Get Busy finely tuned 909 and 707 drum patterns interlock with a dancing acid synth line.

Having an already genre-bending catalogue of original works and remixes, Shadow Child's music has recently hit labels such as Unknown to the Unknown, Ovum and Super Rhythm Trax. He also has a bi-weekly radio slot on Rinse FM, a Wednesday slot shared with Mall Grab, and has graced the airwaves there for over 6 years. The acclaimed “Curated by..” project on his Food Music imprint this year, has so far seen him pull together remasters and brand new reworks of defining classic tracks by Zero B, SL2, Xpansions and Bump, not only by himself but with Krystal Klear, Rebūke, Jerome Hill, Chambray, 2 Bad Mice and many more. Added to this, he’s recently pulled back the curtains to reveal his ‘Polymod’ moniker, releasing on labels as forward-thinking as Dusky’s 17 Steps and Catz ‘N Dogz' Pets Recordings.

Let’s rewind to 1995, to Dan’s teenage years and when his friend Jack first introduced him to the original Moi Renee - Miss Honey. Ball Culture has always been a massive interest of Dan’s and one of the very first videos he ever saw when YouTube was in its infancy was the original, iconic Miss Honey. In turn, it became something iconic for his group of friends at the time and is completely nostalgic when talking about it now.

Dan loved the vocals, so when his gig at Little Gay Brother in London was approaching, he decided to get in the studio and make his own edit for the dancefloor in April 2018. “I sampled the drum loop from an old Armand Van Helden remix, added some bass and a little bit of a riff, and when I put the acapella over the top - it worked a treat” – says Dan’.

“It booted off!!” – that was the feedback from the show in London and at a later show at Sound in Los Angeles. “After that, I thought I might be onto something, as the crowd was going mental. So, I went back to the studio and made it sound bigger with some rave stabs and sent it out to a few people” adds Dan. The end result? An explosive slice of house with a rambunctious groove!

Fans are asking Dan every day about the release date, after Patrick Topping, Fatboy Slim and Annie Mac all dropped the track, and have been giving it the love it deserves ever since. Now we can finally announce, it’s going to be a special day on the 12th June, when ‘Honey’ will finally be available for purchase!

Premiere: Eats Everything 'Honey'

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.

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.
