Tech 4

As we approach the warmer months - we welcome summertime with a nine-track VA compilation featuring a host of label favourites and new faces. 

Yugo Sanchez’s ‘Keep On Going’ kicks things off with driving sub-bass and rippling grooves accompanied by vocal injections and subtle melodies from end to end to carve out an upbeat terrace track with loads of flair and personality. ‘Need’ sees Lautaro Bidegain deliver a robust drum-focused underground cut filled with deepened tones and widened atmospheric scenes. 

Ayala042’s ‘Bubbles People’ flips the script with a bumpy late-night number, bringing swinging rhythms, moody melodies and quirky tonal fills alongside an attitude-laden vocal. Danilo Milani brings it back to peak time with ‘If You’, combining pumping drums with a pulsating sub-bassline and rap vocals for a landslide of high-energy Tech House flavours. 

Gela#ter strips things back with ‘Dance’, mixing a jacking flow of drums with a rhythmic bassline, subtle vocal chops and cleverly panned percussive elements to create a clean-cut vibe builder. MartinoResi & Lit Square’s ‘Flight’ keeps the energy at a premium with big-room Tech flavours. Weighty drums and roaring sub-bass meet crisp percs, synth licks and a commanding female vocal. 

Jorge Lefenda’s ‘Love The Music’ combines bumpy drum work with subterranean energy, rolling around atmospheric builds and a sultry female vocal - complemented by hypnotic harmonies and suspenseful transitions. ‘Topanga’ showcases a high-energy rolling format from Luis Pergo that builds around a reeling vocal hook and endless layers of tonal percussion alongside watertight drum work and another mammoth bassline. DZR rounds off the release with ‘Shake That’ - an archetypal U&U fast-paced terrace ace roller with endless energy from the outset.

The ‘Summer’22’ compilation is out on 9th June 2022 on Unnamed & Unknown.

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.
