Patrick Topping returns with the two-part ‘4 For The Floor’ EP on his Trick imprint. His first EP release since the 2021 track ‘Planet Session’, the Newcastle artist taps into the light and dark shades of his production style across parts one and two, respectively.
‘Bonfire’ opens the first instalment with driving drums and textured synth details as Dark Dhalia’s vocals soar above. 'Vogue' feat. Franky is five minutes of pumping house music with pop vocals. There's a hint of contemporary Euro-dance fun to the synths that aim to get hands in the air as chords dart about and a rugged bassline never quits.
Patrick Topping: "After a few years of singles, it feels good to release an EP again! Four different styles of dancefloor tracks, each with a different unreal vocalist. I’m so excited to show this range of sounds, all within one release. I think it’s a good representation of how I DJ at the moment, going from vocal tech house to upbeat 80s-influenced synth melodies, to dark melodic tech house to the fastest track I’ve put out yet at 145 BPM, touching on the hard techno I like to dip into.”
The second instalment sees Topping unite with Grammy-winning singer Jinadu on opener ‘The Limit’, a six-minute dancefloor track where roughed-up drums and crunching low end set the pace while Jinadu’s original vocals wash over swirling synths.
‘The Dance Floor Is Lit’ heads for full-throttle techno territory, fusing drums, synths and vocals from Polish-Canadian singer PIOTR to round out his fastest track to date.
