4 For The Floor EP with Patrick Topping

Certified rave alchemist Patrick Topping returns with the two-part "4 For The Floor EP" on his indomitable Trick imprint. His first EP release since the 2021 smash "Planet Session," the Newcastle mainstay taps into the light and dark shades of his ever-evolving sonic register across parts one and two, respectively.

The anthemic "Bonfire" opens the first installment with driving drums and textured synth details as Dark Dhalia's sensuous vocals soar above. "Vogue" feat. Franky is five irresistible minutes of pumping house music with catchy pop vocals. There's a hint of contemporary Euro-dance fun to the synths that will get hands in the air as radiant chords dart about, and a rugged bassline never quits down low. It's pure party-starting brilliance.

After a few years of singles, it feels good to release an EP again! Four different styles of dance floor 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 installment sees Topping unite with Grammy-winning singer Jinadu on opener "The Limit," a six-minute dancefloor epic where roughed-up drums and crunching low end set the pace while Jinadu's spacey original vocals wash over cosmic swirling synths. "The Dance Floor Is Lit" heads for full-throttle techno territory, fusing supercharged drums, rowdy synths, and intoxicating vocals from Polish-Canadian singer PIOTR to round out Patrick Topping's fastest track to date.

Even by his own standards, Geordie powerhouse Patrick Topping has had a mammoth year, from the launch of Trick Fest to his residency at Hï Ibiza for the second year running to countless smash singles. Topping and his Trick imprint have long been at the forefront of the electronic scene, giving rise to a vibrant array of breakout talents and diverse sounds like Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing, and Schak, to name a few. With a long list of accolades to his name, including "Best British DJ" at the 2022 DJ Mag awards and a jam-packed tour diary, Topping is one of the most in-demand DJs in the world.
