Louis La Roche talks about the album,” Saturday Night Griever was written from April 2017 – June 2019. I set out to make this a collaboration record, with vocals on every song. It’s very much a Pop record, which is something I’ve delved in but not fully explored before. All the collaborations were done remotely except one, which was recorded at The Old Hit Factory in London. The albums title and opening track were inspired by what I was reading in 2017 about UK music venues closing, nightclubs struggling and people not going out as much as they used to.”

April 6, 2020 DJ and Music producer Alex Virgo releases new EP “Cheap Thrills”

DJ and Music producer Alex Virgo releases new EP “Cheap Thrills”

London-based DJ and producer Alex Virgo is the latest artist to debut on TRICK, dropping  ‘Cheap Thrills’, a club-ready, four-track EP, out 3rd April.

The title track kicks things off, a slick, synth-driven dancefloor-filler that sets the tone for the rest of the EP. ‘Flex’ then follows a similar route – high-energy, pumping house music that builds to a climax, before ‘Tallywhacker’ shifts things into more metallic, techno-oriented waters while losing none of the intensity. EP closer ‘Chorus Tool’ asserts itself with the kind of four-to-the-floor throb that the TRICK imprint is quickly becoming synonymous with.

Todd Edwards and Ten Ven remixes Picard Brothers’ debut song ‘Won’t Let Go’

UK Garage legend Todd Edwards and UK house producer Ten Ven have remixed ‘Won’t Let Go’, the debut single from French duo Picard Brothers.

The two-track release kicks off with a sensual, floor-filling remix from Edwards, punctuated by a driving bassline and maintaining the smooth vocals that made the original so special. Ten Ven’s ‘Nobody Remix’ then asserts itself with a soaring acid bassline that morphs into a disco-house groover.

Credited as one of the godfathers of UKG, Edwards can cite winning a Grammy and collaborating with Daft Punk amongst his long list of achievements. He has built a reputation around his hypnotic collage of cut-up samples over swung beats and lively disco-flavoured basslines.

House legend, Daft Punk collaborator, and Grammy winner Todd Edwards tipped for big things by the likes of Annie Mac and DJ Target, Ten Ven is an artist responsible for recent groove-heavy party vibes on labels including Greco-Roman, Noir, Partyfine, MTA, Weapons, Shadow Child’s Food imprint and Anjunadeep.

April 3, 2020 Lycio release sultry song ‘Nighfall’

Lycio release sultry song ‘Nighfall’

Alt-pop group Lycio have officially released their sultry single, ‘Nightfall’ via Lycio Records.  Their previous achievements include, but are not limited to headlining at Sofar Sounds London, live acoustic sessions aired on BBC Introducing, and performing at Alternative Escape 2019. They have also supported acts Rae Morris and Self Esteem. 

The group consists of Genie Mendez(vocals and writer), Charlie Kellie (keyboard) and Alex Lowe(drummer). Singer Genie usually writes lyrics about her current mental state, expressing her thoughts on life. Lycio’s main objective is to empower other females in the music industry, especially in terms of safety, where the band ensures that their fans feel safe and secure when coming to their live show venues . The group members cite various musical influences including Alt-J, Jack Garratt, Janelle Monae, London Grammar, Jungle, Bonobo, Grimes, Charli XCX, Haim, Tim Hecker, Fickle Friends, Imogen Heap, The XX, and Chvrches.

Lycio shares how ‘Nightfall’ came to be, “To be blunt, this is a sexy song. This song makes me feel sexy. Lyrically I don’t want to give too much away as I’d like the listener to draw their own conclusion, but the chorus line “keep your body close to heaven” in itself is fairly provocative. When I wrote the lyrics, I wrote them in a headspace of raw sexuality, I wanted there to be an air of hunger throughout. Down to the way it’s sung, the drawl of my vocal. I want this track to make people feel things and feel a certain way. Funnily enough I had two tracks in mind when writing the lyrics, Wicked Game (Chris Isaak) and Mondo Bongo (Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros), which are both equally saucy songs. So there you have it, Nightfall.”
