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.
2019 marked the beginning of a new journey for Braxton and as 2020 hits full speed, the British Producer and DJ returns with his debut Colorize EP, “Clockwork”.
The EP, consisting of the tracks ‘Clockwork’, ‘Serac’ and ‘Yoruba’, is an in-depth exploration of house music. Braxton’s unique sonic identity merges prog and deep house sounds effortless, delicately achieving a balance that will draw you in with an ever-evolving groove across the three tracks.
Braxton’s label-debut on Anjunadeep (‘When The Sun Goes Down’), his official remix of Dezza’s ‘Juniper’ and his addition to the Anjunadeep Vol. 11 compilation (‘Chiaroscuro’) earlier this year has resonated with old fans and new listeners, as well as catching the attention of fellow industry tastemakers such as Pete Tong, Danny Howard and MistaJam.
Braxton is no stranger to the club circuit with performances at The Nest, Fabric and The Arch matched by plays from Cristoph, Yotto, John Monkman and Lane 8, whilst past remixes for GRADES, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Tourist lead him on his new path to a deeper sound.

Speaking on the collab, Felix Cartal tells us, “In ‘Mine’ each verse is about a different kind of love. In Verse 1 we have been sixteen and your childhood, Verse 2 a post-college adult and, The Bridge is a more mature adult looking back. We wanted it to be folk-ish in melody and in production to emphasize the focus on it being a narrative, really story-driven. Finally, the drop melody is Sophie singing a clean sweet melody and it being distorted kind of like what happens when one looks back on memories. We often remember them differently as time passes”
