Previously appearing on Hot Creations, DIRTYBIRD, Turbo, and beyond, the Southern Californian live act SHADED has been steadily rising through the ranks of modern dance music, earning fans in BBC Radio 1 mainstay Pete Tong, Patrick Topping, and many more. Delivering two banging tracks for Topping’s Trick imprint, the release is completed with a remix from Hot Creations honcho Jamie Jones, who continues his stellar form of unstoppable and undeniably dancefloor rocking remixes and releases.
To celebrate SHADED’s debut on Patrick Topping’s TRICK with ‘Midnight Minds’, he shares with us 10 of his favorite tracks of the moment.
01. Truncate – Hardware Jam 4 (Original Mix) – TRUNCATE
‘This vibe bumps! Truncate has been one of my fave produces and crushes out of southern California.’
02. FJAAK & Tobi Neumann feat. Justice Mirabal – Feel You – SPANDAU
‘FJAAK has been another one of my faves that just do their own thing. A perfect mix between jacking, dubby, and techno funk.’
03. Andhim – Choose Love (Gerd Janson Remix) – Higher Ground
‘This is one of those records where the whole crowd is going to go bananas. It just rips and uplifts.’
04. Dubfire, Kolsch – Louisiana – IPSO
‘Heady and wild! This tune is a relentless banger that will crush the floor while tripping everyone out at the same time.’
