MistaJam & EMEXL – Boom Box EP [Trick]
MistaJam is a bonafide dance music tastemaker who has done it all in his award-winning career. From launching Capital Dance to picking up more than 250 million streams for his music and playing headline sets at world-beating clubs like Pacha and Hï Ibiza, he is an unstoppable force who now serves up more vital new sounds on Patrick Topping’s Trick alongside EMEXL.
Hailing from Newcastle, EMEXL has gone from local hero to rising household name off the back of big plays on BBC Radio 1, Capital Dance and KISS FM. His energetic sonics come with potent sound designs and plenty of charm that will get any crowd moving. Alongside MistaJam, the pair cook up a real storm with their new EP ‘Boom Box’, featuring two go-to anthems for label boss Topping across his sets this summer.
Opener ‘Boom Box’ is direct and chunky techno for peak time dance floors. Layers of percussion, clipped vocals and hypnotic grooves all lock you in before the rave-ready synth stabs take things to the next level. The high-octane ‘Stage 3’ has just as much old-school appeal with its throwback rave stabs and bright, flashy synths sure to get hands in the air over squared-off drums and dark, slamming bass.
