Eli Brown – Rudeboi EP [Trick]

One of the most exciting names in modern dance music, Eli Brown has earned the respect of the very top names in house and techno such as Adam Beyer, Reinier Zonneveld, Solomun & Carl Cox to name a few. His dark, brooding records have been signed to dance music’s leading underground labels including Reinier Zonneveld’s Filth On Acid, Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave, Factory 93, Eli’s own hard house/techno label Arcane, and now Patrick Topping’s Trick. Continuing this streak of dancefloor weapons with ‘Rudeboi EP’, the Bristolian DJ/producer combines his wide-ranging influences into three hard-hitting rave cuts.

‘Super excited to release my latest EP on Trick, a label that I feel is really pushing things forward sound wise. This EP tries to showcase my love of all things 90’s, drawing influences from Jungle music, Detroit techno and the early rave scene. Hope you enjoy.’ – Eli Brown

The title track sets the tone for the EP with rumbling bass drums and fast-paced stabs offset by a classic jungle vocal. Continuing with the same energy, ‘Welcome To My House’ brings heavy four to the floor drops and squelchy, catchy acid lines. The final track ‘Don’t Think Much’ features an iconic monologue from London post-punk outfit,Talk Show over a deep, hypnotic groove, closing out yet another anthemic EP.
