THE TRIP 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Demi Riquisimo and The Trip join forces to launch Tessalicious, debuting a collaborative project, splitting partly off from the former artist's own Semi Delicious imprint. The new four-tracker evidences a shared talent by the pair for producing a twisting, winding dance finesser mood, blending melodiousness and functionality so that we almost can't tell the difference between them. Intended to captivate festival-goers, the likes of 'Don't Go Away' and 'Rock The House' offer sensorial and distant vocal samples, though their rare audible moments - "how do you say... you're gorgeous!?" - manage to leave us feeling all fuzzy inside.

Review: This deep house release delivers a dynamic blend of energy, soul and groove. Side-1 opens with 'Funky Q Nice', an uptempo, energetic track that sets the stage for a lively dance floor experience. 'Do You Feel' follows with its smooth, melodic deep house vibe, offering soulful elements and a groove perfect for an extended dance session. On Side-2, 'Delightful Funk' brings a rolling bassline and futuristic feel, with addictive rhythms and solid production that keep the energy flowing. 'Original Sound' rounds off the EP with a deep house builder, gradually evolving and creating a powerful atmosphere, ideal for late-night sets. With its mix of soulful melodies, addictive basslines and energetic grooves, this release is ideal for deep house lovers looking to elevate their playlist and dance floor experiences.

Review: Off the back of their three releases in 2023, The Trip present their first remix EP, 'Remixes Part 1'. Inviting some of their favourite artists - Spray, Aldonna, Liquid Earth and Adam Collins - each have taken it in turn to remix a track from their back catalog on Tessellate. All bases are covered here - a bit of tribal, a tad more techy stuff, some prog and some acid thrown in for good measure. Best of the bunch is Aldonna's remix of 'Dont Panic', whose many-filtered melody lines overlie each other like layers on a cosmic cake.
