Trick welcomes SHADED back to the label with his next hit, ‘Naughty Mofo’.

LA-based SHADED brings the heat with his second two-tracker for Patrick Topping‘s globally renowned Trick. Known for his releases on Hot Creations, DIRTYBIRD, Desert Hearts, and Turbo, SHADED continues to signify his place at the forefront of groove-driven music on his latest EP.

Across the release, SHADED delivers a futuristic dance-floor track packed with warped vocals repeating over the top of slick 80’s synths in ‘Naughty Mofo’. ‘Hustla Baby’ ups the energy, leading into choppy drums paired with a rumbling bassline and catchy samples for an essential peak time track.

“Psyched to be back on TRICK! Both of these tunes came about just chilling in the studio with no real plan. ‘Naughty Mofo’ is essentially a follow-up to my last Trick tune ‘Bad Mofo’ but with a more groove-laden direction. I flipped on the mic, started singing, and the vocal hook was born… EZ. ‘Hustla Baby’ was aimed at a vibe I tend to love which is that groove plus drive feeling. I feel this EP represents the current state of my musical journey: Serious dance floor music that doesn’t take itself seriously, you feel’!” – SHADED
