Following up on their recent original work for Proton Music, Trilucid return to the label with a three-track offering in the shape of ‘A Moment / Stratos’.

A producer duo with a strong and impressive career, Trilucid have been prime movers within the music industry for over 15 years. Coming together as Trilucid in 2009, their performances behind the decks has seen a 5-year residency at Ministry of Sound’s Gallery in London, while more than a double century of production credits have shone a light on another aspect of their considerable skillset.

With releases on the likes of Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto Records, Darin Epsilon’s Perspectives Digital, and Paul Thomas’ UV, Trilucid have operated at the upper echelons of the underground dance industry with a mature and emotive sound. Regulars on Proton Music, a 2019 debut remixing Stas Drive, with an erstwhile production partner, Phil Martyn, was quickly followed by the ‘Glint’ original EP later that year. ‘Astral’ followed in mid-2020 before further remixes for Pole Folder, Petar Dundov and Rick Pier O’Neil, while 2022 then saw the release of the emotive twin-track ‘The Loved Are Never Lost’ in July.

Now returning with a further EP, ‘A Moment’ is founded upon a powerful beat and tight groove that revels in dynamic rapid-fire shakers. A smooth bassline enters the fray while immaculate motifs supply easy dancefloor character. Evolving with pad swirls, call/answer melodic phrasing and shimmering arpeggios, Trilucid’s club knowledge is in full evidence as the track waxes and wanes with ease across its duration to create an immaculate dancefloor stormer. A stripped-back, ‘Sunrise’ version allows the sumptuous melodies to flow unhindered while a strong cadence is created from the grooved bassline and plucked synth lines.

‘Stratos’ continues the powerful dancefloor character of its predecessor as a woodblock cuts through the percussive top line. A cascading swathe of melodies soon filters into sonic view as keys, pads, and arpeggios combine in a delightful collage of sound. Hitting its stride in the second half, a dynamic bass pattern adds club-friendly force as a chorus of stereo-panned effects make their presence felt before a key change sets up a spine-tingling finale full of dancefloor prowess.

Through ‘A Moment / Stratos’, Trilucid ably illustrate their impressive production talent and dancefloor knowledge.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘A Moment’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
