Blending the boundary between techno and house music, Eli Brown teams up with Talk Show for an acid-fast techno-inspired banger, Trouble.
Relentless from its opening, ‘Trouble’ is a high octane cut of punk-inspired techno complete with propulsive synths, an unceasing percussive line; it features the deadpan vocal line courtesy of Talk Show vocalist Harrison Swann. Rather than leaning into each other’s stylistic traits, both acts ramp up the intensity; with Eli Brown injecting an acid-infused potency while Swann snarls vengeful declarations over the track’s foreboding atmospheres. Somehow both euphoric and pummeling, the track represents a perfect collision of cultures from an inherently uncompromising artist bringing one of the most impactful new acts in the UK into his world.
Matching each other’s sonic ferocity with unflinching power, ‘Trouble’ echoes the blueprint built by seminal Bristolian electronic and punk acts such as Massive Attack and IDLES, building on their hallowed formula with ease. An explosive example of bringing two unstoppable forces in their own worlds together, ‘Trouble’ is the result of fruitful experimentation of collaboration, one that will yield further offerings in the near future.

Eli Brown’s Killer placed the Bristol producer firmly on the global electronic music map. Notching a third Annie Mac’s Hottest Record In The World on day of release, ‘Killer’ marked a new chapter in a career lauded by the likes of Carl Cox, Green Velvet, Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, The Blessed Madonna, and more. Continuing his work with Calvin Harris as part of his Love Regenerator project, Green Velvet, Joe Goddard, and other premiere dance producers, Eli Brown’s reputation is largely based within the subversive. Bringing dark, ethereal tones to the fore within his own work, Brown’s alternative approach to production draws Dance Music’s elite into his darkly-hued atmospheres, leading them into uncharted territory.
