Bruno Furlan Debuts on Trick with 'Check This Out' Tech House

Patrick Topping's Trick has spent 2026 running a tight rotation of artists who understand the difference between tech house that works in a room and tech house that merely fills it. This week, the label adds a name that's long overdue for this kind of platform: Brazilian producer Bruno Furlan makes his Trick debut with a double A-side, 'Check This Out', dropping September 11. Two tracks, two different approaches to peak-time, zero filler. It's one of the cleaner label debut packages of the year.

Trick's 2026 Momentum

For context: Trick has been one of the more consistent quality markers in tech house throughout 2026. The label has stayed away from the bloated, four-on-the-floor-with-a-vocal releases that have dominated streaming-optimized tech house in recent years, leaning instead toward tracks that make sense in the second hour of a proper club set. Patrick Topping's own releases have maintained that standard, and the labels roster has filled in around him with producers who share the same floor-focused philosophy. Furlan fits that template — not because he plays it safe, but because his output has always prioritized function without abandoning texture.

Breaking Down 'Check This Out'

The A-side is unambiguous in its intentions. 'Check This Out' opens on a bulky, compressed kick pattern with percussion that sits tight against the beat — the kind of rhythmic construction that feels effortless but requires precision to pull off without sounding flat. The low-end is prominent throughout, giving DJs something to work with across different system calibrations. Where the track earns its peak-time designation is in the mid-section breakdown: raved-up siren stabs and anthemic rap vocals inject a streak of sleaze and attitude before the track opens up. The drop doesn't arrive quietly. This is a club weapon in the most direct sense — it exists to do one thing and does it without apology.

The Flip: 'Me Gusta'

The digital flip shows a different dimension. 'Me Gusta' operates at a lower emotional temperature, built on a rolling tech house groove rather than the A-side's peak-time aggression. Wall-rattling bass anchors the low end while crisp scratch elements in the mid-frequencies create movement without clutter. Sweeping filters and chopped vocal shots pile on tension through the track's second half, building to a payoff that feels earned rather than forced. Together, the two tracks describe the range any serious Furlan set covers — from the moments when a room is already warm and moving to the moments that get it there in the first place.

Who Is Bruno Furlan

For anyone still unfamiliar: Furlan is one of South America's most consistent house exports. His catalogue spans releases on Hellbent Records, Desolat, Toolroom, and more — a discography that covers underground credibility alongside the kind of festival-circuit visibility that Toolroom's platform provides. He's played Club Space, The Brooklyn Mirage, and the same festival circuit where Trick artists are regularly booked. His 'Show Your Moves' EP on Hellbent in April 2026 showed a producer in excellent form. The Trick debut was a natural next step — not a surprise, but a confirmation.

What This Debut Signals

Label debuts matter in tech house partly because of what they say about positioning. Trick is selective enough that an appearance there signals a certain quality threshold, and reaching that bar within South America's house music ecosystem carries its own significance. The Brazilian scene has produced a consistent stream of producers with strong rhythmic foundations over the past decade — a function of the country's deep relationship with percussive music that predates any contemporary genre discussion. Furlan channels that inheritance without making it the whole story. 'Check This Out' is available now across major platforms including Beatport and Traxsource. It's the kind of release that doesn't need a lot of context to justify its existence — the tracks speak clearly enough on their own.
