RICKSTAR, the high-voltage trap duo formed by acclaimed producers Ookay and Bailo, have officially dropped their highly anticipated CROWDWORK EP under their project name TRICKSTAR. Out now via Dim Mak, the five-track collection captures the duo’s signature blend of hard-hitting drops, experimental textures, and raw mainstage power.
Leading the charge is the standout single “BUMP,” a ferocious fusion of ominous synths, sharp vocal chops, and relentless trap percussion layered with retro tones and a touch of Jersey Club bounce. The EP also features “Halfstep,” the adrenaline-packed single released earlier, defined by its punchy drums, digital kicks, and electrifying synth lines.
“The CROWDWORK EP is a diverse and energy-induced project that showcases the many faces of TRICKSTAR,” the duo shares. “From mainstage trap like ‘Halfstep’ to more experimental grooves like ‘HEADBANGA,’ we strive to move the needle on what trap should sound like.”
Across the EP, TRICKSTAR demonstrates bold production versatility—balancing sub-heavy low-end power with inventive rhythmic patterns that redefine the boundaries of modern trap. With CROWDWORK, the duo cements their position as one of the genre’s most forward-thinking forces.
