After hearing “Mad Motion” teased across multiple stages at last weekend’s Arc Music Festival, there was no way I could get this track out of my head. The infectious rhythm, playful vocals, and undeniable energy had festival-goers buzzing, and I found myself waiting in anticipation for its official release. Today, that wait is over. Patrick Topping and Green Velvet have finally dropped “Mad Motion,” and it’s every bit as captivating as it was live.
Patrick Topping, known for his infectious beats and groovy basslines, has solidified himself as one of the leading figures in modern house music. His collaborations with artists like Green Velvet have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of the genre, and “Mad Motion” is no exception. Green Velvet, a legend in his own right, brings his signature blend of quirky vocals and techno-infused rhythms to the track, creating a synergy that can only be described as electric. Having previously worked together on universally sampled statement pieces like “Voicemail,” the duo continues to show their chemistry and understanding of the scene with this new release.
“Mad Motion” is a track designed for peak-time club sets. It’s built around a pulsating rhythm that gets under your skin from the moment the first beat drops. The lyrics echo the theme of movement and confidence, with a cheeky twist. Lines like “Clowning on the beat, HAHA-ing, body and my feet in motion” and “Their motion’s way too slow can’t hang with my tempo” emphasize the unstoppable energy the song aims to deliver.
Don’t talk about it, be about it
The repetition of “Mad Motion” drives home the sense of kinetic energy, as the track pushes listeners to let loose on the dance floor. It’s a command to get up, move, and embrace the vibe, leaving all inhibitions behind.

The verses challenge people to break out of their comfort zones, exemplified by the line “Comfortably uncomfortable, where’s the outcry?”
The track seems to play with the idea of superiority in rhythm and energy, mocking those who can’t keep up with the fast-paced vibe while flexing an almost rebellious confidence. The final lines, “The greatest flex is when you wave bye-bye,” add a playful yet assertive ending to the track, making it a perfect blend of empowerment and fun.
