Straight from the heart of Amsterdam’s vibrant club scene, PIV founder Prunk and RED 87 offer up a first-time collaboration with their ‘Express EP’, landing 23rd May. Featuring three original cuts and a remix from UK duo RUZE, the release captures the duo’s shared passion for soulful house grooves—delivered just in time for summer. 

Opening with the title track, ‘Express’ brings together lush synth pads, simmering hi-hats, and echoed vocal snippets, crafting a warm, hypnotic energy that reflects the pair’s signature sound. RUZE steps in to reimagine the original with a sun-soaked, transportive flair, adding vibrant textures and an irresistible late-night feel. On ‘Listen’, Prunk and RED 87 showcase their knack for stripped-back club music, layering rippling melodies and tight, luscious percussion built for both the dancefloor and the afters. Closing cut ‘Break It Down’ tips its hat to classic Hot Creations energy—funk-laced, percussive, and oozing with charm, it wraps up the EP with a high-octane flourish. 

"When I was a young Prunk, I had a Hot Creations record on my wall. I remember playing all kinds of tracks from the label over the last 15 years, and I still do. From Hot Natured and Jamie Jones to Burnski and Danny Daze. It's one of those labels that is on almost every producer's release bucket list. After a few amazing shows at Paradise Ibiza over the last summer, I am finally releasing on the label. Obviously, a dream come true, and I'm happy to do it with one of my really good friends RED 87. A great EP, right in time for summer!" - Prunk. 
“When I started producing music, I never imagined that one day I’d release on Hot Creations. Honestly, it’s a dream come true. Hot Creations is and has always been a huge inspiration for me—many tracks and signed artists have shaped my sound and love for house music. It feels surreal to now be part of that legacy, and I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity. Also very thankful to share this moment with Prunk, an artist and very close friend I deeply respect. This project came together so naturally, as these tracks were made with love, groove, and good energy. It’s giving house music that feels right for the summer, and I can’t wait to celebrate that. Looking forward to more!” - RED 87 

With a genre-blending sound that fuses house, minimal, and beyond, Prunk has established himself as a key figure in the global house landscape. His releases on labels like Defected, Djebali, and Cecille, alongside his own PIV imprint—regularly topping Beatport’s best-seller charts—have earned him a global following, resonating with over 420,000 monthly Spotify listeners. Joining him is RED 87, whose refined and eclectic sound has caught the attention of selectors like Sidney Charles, DJ Steaw and Kellie Allen. Known for his delicate, groove-driven productions and underground sensibility, RED 87 proves a perfect creative match for Prunk on this milestone label debut for Hot Creations. 

Prunk & RED 87 ‘Express’ EP drops via Hot Creations on 23rd May 2025.

Ilario Alicante’s label presents a ten-track compilation with familiar names and debutants.

Since its launch in 2024, Ilario Alicante’s Sound D’Elite has fast earned recognition as a hub for both established and rising voices in the underground scene. As part of Sound D’Elite’s mission to celebrate global dance music culture, the label now unveils its first Various Artists compilation, ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’ — the inaugural chapter of a brand-new VA series, timed to coincide with Sonar 2025 festival.
Bringing together a selection of trusted contributors and fresh arrivals, the ten-track compilation captures the essence of Sound D’Elite’s forward-thinking approach, with London’s Antss kicks things oﬀ with ‘Can’t Right Now’, delivering a relentless groove packed with energy and bounce. Spanish duo The BeatBoy’s take a darker turn on ‘Closer’, blending moody atmospheres and rolling percussion. Italy’s White Oﬀ brings a rumbling low-end pressure on ‘All Ma Ladies’,
primed for late-night floors.
Making his debut appearance on Sound D’Elite, Justin Rabin experiments with glitchy textures and playful vocal chops in ‘Handle This’, while returning favourites BizZa, GruuvElement’s, and Artslaves, deliver their trademark punch and precision. Vanny Granata, and Piero Acinapura, bring their own distinct flavours, ranging from crisp, techy rhythms to stripped-back funk. Closing out the compilation, Antonello Camboni and Stefano Crabuzza join forces on ‘About Music’, merging their individual styles into a deeply grooving dancefloor tool.
With ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’, the label sets the tone for what promises to be a forward-thinking series—one that captures the energy of the scene’s landmark events while continuing to champion innovative artists from across the globe

Riding high as ANTS’ Next Gen 2024 winners, London-based DJ duo FIRZA are in the midst of a breakout twelve months, with a busy 2025 schedule within Europe coupled with recognition of their percussive sound from the likes of Marco Carola and Joseph Capriati. With previous releases on Microhertz, NATURE, and WYLD, to pair now join Jamie Jones’ Hottrax with their three-track EP ‘Erase It’ on 27th June, bringing their dancefloor-ready sound to a label they’ve long admired. 

“Releasing on Hottrax is a huge milestone in our music career, and it's a massive honour being welcomed onto a label we admire so much. Jamie has been a big inspiration to us from the start, and we’ve been sending him music for years, hoping for this moment. Hottrax has always been a go-to label for our sets, and we’ve played tunes from its catalogue at almost every gig we've done, so to now be part of that legacy is surreal. These tracks were made with the dancefloor in mind and to bring energy during those peak-time moments in the club. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making them!” - FIRZA. 

Title track ‘Erase It’ unfolds through rich, undulating grooves and sub-shaking basslines, layered with crisp tech beats and rolling, low-ends. Next, ‘Feel 4 U ’leans into a darker rhythm with echoing textures that shimmer through, showcasing FIRZA’s knack for groove-powered direction. Closing out the EP, ‘Closer’ centres on percussive-driven beats, where wobbling sonics and thumping patterns define the track’s vibrant energy and dynamic vibe.
