Kai Rodriguez makes his debut outing on Hot Creations, delivering his two-track ‘The Thrill’ EP. 

With his late-2021 Hottrax debut ‘Underground’, DJ/producer Kai Rodriguez gave the house scene a first glimpse  of what’s to come with the 25-year-old UK talent’s breakthrough release remaining in heavy rotation for head  honcho Jamie Jones across the Ibiza season and beyond. Having since featured on bubbling US imprint Revival  New York, he steps things up a level as he reveals his first material of 2023 and his Hot Creations debut with ‘The Thrill’.
 
“Empire of the sun have got to be up there as being one of my favourite electronic duos of all time. They  had a huge influence on the EP and it’s inception. ‘Walking on a Dream’ is one of their more popular and  classic tracks and resonates with me. 2022 was a year of successes within my musical career, and a sign  that I am on the right path towards the things I want to achieve. I wanted to amalgamate that with a piece  of music, and from this idea, ‘The Thrill’ came into fruition.  

‘Sum’ Bout’ was a track that I’d be sitting on for a while. It was one of my first tracks that had genuine  positive feedback from artists that I look up to, and felt that the sound really complimented ‘The Thrill’. I’m  glad that it’s found a good home. I’d like to thank JJ again for believing in the sound and giving me this opportunity, I’m forever grateful.” - Kai Rodriguez
  
Lead track ‘The Thrill’ harnesses the iconic vocal known across the globe but switches things up, contrasting the  vibrant tones with murky low-ends and metallic percussion for a no-nonsense cut main for main rooms, while  ‘Sum’ Bout’ takes a drum-driven path as skippy hats and warped snippets ebb and flow amongst the mix for more  peak time material.

Solid Grooves Raw invite Italian newcomer Boogie to the label for his debut release, 'Jet Black'. Launched in 2017, Solid Grooves Raw has grown to form a sound of its own and a reputation as a go-to imprint for some of the biggest records in rotation amongst the leading names in the game.

Housing music from established talent such as label co-founder PAWSA and key family member Dennis Cruz, the project also serves as a hotbed for showcasing and discovering the scene's most exciting new names, with the likes of SOSA, Beltran, Max Dean and Chklte all featuring on the label amongst a long-list of rising talent.

Next up to join that long list and make his debut is Torino-based newcomer Boogie as he serves up his debut single, 'Jet Black'. With a series of hooky vocals at its core, 'Jet Black' combines sharp percussion, slinking bass grooves and sweeping melodies amongst energy-charged snare rolls and builds for a crisp, heavy-hitting cut made for the floor.

Solid Grooves Records co-founder Michael Bibi drops a pair of infectious tracks that feature his own vocals this September.

Michael Bibi's perpetual rise over the last two years can be credited to his idiosyncratic style, as heard in his appearances on labels like VIVa MUSiC, Lost Records and Criminal Hype. Having just made his debut at fabric where Solid Grooves took over Room Two, both Bibi and his label continue to raise the bar; cementing their reputation as a driving force behind some of today's most exciting house music.

A twisted intro makes way for raw sounding percussion and rumbling bass in 'Smoke Signals' before Bibi's infectious vocals come into play. A catchy production from the off, 'Playzone' once again features Bibi's voice whilst a moody low-end, crunchy snares and various samples and effects operate throughout.
