Beneath The Leaves w/ ROOTS Presents CANDIDATE - 20.08.23

|| OUT NOW ||

Buy/Stream: orcd.co/HXT114

Jamie Jones's tastemaking label is back with a second volume of its talent-packed Hottrax presents Tripleution series, this time with Candidate, Lee Jeffrey and Hatiras & Javi Bora all featuring. 

Hottrax has always been an underground-oriented label dedicated to showcasing the darker side of the dance floor. This series does just that with Jones's careful A&R shining a light on the best talent currently out there. 

Candidate opens up with the excellent 'Sore Feet Society', a turbo-charged cut that takes you to the heart of the dance floor. It's a raved-up sound with rapped vocals that bring the attitude next to big synth stabs and sci-fi FX. Next is the UK's talented Lee Jeffrey who has released on respected labels such as Madtech Records and Elrow. 'Doin' It 4 Saz' has real swagger - garage-inflected drums that swing back and forth beneath chopped-up vocals and bright synths that are perfect for pumping any party. 

Last of all, Toronto scene pioneer Hatiras and Too Many Rules label head Javi Bora are frequent collaborators who cook up the goods again here. Their 'Raw & Dirty' is just that - a hefty house banger with gritty synth textures and weighty drums. Dark vocals bring a late-night edge to this most physical and high-impact of sounds. 

All three of these tracks explore different house vibes with equally fresh results.

The Liverpool-born talent has been making his stamp on the scene with his 90s infused, minimal house productions.

Candidate has been making waves with his debut releases on Jamie Jones' Hottrax and Max Dean's Nexup labels, showcasing his groovy analog baselines, old-school inspired chords & synths, and catchy hip-hop vocal samples. The Liverpool-born talent has spent the last few months playing for Max Dean's Nexup Tour, as well as supporting artists like Marco Carola, Sidney Charles, Prunk and SOSA at sellout events. With support from heavyweights such as Chris Stussy & East End Dubs, and a string of EPs lined up for 2024, Candidate is definitely one to watch.
