Brazilian talent Classmatic is next up on Hot Creations with the two-track Toma Dale EP. Having already set dancefloors alight at the hands of label heads Jamie Jones and Lee Foss, the eagerly anticipated release drops this April. 

Classmatic explained how the release came together: “Everything started when I decided I needed a track to put in my sets with congas in. I live in Brazil and wanted something to represent the Latin sound as I didn’t have any tracks that incorporated this, so that's when Toma Dale ft Nfasis was born. Bape was literally inspired by some of the tracks Jamie Jones has been playing in his sets in recent years. I wanted to create a killer groove with acid influences and also produce a slightly different breakdown to what would be expected.” 

Toma Dale ft Nfasis achieves exactly what Classmatic set out to do. The track opens proceedings with enticing congas that instantly transport you to Latin America. Punchy drum pads pounce in and combine with the percussion to create a highly energetic base, as finely cut Spanish vocals are embedded to fuse everything together. Bape pays homage to the Hot Creations sound. Warm, soft, bouncy kick drums lead the track, joined by subtle acid sounds that tantalise the ears. The breakdown is perfectly placed with the addition of mesmerising vocals that fade in and out before the punchy, bass-heavy drums are hauled back in. 

Classmatic has built up a lot of traction over recent years, catching the eyes and ears of major heavyweights in the field, releasing under such labels as Solid Grooves and Hottrax and in 2021 he remixed Cloonees’ major hit, When The Sun Goes Down. Receiving support from artists such as Seth Troxler, Michael Bibi, Pete Tong and Loco Dice to name a few, it comes as no surprise when we say there is a bright future ahead for the talented artist.

Hot Creations welcomes Uzbekistan talent Trace to the mix for his deep grooving ‘Fake Friends’. 

Fresh from releases on Nervous Records, North Of Neptune, and Criterio Records, Trace continues to make a mark as a promising up-and-coming artist in the electronic music sphere. His breakthrough came last year with ‘Taka Doom’, released on Cloonee’s Hellbent Records, earning him a spot in the Beatport Top 10 and garnering huge support from luminaries such as Solomun, Fisher, Marco Carola, and more. Now, the Uzbekistani DJ/producer lands his debut on Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations with ‘Fake Friends’, adding another impressive label to his growing catalogue.

“Last year, I released ‘Taka Doom’ and managed to combine the groove with the vocal sample nicely. With this record, I decided to do the same but with a totally fresh and different vibe. I think that the result is pretty good!” - Trace. 

Launching with crisp percussion, 'Fake Friends’ unleashes a cascade of bumping bass licks amid tumbling sonics. The track's rhythmic precision and contagious groove seamlessly meld beneath the deep, infectious male vocals, embodying the dancefloors vibrant pulse.
