wAFF makes a triumphant return to Hot Creations after a seven-year hiatus with his three-track, groove-driven ‘Slapfunk EP’. 

Since his first outing back in 2012, wAFF has been an integral part of the Hot Creations family, remixing various releases and dropping a total of four EPs - the last being ‘Sick Pleasure’ in 2016, which still stands today as a highlight in the label’s extensive catalogue. Marking a long-awaited return to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ beloved imprint after seven years, with material via renowned labels such as Solid Grooves, Cocoon, Desolat and his very own NATURE imprint over that period further establishing him as a leading name, he arrives fresh from his third Paradise show of the season ready to ignite dancefloors with a trio of irresistible beats on ‘Slapfunk’. A project inspired following a night soundtracked by the Amsterdam collective, he notes “I originally made this EP after I’d been to Slapfunk in Amsterdam, and looked to create a track I thought would go down well there”. 

Title track ‘Slapfunk’ opens the release with shifting stabs, warping bass patterns and fizzing lead synths, steadily progressing into a menacing club-focused workout. Continuing his signature style, ‘Questions’ showcases a blend of pulsating beats synchronised with a warped vocal topline that enhances the allure. Finally, ‘Next Game’ delivers a punchy trip loaded with subtle minimal-leaning influences, combining chopped vocal snippets with slick, stripped-back percussion. 

wAFF ‘Slapfunk EP’ drops via Hot Creations on 8th September 2023.

Italy’s DIMMISH joins Jamie Jones’ Hottrax with a precision-grooved two-tracker ‘We Got The Groove’ dropping on 21st March. Following DIMMISH’s recent ‘Automatic Love EP’ on Yaya’s Tamango Records, the in-demand producer continues his momentum with his blend of Deep Tech sonics and underground Minimal influences—an approach that has seen him release on labels like Solid Grooves, No Art, and LOCUS. 

Grooving between disco-laced euphorics and deep-tech minimalism, ‘We Got The Groove’ drives forward with shuffling percussion, funky low-ends, and stretched-out wobbling synths. On the flip, ‘Bass Flip’ locks in with a thundering bassline, piercing whistles, and a heavyweight kick, shaping a peak-time weapon packed with attitude. 

Consistently landing in Beatport’s Top 100 and earning support from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong and Danny Howard, DIMMISH’s passion for analog synths and modular systems has driven his success, with his 2024 schedule seeing him grace major stages like PIV and Eastenderz at Cova Santa and Deeperfect at Eden. With Jamie Jones championing his music in recent years, his arrival on Hottrax feels like a natural step forward—marking another milestone as he continues his ascent.
