Always bringing his high-impact sound to the forefront, Brazil’s Volkoder makes a solo return to Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations with his ‘Need Your Body’ EP on 9th May—a decade on from his remix of Nathan Barato’s ‘Every Time I See You’. Opening with the title track, Volkoder fuses funky rhythms and thudding kicks, while female vocals take control, locking the track into a full-bodied groove. Next, ‘Swee’ brings snaking percussion and a raw, sleazy energy, weaving hypnotic rhythms and shuffling drum work into a sweat-soaked workout. On ‘Des’, fizzing frequencies inject a euphoric edge built for the main stage, before snapping into a razor-sharp percussive drive in true Volkoder style. 

A master of groove, Volkoder’s catalogue boasts over thirty Beatport Top 10s, along with remixes for names such as Dennis Ferrer and Kerri Chandler. With a career spanning over 15 years, he continues to build his growing influence worldwide, performing at the likes of Ministry of Sound (London), Space (Miami), and major festivals like Tomorrowland. Now gearing up for his second release of 2025, the self-taught talent delivers another essential cut built for clubs, festivals, and everything in between.

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.

After lighting up Hot Creations earlier this year with ‘Move Your Feet’, Papa Marlin makes a swift return to the label, this time joined by Ibiza-based Alev Tav, who makes her debut on Jamie Jones’ imprint, with ‘Funk Like Dis ’- a three-track EP steeped in Garage textures and built for summer floors, arriving 20th June. 

The title track ‘Funk Like Dis’ opens with off-kilter synths that pulse and ripple, setting a trippy, groove-packed scene perfect for peak-time energy. ‘Find Underground’ maintains that momentum with a slick, swung rhythm and wobbling groove that keeps the momentum tight and the vibe relentless. The finale, ‘Bass Roll Out’, drops a thick, fuzzy bassline fused with cascading percussive elements, creating a rich, wobbling texture that feels both raw and polished. 

Known for his lush, groove-heavy sound and sharp percussion, Papa Marlin approaches music with a genuine love for the art—a dedication that has earned him backing from artists such as Claptone, Solardo, and Gorgon City, along with spins on BBC Radio 1. Now teaming up with Alev Tav, a fast-rising talent on the Ibiza circuit known for her sets at venues such as Amnesia, Destino, and Cova Santa for events including Space, Deeperfect, and IMS Ibiza, the pair present their debut collaboration, ‘Funk Like Dis’—a bold, bass-driven fusion of groove and energy.
