Paris-based talent Manda Moor arrives on Hot Creations for the first time this May with the three-track The Climax EP, continuing a standout 2022 for the Danish-Filipino artist.

"This release is the fruit of inspirations from the pure energy of Burning Man, a tribal reconnection to our primitive selves, spices from the 90s era, warm and trippy rhythms. It's all about love, unity, releasing good vibrations and embracing our weirdness.” - Manda Moor. 

Rustling with tribal undertones and a rolling four-four groove, The Climax instantly transports us to the dancefloor and beyond. Jungle-like melodies live beside infectious lyrical samples before the minimal-sounds of Sandy Groove soon arrive, as fast-paced drums drift beneath a pummelling bassline throughout. Besame rounds things off, ratcheting up the tempo with bell-like percussion and driving kick-hat combos, forming an upbeat, club-ready cut. 

Manda Moor has fast-become an esteemed force in contemporary house circles. Racking up acclaimed releases on labels such as Kaluki, Tamango and DJ Pierre’s Afro Acid, her MOOD EDITS series - in conjunction with Sirus Hood - has garnered support from true industry heavyweights, including Pete Tong, The Martinez Brothers and Loco Dice to name a few. Each edition of MOOD EDITS has reached the number one spot on Bandcamp’s House / Deep House / Minimal chart, proof of Manda’s keen ear for production, whilst her club and festival sets include performances at Amnesia, The BPM Festival, Elrow and many more besides.

Up-and-coming tech house talent Andruss collaborates with Umberto Pagliaroli and El Apache Ness on Mueve.
On the flip, Andruss joins forces with Fatboi, celebrating their South-American roots on Jamie Jones&#39; long-
running and internationally renowned label. Huge drums and fresh percussive sounds dominate the release.
Andruss explains the root of the EP. &quot;&#39;Mueve&#39; was born from the great support we have received from our latest tracks. It
is something that we have not or have never dared to do. The fusion of Latin vocals of the singer El Apache Ness fits
perfectly with the idea I had with Umberto Pagliaroli. Both the voices and the classic percussive finishes of salsa music
give a twist to this new production that we have great faith in reaching the top stores.&quot; The title track kicks off with chunky
drums and organic textures, with El Apache Ness&#39;s vocals upping the energy—an instant club classic. On Agáchalo,
Andruss teams up with rapper and singer Fatboi. Andruss explains the process in his own words. &quot;This track is very
special for Fatboi and me since we created it in less than 24 hours. I sent Fatboi a quick message, and he didn&#39;t hesitate
to record an improvisation of the track for me since we didn&#39;t have much time to deliver it.&quot; The result is a muscular tech
house tune with tribal drums in perfect harmony with Fatboi&#39;s husky vocals. A poignant moment for Andruss, who sums
up the track and the whole EP itself: &quot;From the feeling of releasing something in Spanish on a top British label, it makes
us feel very proud of our roots.&quot;
Born in Mérida, Mexico, Andruss is a rising star on the international house and tech house circuits. He&#39;s released on La
Pera Records, Bunny Tiger, South Of Saturn and many more celebrated labels, building a legion of fans worldwide. As a
DJ, he&#39;s shared the bill with Alok, Vintage Culture, Bekermat, Duke Dumont and several other established names. Italian-
born producer and DJ Umberto Pagliaroli has produced club-cut tech house on labels like Riviera Underground Music,
RIM, Toolroom and more, sharing his dynamic and upbeat sound with the masses. Born in Quilmes, Argentina, El
Apache Ness is a well-known vocalist, celebrated for his songs Joda En Mendoza and Somos Asi. His collaboration with
Andruss and Umberto Pagliaroli on Hot Creations marks a first for the artist.

King James Lee is the musical driving force behind one of London's biggest LGBTQIA+ parties, Roast @ Electrowerkz. James delivers high-octane, tech-edged entertainment every fortnight to a packed house of bears, cubs, chubs, chasers, muscles and admirers. His first single with us (w/ Brandy X) was the brilliant "Break The Disco", a pumping yet personal protest song about acceptance in clubland. On "Body Bumpin", he and vocalist Leyla Diamondi take us to Roast's main room for a no-holes-barred DJ-friendly thump-fest. Hardfloor-esque acid and Andruss-style beats underpin a system-shaking bassline, while Leyla delivers a cool-as-you-like topline. "DJ, come give me something," she deadpans before the main drop, and King James Lee delivers with aplomb. It's a killer.
