UK newcomer FIFI FORTE has been steadily building buzz with her bass-heavy, percussion-led sound, bridging classic house influences with forward-facing club energy. Raised on Chicago and Funky House, she was introduced early on to icons like Kerri Chandler and Frankie Knuckles—a formative influence that sparked her deep-rooted love for the genre. Announced for Jamie Jones’ Paradise In The City this summer, FIFI now makes her label debut on Hottrax with ‘Carnelian EP’, landing 4th July and delivering three tightly crafted, funk-fueled cuts that signal a bold new chapter for the rising talent.

“This EP reflects a few different sides of my musical influences. 'Carnelian’ is a deep, groove-led roller, while ‘Inner Funk’ and ‘Fly Away’ lean into a funkier sound. Buzzing to have this one land on Hottrax - it’s been a bucket list label for me and feels like the perfect home for it” - FIFI FORTE

‘Carnelian’ opens the EP with simmering drums and minimalist funk textures, as a bubbling bassline flows beneath quick, rhythmic beats and grooves made for the club. Next, ‘Inner Funk’ oozes attitude, blending glitch-laced rhythms and staggered bleeps that amp up the energy through precise, cutting-edge sound design. Closing the package is ‘Fly Away’, where hefty snare hits, deep low-end movement, and finely sculpted percussion elements propel the track forward.

FIFI FORTE ‘Carnelian’ EP drops via Hottrax on 4th July 2025.

Right in the centre of the summer, Tamango Records returns with a brand new EP to cool down your mind, body, and soul. A name ascending from the UKs booming house scene, Ninetree (Deeperfect) makes his label debut with Rain On Me EP. The title track moves along with its iconic vocal that sets the pace for a catchy, grooving bass, techy drums, and overall wavy energy. Up next, Baby Girl steps in by layering vocals chops and a sharp, driving touch directed towards more after situations, while Straight Through closes things off with a dub, percussive number, as Ninetrees provides another punchy track in his trademark style.

A familiar face across both Hottrax and Hot Creations, Italian DJ/producer Paul C steps back into the fold this summer with a sharp two-track release that taps into his roots while staying focused on the energy of modern dancefloors. Marking his third appearance on Hottrax and second solo EP for the label, ‘I’m Ready You Ready’ brings together rolling rhythms and classic influences with a modern, high-impact edge.

“I’m proud to return with a new release on Hottrax, part of the Jamie Jones universe I've had the pleasure of being involved with over the years. This EP features two tracks with a similar style but different vibes. The first track, ‘I’m Ready You Ready’, is a tribute to the '90s house sound that made me fall in love with clubbing, but with a more energetic and modern groove. The second, ‘In The Back’, also draws from that old school vibe, but explores a more club-oriented side of it. I'm really happy with the energy these two tracks carry, and I hope they’ll transmit the same feeling to you as they did to me in the studio.” - Paul C.

Known for his groove-heavy sound, Paul C’s studio work has appeared on a host of influential imprints, extending beyond his releases via Jones’ labels to imprints such as Elrow, Moon Harbour, and Knee Deep In Sound. With his tracks regularly in rotation for names like Marco Carola, Carl Cox, and Luciano, this latest EP sees him keep things moving in style as he delivers two distinct takes on the sounds that shaped his early journey, now reimagined for today’s clubs.

Pail C ‘I’m Ready You Ready’ drops via Hottrax on 8th August 2025.
