ALISHA makes an impressive debut outing on Hot Creations with ‘Changes’, backed by a remix from  Chicago house legend Mike Dunn.  

A bubbling name within the UK house landscape for several years, it’s fair to say that 2022 was the year  that ALISHA truly emerged as a surging name of note, dropping stand-out material via Eastenderz and making  appearances at Warehouse Project, Shelter, INPUT and Amnesia for Jamie Jones’ iconic Paradise events. Taking  things up a level as she gets set for an even bigger twelve months, her first release of 2023 comes on Jones and  Lee Foss’ globally renowned Hot Creations with her latest single ‘Changes’ - accompanied by a classy remix from  ever-excellent house music icon Mike Dunn. 

“Hot Creations has always been a dream label for me to release on. ‘Changes’ was written with the  inspiration of the Paradise parties, especially visualising hearing the lead vocal on the famous terrace and  beyond” - ALISHA.  

A warping and driving production armed with tough kicks, rumbling low-ends and squelchy synths, all guided by  the track’s hooky and infectious vocal sample from South Street Player’s iconic 1993 record ‘(Who?) Keeps  Changing Your Mind’, ‘Changes’ is a rugged yet vibrant production geared to keep dancers moving as much as  ALISHA’s own high energy presence in the booth. Switching up the aesthetic and diving deep into a swirling,  soulful journey, Mike Dunn’s remix harnesses the vocal to pair with rich chords for a delightful slice of house music. 

ALISHA ‘Changes’ drops via Hot Creations on 28th April 2023.

A multi-talented figure in the global house landscape, Amsterdam’s M-High has emerged from his ‘one to watch’ tips from a long list of key players in the industry. His growing sound has seen the Dutchman take in a wider range of influences from minimal through to electro, leading to releases on LOCUS, You&Me, and Djebali, amongst others. Following his heavily requested anthem ‘Devil’, the young talent stands out again as he makes his Hot Creations debut with a trip through futuristic basslines and silky, smooth house rhythms across his four-tracker, ‘Search 4 Pleasure’.

“A release on Hot Creations—what a moment for me! Huge shoutout to Jamie Jones for believing in my music and picking the tracks for this EP. I recall discovering countless tracks with the iconic palm tree artwork when I first started with music. It’s thrilling to see my own name alongside that same palm tree almost a decade later—a
surreal realization. This EP features four tracks that have been highlights in my DJ sets this past year, and I’m excited about the early support they’ve received. I can’t wait for you to experience the energy poured into this project. See you on the dance floor at one of the Paradise parties soon!” - M-High.

Up first, ‘Taste It’ merges acidic tones and sci-fi grooves that playfully dance over flickering stabs and lush, soulful vocals. Next, 'This ‘N That’ delivers thudding kicks and swirling sirens that lock you into its relentless breakbeat groove, while ‘Hello You’ harnesses an infectious bassline with assertive percussion and electro-tinged melodies. To close, ‘Search 4 Pleasure’ continues to bring the energy as sparking synths and robotic vocals go to work to shape up the EP in style.

M-High ‘Search 4 Pleasure’ drops via Hot Creations on 13th September 2024.

Released at the end of last year on Hot Creations, UK house talent Joshwa's track ‘Bass Go Boom’ featured as one of the most sought-after IDs of 2023, garnering major support from industry heavyweights like John Summit, Gorgon City, Claptone, plus BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard. Following this success, up-and-coming Manchester-based DJ/producer Collier makes his label debut on Jamie Jones’ renowned imprint. Taking the reins fresh off his pumping 'Freak' EP on Hottrax, he delivers his own grooving twist on 'Bass Go Boom', bringing new life to the standout release. 

Keeping the original’s unstoppable energy alive, Collier comes in hot and heavy with booming low-ends and snaking bass grooves, infusing 'Bass Go Boom' with a quirky funk and a deep, dubby bounce, making it a standout addition to his growing catalogue. 
Collier’s ‘Bass Go Boom’ remix drops via Hot Creations on 4th October 2024.

Two of the UK's favourite house talents, East End Dubs and Wheats have been pushing their distinctive takes on the genre to new heights of late following another non-stop summer, which included notable returns to SG's Casino Motel at DC10 for both. With the former now making his label debut on Solid Grooves Records following countless appearances for the collective to date, and the latter returning to the label for the first time since his 2021 hit 'O La', here the pair collaborate for the very first time and showcase exactly why they're both in such high demand with the release of 'Searching'.

Harnessing an infectious, warped female vocal that bounces above skippy percussion, hooky stabs, off-kilter samples and a simmering bassline that propels the track forward, 'Searching' brings the best of both artists and serves up a hotly-awaited record that's been a staple for both all summer long.
