As Hot Creations celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2025, label co-founder Lee Foss makes a long-awaited return to the imprint for the first time in half a decade with a powerful new collaboration alongside Colorado-based talent GS5. Titled ‘In The Ghetto’, the two-track release sees one of the label’s originators link up with a standout new-school voice for a release that bridges eras, aesthetics, and dancefloors. 

“It’s always exciting to come back to the label that started it all for me,” says Foss. “Jamie and I put so much into Hot Creations in those early days, and it set up my career for so much success. ‘In The Ghetto’ feels like the perfect release to return with. It has some of the deep, soulful, and abstract elements that marked my early work on the label, merged with the modern, skippy, minimal and techy trademarks of today. GS5 is an exciting new artist from Denver who reached out with some cool demos and was interested in collaborating, and I knew as soon as we got to work that these would be perfect for HC.” 

Lead track ‘In The Ghetto’ hits with low-slung swagger and vibrant vocal energy, channelling a bass-heavy strut and hypnotic vocal loops that nod to early Hot Creations flavours while pushing into contemporary terrain. On the flip, ‘Hardest’ brings a tougher-edged groove and hazy late-night vibe, peppered with sharp percussion and warped vocal work to bring after-hours pressure. 

GS5 adds: “With Hot Natured being some of my earliest introductions to electronic music, this release means the world to me. Being given the opportunity to work with one of my biggest inspirations and to land this on his label with Jamie Jones is a dream come true.” 
A pioneering force in the evolution of modern house music, Lee Foss has left an indelible mark on global dance culture through his work as a producer, DJ, and label head. From shaping a new era with Hot Natured to launching his chart-topping Repopulate Mars imprint, Foss continues to set the tone across the scene, and his return arrives just days before he joins the Paradise family once again at UNVRS in Ibiza on 17th September. GS5, meanwhile, has been quickly rising through the ranks, making noise with releases on Hood Politics and Material Series and making appearances for Experts Only and range. With heavy support from both Hot Creations co-founders, he’s building a reputation as a name to know when it comes to talents causing a stir stateside.

For fifteen years, Hot Creations has been the beating heart of house and electronic music culture; a label that has defined a sound, shaped a community, and launched careers that now dominate dancefloors across the globe. From its inception, co-founders Jamie Jones and Lee Foss envisioned more than a record label. They created a platform where the pulse of underground music could thrive, where innovation and groove collide, and where both emerging talents and established icons could find a home. And at the center of it all, guiding the label’s sound, nurturing its community, and continuing its evolution, Jamie’s magnetic presence has seen him flourish as a DJ and producer at the top of his game. 

His latest single, ‘Murder Mystery’, is Jamie in full command of that legacy. His first solo release on Hot Creations since 2022’s ‘Bionic Boy’ EP, it’s a track designed to move, mesmerize, and captivate with every listen. Rolling basslines, intricate percussion, and a subtle tension pulse beneath the playful surface, making it a record built for late nights, festival main stages, and intimate spaces alike. It’s a statement of intent, and a reminder of why Jamie’s groove-driven productions continue to set the standard for house music worldwide. 

Adding to weekly Hot Creations takeovers in the UNVRS Bunker throughout the Ibiza season, the release is framed by an extraordinary run of events across the 15th Anniversary year, with Paradise shows in parallel, such as the Ibiza Closing Party, Warehouse Project, and ADE, as well as headline US dates in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. 

With ‘Murder Mystery’, Jamie Jones delivers more than a track. It is the culmination of a moment: the merging of both joint and collective visions, the continuation of a hot streak following his recent collaboration with Nicole Moudaber on the label, and a celebration of fifteen years of Hot Creations shaping the sound and spirit of house music globally. This is Hot Creations at its most alive, at its most vibrant, and Jamie at his creative best.
