Fast rising star and favourite in the Hot Creations camp, Patrick Topping is back with another outstanding release after his highly successful debut EP was released on Hot Trax earlier this year, followed soon after by the even more successful ‘Any Amounts’ EP on Hot Creations. Knowing exactly how to work a crowd and making a name for himself with his extremely infectious basslines he delivers another release filled with dancefloor bombs. Melodic keys, trippy FX, intricate percussions and high energy build ups that turn into powerful drops make these three essential DJ weapons that are certain to dominate the dancefloor at peak time.

Through the old­fashioned demos route, Northerner Patrick Topping caught the attention of the Hot Creations camp as they recognised his undeniable talent. 

Impressing us all with his debut EP ‘Walk On’, Patrick made it to no.5 in the Beatport Deep House chart, with his tracks being championed by Pete Tong on his legendary BBC radio 1 show. His next EP ‘Any Amounts’ was one of the biggest releases of the year for Hot Creations with all tracks making it in the top 10 in the tech house charts and staying there for weeks.

At 24 years old, Patrick first built a DJ career around playing at his own popular club night in Newcastle (Motion), where he booked and played alongside some of the biggest names in the business. This year he made his Ibiza debut, at no less than DC10 for Paradise in July and continues to make his name heard on the international stage with plenty of gigs lined up.

Things look set to be big for Patrick next year with a track signed to the Defected Miami CD coming early next year and remixes on the way for Circus Recordings and Resonance Records.

Dutch powerhouse Job Nelis makes a striking return to EXTIMA with a double-tracker EP, No Time To Talk. Once again, he showcases his ability to craft peak-time weapons that balance groove, intensity, and just the right touch of vocal magic.

Opening with the title track No Time To Talk, Nelis delivers a super-groovy techno cut that immediately commands attention.

Argentina meets Italy in a high-voltage collaboration as Nicolo (AR) joins forces with Italian-Dutch duo ALOSOUL for a supersonic double-tracker on EXTIMA, titled Groove Theory [EP]. The result is a release that perfectly captures the energy of peak-time techno, built for packed dancefloors and dark warehouse spaces alike.

The headliner, "Groove Theory," is a powerful techno weapon that immediately hooks with mesmerizing female vocals layered over pulsating low-end vibrations. Its driving energy and hypnotic groove make it a perfect tool for DJs looking to raise the tension in their sets while keeping the crowd in full motion.

On the flip side, "Moves For The Beat" delivers an equally forceful impact. Thunderous low frequencies intertwine with vocal snippets that seem designed for dancefloor mayhem. This track doesn't hold back—it's relentless, storming, and unapologetically peak time, proving the chemistry between Nicolo and ALOSOUL runs deep.

Both artists bring their unique DNA to the table. Nicolo (AR), hailing from Mendoza, Argentina, has quickly carved out his place in the global techno scene with acidic rhythms, dark textures, and atmospheric depth. His music has found its way onto respected imprints like Set About, IAMT, and EXTIMA, with support from heavyweights such as Bart Skils, Sama Abdulhadi, The Yellowheads, and Space 92.

ALOSOUL, the Italian-Dutch duo, infuse their productions with the raw energy of live musicianship—born from their backgrounds as a drummer and guitarist. Their tracks have already gained momentum on labels like Autektone, Animarum, and Set About, landing them spots on Beatport's Top 100 Techno charts and recognition from names like Lilly Palmer, Maddix, and Layton Giordani.

With Groove Theory [EP], EXTIMA once again demonstrates its role as a hub for forward-thinking techno, giving space to rising talents who bring fresh dynamics to the sound of today's clubs. This release is nothing short of a weapon for DJs and a statement for fans of high-impact techno.

Hungarian rising star Kate Hex returns to EXTIMA with yet another uncompromising peak-time techno weapon, Roots. Known for her hypnotic blend of raw energy and modern drive, Kate has already cemented herself as one of the label's most promising talents with standout releases like Hypnopompia, Astral Body, and her striking remix of Luis M's Pressure.

With Roots, she elevates her sonic identity even further. The track is a super powerful, high-energy cut built to ignite festival mainstages and dark underground rooms alike. Driving percussion, thunderous low-end grooves, and a sharp, hypnotic lead create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and cutting-edge. It's a track that embodies her ability to merge hypnotic techno grit with the soaring intensity of peak-time momentum.

Kate's previous works from EXTIMA have already drawn the support of heavyweights such as Joris Voorn, Pan-Pot, Sama' Abdulhadi, and Oliver Huntemann, and Roots is poised to follow the same trajectory. With its relentless energy and carefully layered dynamics, it stands out as another signature release certain to resonate across the global techno circuit.

Roots doesn't just reaffirm Kate Hex's place in the scene — it solidifies her as a force ready to shape the sound of the future techno.

Our teammate Junior (TR) returns to EXTIMA with "I See Light," a peak-time techno single that once again underlines his reputation as one of the label's most reliable hitmakers.

From the first beat, the track locks listeners into a dancefloor-ready kick and bass groove that drives with precision and intensity. Bold synth stabs cut through the mix, adding tension and release in just the right places, while carefully layered vocal touches inject a human warmth that contrasts with the mechanical pulse of the rhythm.

"I See Light" embodies the duality at the heart of Junior's sound: raw underground power designed for maximum impact in the club, yet elevated by an emotional edge that lingers beyond the dancefloor. This balance of grit and atmosphere not only cements the single as another standout in Junior (TR)'s catalog but also as a continuation of EXTIMA's mission to deliver cutting-edge techno with both force and finesse.
