Breakout UK artist Toby Simpson returns to Jamie Jones’ Hottrax this July.
Previously appearing on Hottrax, The Martinez Brothers’ Cuttin Headz, and many more, Toby Simpson’s music has seen support from the likes of Marco Carola, Lee Foss, and of course, Jamie Jones. Returning now to Jones’ label with ‘That’s The Way’, the UK-based DJ/producer brings another two tracks built with energetic drum grooves, wobbling basslines and trippy percussive elements. 

He kicks off with 'That's The Way', a tight and steamy house cut with bristling drum funk, turbocharged stabs, and addictive vocals for an intense yet stylish heater. The brilliant 'Retro Bass' is a fiery cut with explosive energy, hard-hitting drums meet tough synth stabs and wild vocal loops all add to the colour and character. 

Toby Simpson’s ‘That’s The Way’ drops via Hottrax on 21st July 2023. 

Tracklist:

Funk Cartel bring their rave-ready sounds to Hottrax with the three-track ‘Discotexx EP’. 

Brothers Blame Rory and Kimono Cam have quickly risen through the ranks with releases on the likes of Etiquette and Deeperfect, as well as running their own THUNDR imprint. The taste-making duo now step up for Jamie Jones's always-on-point Hottrax with three robust and richly detailed cuts. 

'Discotexx' kicks off with freaky vocals, sci-fi sonic details and plenty of effects that make the track irresistible. The superb 'Higher' is another slice of dance floor dynamite, with a fluid bassline combined with addictive grooves for a spaced-out, futuristic track. Last but not least is 'Feel It,' another full flavour cut with punchy drum programming, trippy vocal fragments, and whirring sounds taking it into cosmic realms. 
“It goes without saying how influential a label Hottrax has been these past few years and we are proud to be adding our flavour to the catalog. We hope the EP represents a fresh sound, we made all three tracks with the intention of bringing driving energy to the dance floor.” - Funk Cartel. 

Funk Cartel’s ‘Discotexx EP’ drops via Hottrax on 4th August 2023. 

Tracklist: 
01 Discotexx

Foolish since ever, music pair since four years, charming duo ADEZ (formerly Alex Dam & Zambiancki) make their very first release under this new alias for a big fat Reecords debut. With releases on labels like Tamango Records and Deeperfect, these two Italian stallions bring all their infectious groove to the pool for 'Be True To Me' EP, a perfect example of their trademark sound made of funky basslines, delicious congas, lively and rumbling grooves, and some overall hands in the air vibes. Their collab with Rotterdam-based duo Anderdox is the ice on the cake of an already sweet product.

wAFF makes a triumphant return to Hot Creations after a seven-year hiatus with his three-track, groove-driven ‘Slapfunk EP’. 

Since his first outing back in 2012, wAFF has been an integral part of the Hot Creations family, remixing various releases and dropping a total of four EPs - the last being ‘Sick Pleasure’ in 2016, which still stands today as a highlight in the label’s extensive catalogue. Marking a long-awaited return to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ beloved imprint after seven years, with material via renowned labels such as Solid Grooves, Cocoon, Desolat and his very own NATURE imprint over that period further establishing him as a leading name, he arrives fresh from his third Paradise show of the season ready to ignite dancefloors with a trio of irresistible beats on ‘Slapfunk’. A project inspired following a night soundtracked by the Amsterdam collective, he notes “I originally made this EP after I’d been to Slapfunk in Amsterdam, and looked to create a track I thought would go down well there”. 

Title track ‘Slapfunk’ opens the release with shifting stabs, warping bass patterns and fizzing lead synths, steadily progressing into a menacing club-focused workout. Continuing his signature style, ‘Questions’ showcases a blend of pulsating beats synchronised with a warped vocal topline that enhances the allure. Finally, ‘Next Game’ delivers a punchy trip loaded with subtle minimal-leaning influences, combining chopped vocal snippets with slick, stripped-back percussion. 

wAFF ‘Slapfunk EP’ drops via Hot Creations on 8th September 2023. 

Tracklist: 
A1. Slapfunk 
B1. Questions 
B2. Next Game
