@hilitkolet debuts on Rekids with ‘Hot Mess’, including remixes from the legendary Mike Dunn.

Following her remix of Terry Farley & Wade Teo’s ‘Why We Dance’, Hilit steps up to the Rekids plate with her debut EP for Radio Slave’s label with her single ‘Hot Mess’. A relentlessly driving drum machine werqout, ‘Hot Mess’ sees her masterfully mixing compulsive, marching rhythms with a fiercely impassioned spoken word vocal.

With added raw jackin’ energy in the ‘Even Hotter Mix’, this has the kind of late night runway energy that demands the Sound Factory be rebuilt. On the B-side, Chicago house legend Mike Dunn’s remix of ‘Hot Mess’ is a deep groove that adds a wriggling earworm bassline, while still embracing the enchanting vocal of the original.

Hilit Kolet has been an integral part of London’s house scene ever since she started slinging vinyl at Soho’s legendary Black Market Records. Her distinctive, energetic DJ style then established her behind the decks everywhere, from high fashion shows to some of the most celebrated underground clubs in London. 2023 saw Hilit going global with shows from Ibiza to Shanghai via Printworks, Warehouse Project and Ministry of Sound.

Her summer single on the Faith imprint ‘POV Siren’ has been embraced by DJs as diverse as Robert Hood and Paul Woolford, and her edit of Laurent Garnier’s ‘Crispy Bacon’ was rinsed by many from Carl Cox to Patrick Topping, before seeing an official release by Garnier himself. ‘Hot Mess’ sets Hilit Kolet up as a serious name to watch out for in 2024.

Industry folk have deemed Hilit Kolet "the next real thing." The ascending London-based artist weaves chunky UK-tinged basslines between Chicago-influenced beats topped off with a New York sleaze-edged vibe across her productions. As a DJ, she wields multiple sound palettes from house to techno throughout her high-octane sets, mixed with razor-sharp technique. 

A classically trained musician and long-time face of Soho's legendary Black Market Records, Hilit Kolet debuted on Defected with her jackin' tune 'Techno Disco', landing at #1 on Traxsource's House chart, #1 on Music Week's Upfront Club Chart and #3 on Shazam's Discovery chart.

Support for Hilit's 100% original house cut came in strong, with Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Sarah Story rinsing 'Techno Disco' on BBC Radio 1. Since then, her production work - including her latest original single ‘POV Siren’ (Faith) and her edit of Laurent Garnier’s 90s gem 'Crispy Bacon’, which is featured on the limited edition boxset of his new album, has garnered massive support. Carl Cox, Radio Slave, Tsha, Paul Woolford, Dennis Ferrer, Patrick Topping, Eliza Rose, Nicole Moudaber, Claude Von Stroke, Hector Romero, Yousef, Mele, Heléna Star, Syreeta, La La, Emerald, HoneyLuv, Demuir, Gideön, DJ Deep, Jovonn & Tiefschwarz have all been getting behind her music, affirming Hilit Kolet as THE talent to watch.

A 360 degrees artist who defies easy classification, Hilit radiates powerful energy from the DJ booth, seducing the dancefloors of esteemed clubs Printworks, fabric, KOKO (closing after Floorplan), Warehouse Project, Ministry of Sound, Egg London and XOYO, amongst others. Snapped up by the international festival circuit, major-league gigs that Hilit has played include Lovebox, Secret Garden Party, Campo Sancho and Festival No 6. Highlights from 2022 include shows for Elrow in Croatia, Jaeger in Oslo, Ibiza, Dubai, Warsaw, and Bulgaria.

Innovative and fearless as a selector, Hilit brings her audience on an exciting ride through dance music, evoking chaos no matter the club in question. Sultry vocals, pulsating basslines and irresistible peak-time grooves spanning house, acid, techno and modern electronica feature in her sets. A forward-thinking and inimitable DJ, she shares a blend of nu-skool textures and classic moods, constantly pushing boundaries while educating her audience along the way. 

Carving out the solid yet sonically diverse path she's on today, Hilit’s roots are deeply embedded in classical music. Growing up in a musical home with a piano teacher Mum and a jazzholic Dad, Hilit had rhythm for breakfast and melodies for lunch — and played the piano before she could tie her shoelaces.

Kickstarting her journey in London, she became a key staff member of iconic vinyl retailer Black Market Records, spending every moment possible soaking up the city’s unique club culture and expanding her already encyclopedic knowledge of the scene. DJing non-stop around the capital, she built her name locally while managing a high-end recording studio where she learnt the art of music production.

With multi-dynamic studio projects and releases in the pipeline, Hilit Kolet is a rising star who, like her sound, continues to captivate. Now, she's gearing up for the next phase of an illustrious, diverse and inspiring career.
