Machine is a club night championing new & upcoming techno, founded in 2011 by UK techno heavyweights Ben Sims & Kirk Degiorgio.
 
Since it’s inception the guys have hosted 6 parties in London as well as editions at El Row Barcelona, Fabrik Madrid, Trouw Amsterdam, Berghain Berlin and more; Machine has set a precedent for booking only high quality and forward thinking guests - such as Robert Hood, Surgeon, Kevin Saunderson, Rolando, Adam X, Untold, A Made Up Sound, Luke Slater, Oscar Mulero, James Ruskin and many more, encouraging all to break away from their comfort zones to follow the Machine theme of new and unreleased music, with stunning results. 
  
This September, Machine presents a very special lineup – 2 rooms, 4 DJs, each playing an long sets over Corsica Studio’s famous Funktion-1 rigs.
 
Joining Ben & Kirk are 2 of their current fave party rockers… RØDHÅD has made a name for himself as one of Berlin’s most forward thinking DJs. His reputation is of playing seamless sets of Techno & House - while keeping the mood deep and powerful. His recent Boiler Room set is regarded as one of the best shows in the series yet. Also worth checking is this mnmlssg article on him: http://mnmlssg.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/ssg-special-rdhad.html 
 
ROD is an alias of Rotterdam based House stalwart Benny Rodrigues, famed for his peak time sets that see him drop everything from jacking Chicago House to Detroit machine funking Techno plus hosting a series of ROD NACHT events where he plays all night long. As an recording artist he has contributed to Ben Klock's Klockwork label, Chris Liebings CLR, Adam Beyers Drumcode and Slams Soma, so it's fair to say he's certainly a DJs favourite with his studio work too. 
 
Machine resident & curator Ben Sims plays a very special extended DJ set after the UK debut of his live set at the July party. Known for his intensity and dextrous skill on the decks, he has built a deserved reputation as one of the UK’s most in-demand and respected techno producer and DJs. 
 
Fellow Machine resident and co-founder Kirk Degiorgio completes the lineup. With decades of experience in the UK scene, Kirk is commonly acknowledged as the first high-profile DJ to move completely to using Ableton and in September he'll be digitally dropping a 4 hour set of new Techno, featuring a wealth of upcoming material from his ART label and of course forthcoming gems from the man himself.

	Hey kids! Don't do acid. But if you do, do it with Douster. We've got a double dose of future retro house from one of our favourite producers. 'Violento' features the iconic 'El Señor Teki Latex', who sounds fresh in any language. Muy peligroso!! The flip side 'All Crew' flips the mood, an anthemic, live-tracked acid throwback guaranteed to move all bodies, all crew. Let's get wavey. 
	
	Douster is the epitome of the globalized beatmaker. Born and raised in Lyon, France his productions have been influenced by a wide range of bass music, house, and classic rave hits, with hints of kuduro, kwaito, dancehall, cumbia and other global dance music styles. Douster has previously released on top labels such as Mad Decent & Sound Pellegrino, and has been widely acclaimed for remixes of Crookers, Rusko, Yolanda be Cool and Kid Sister. At Main Course, we all started as fans of his work, so it's an absolute honour for us to deliver Douster to your ears!

Birmingham’s Fleur Shore joins Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations imprint for the very first time with ‘Bret (Heads Down)’, a dynamic two-track EP that further cements her reputation as one of electronic music’s standout rising voices. Tipped early as one of the scene’s brightest talents, and having established herself as a BBC Radio 1 favourite thanks to a standout Essential Mix and her own BBC R1 Residency, Fleur’s arrival on Hot Creations feels like a natural next step, building on her acclaimed 2024 debut on sister label Paradise and regular appearances at the brand’s globally-renowned events. 

A nod to the iconic Amsterdam venue BRET, the title track ‘Bret (Heads Down)’ is a heads-down, groove-forward roller engineered for big moments. Crisp drums and subtle bass movements carry the track through a trippy, late-hours atmosphere, focusing on stripped-back tension and dancefloor hypnosis. On the B-side, ‘You Don’t Understand’ keeps the energy simmering with an all-action blend of vibrant vocal samples, heavy-hitting percussion and woozy old-school organ stabs, balancing attitude with atmosphere in Fleur’s unmistakable UK-influenced style. 

The release lands as Fleur continues her ascent through the global house circuit, following high-profile releases on labels like Cecille, Edible, and her own Undergrowth imprint, plus a non-stop touring that’s seen her recently land at Kappa Futur to Jones’ own Paradise In The City in London. With ‘Bret (Heads Down)’, Fleur Shore adds her own chapter to the Hot Creations story, bringing her distinctively deep and slinky sound to one of dance music’s most influential labels. 

Fleur Shore ‘Bret (Heads Down)’ drops via Hot Creations on 15th August 2025.

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.

Always surprising us with their A&R skills, Hot Creations are back with another outstanding release, this time from rising star Greg Pidock, who is soon to release his debut album on the label. ‘Blame Game’ is fresh and beautifully crafted with deep vocals and warm melodies, building effortlessly into sonic bliss. On remix duty, Minus favourite Hobo picks up the pace to deliver two on point reworks aimed steadily at the dance floor.

A formally trained artist, Greg received his BFA in Intermedia & Cyberarts when he was 20.  Introduced to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss in 2012, Pidcock was quickly signed to the label and has spent the last year working on his debut album. Studying in Montreal he soon became the Creative Director at Montreal’s legendary Cherry nightclub, DJing alongside legends. This led to the formation of Bad Pony Records with Tone Depth of Bedrock fame - a process, which firmly cemented his goals of creating music and art. Currently the resident DJ at the renowned Velvet Nightclub in Montreal and working with Turkish composer, Mercan Dede, as a sound engineer, Greg Pidcock is about to explode onto the international scene with his blend of passionate, sexy, heavy house.

Member of the Minus family since 2007, Joel Boychuk aka Hobo very much holds his own identity. With an early Detroit influence he has explored his own form of techno expressionism: sometimes dark and abstract, others more sample heavy and groove based. With a lot of time spent on his recently released album ‘Iron Triangle’, Hobo now plans to focus on DJing after being an almost exclusively live performer for 6 years. Both original and remix have been featured heavily in Jamie’s recent sets..
