A multi-talented figure in the global house landscape, Amsterdam’s M-High has emerged from his ‘one to watch’ tips from a long list of key players in the industry. His growing sound has seen the Dutchman take in a wider range of influences from minimal through to electro, leading to releases on LOCUS, You&Me, and Djebali, amongst others. Following his heavily requested anthem ‘Devil’, the young talent stands out again as he makes his Hot Creations debut with a trip through futuristic basslines and silky, smooth house rhythms across his four-tracker, ‘Search 4 Pleasure’.

“A release on Hot Creations—what a moment for me! Huge shoutout to Jamie Jones for believing in my music and picking the tracks for this EP. I recall discovering countless tracks with the iconic palm tree artwork when I first started with music. It’s thrilling to see my own name alongside that same palm tree almost a decade later—a
surreal realization. This EP features four tracks that have been highlights in my DJ sets this past year, and I’m excited about the early support they’ve received. I can’t wait for you to experience the energy poured into this project. See you on the dance floor at one of the Paradise parties soon!” - M-High.

Up first, ‘Taste It’ merges acidic tones and sci-fi grooves that playfully dance over flickering stabs and lush, soulful vocals. Next, 'This ‘N That’ delivers thudding kicks and swirling sirens that lock you into its relentless breakbeat groove, while ‘Hello You’ harnesses an infectious bassline with assertive percussion and electro-tinged melodies. To close, ‘Search 4 Pleasure’ continues to bring the energy as sparking synths and robotic vocals go to work to shape up the EP in style.

M-High ‘Search 4 Pleasure’ drops via Hot Creations on 13th September 2024.

II OUT NOW II  Buy/Stream: orcd.co/HXT133  Hottrax has long been a go-to label for house heads around the globe, thanks to head honcho Jamie Jones’ legendary tastemaking providing a platform for breakout talents and diverse underground sounds. Following up on its six-part ‘Tripleution’ V/A series from last year, the label now launches a new series that offers a bumper selection of irresistible beats perfect for all hours of the night.  Rising star Emery (CH) opens up the release with 'Keep It Cool', a characterful cut with bristling breaks and piano stabs laced through the mix as clipped vocals and balmy pads bring warmth to the old-school motifs. Kinhaa's 'Metal Elvis' is a steely number where dry hits and twanging synths make for a futuristic groove, complete with a brilliantly melodic bassline and playful horns. Next up, BizZa’s 'Real Dancing' is low down and dirty with a dubby bassline and squelchy acid sounds topped with loose percussion that makes you want to move.   A three-way collab between Marian, Yolanda Be Cool & Fast Eddie means 'Side To Side' is an arresting tribal house jam drawing for funky Afro drum patterns designed to pump the party. Gustaff's 'Caligula' pairs things back with fizzing synth stabs lighting up the bouncing groove. There is a raw filth in the bassline that roams beneath the crisp kicks and hits of Mariano Lunadei's twitchy 'Work That Body' before Mene's 'Cuttin 1000' adopts a high-speed house sound with edgy synths and warped vocals adding plenty of unhinged character for freely late night floors. Rounding out the V/A, Timid Boy & Frankov's 'Holograma' is a shuffling tech house beat fusing vocal fragments and laser-like synths shooting over the smooth, chord-laced grooves.

Venice-based rising DJ/producer Marco Rubin has been impressing the industry's finest with his energetic productions, including Loco Dice, Joseph Capriati, and The Martinez Brothers. Despite debuting just last year, he's already made a swift impact on Amine Edge & DANCE’s CUFF and Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations sub-label Hottrax, hinting at a promising future. Now, as he prepares for his second release on Jones’ groove-heavy imprint, Rubin drops three thumping house tracks across his 'Time To Dance’ EP.

“These tracks were born from the idea of capturing the pure energy and adrenaline you feel when you're on the dance floor. I wanted to create tracks that evoke that perfect moment when the music transports you, the rhythm becomes irresistible, and you truly feel it's time to dance. My inspiration came during nights in the clubs, where the connection between the music and the crowd is palpable, and it's that sense of freedom that I aimed to translate into sound.” - Marco Rubin 

‘Time To Dance’ kicks off with jacking grooves, crisp beats, and vocals that instruct movement on the dancefloor, while ‘Percussion’ pulses with hot, bouncy beats and fresh, vibrant drums layered over a slick, funk-filled groove. Closing with deep, pulsating tones and electrifying clatters, 'Electro Diva' crafts an irresistible, menacing blend that grips the senses.

Over the past year, he has been honing his craft, blending 90s-infused house with groovy analogue basslines on impressive releases like his ‘Bass Revolution’ EP on Max Dean’s NeXup imprint, which shot to No. 1 on Beatport within just two days and earned support from Chris Stussy and East End Dubs.
