Morgan Cole makes his Hottrax debut this February with ‘Initiate EP’

Having signed his first EP to Patrick Topping’s Trick imprint at the end of 2020, Morgan Cole has had a strong 12 months since welcoming releases on Nervous, REALM and Sola alongside track support from the likes of Richy Ahmed, Michael Bibi, PAWSA and Eli Brown. Now, Jamie Jones’ esteemed Hottrax welcomes the 22 year old talent with three track, vibrating house EP ‘Initiate’. 

Direct percussion and throbbing basslines drive growling opening track ‘Initiate’ as tantalizing female vocals and squelching lazer samples pave the way for this peak-time EP. Next, the head bopping ‘Real Funk’ delivers a shuffling base, tight hats and glistening cymbals while female vocals dance over the beat before computer driven ‘System Error’ pays homage to the Hottrax back catalogue with sinister vocals, game-like bleeps and rumbling tones. 

Morgan Cole ‘Initiate’ EP drops via Hottrax on 18th February 2022. 

Tracklist: 
1) Initiate 
2) Real Funk 
3) System Error

Our latest VA compilation arrives in time for the renowned Miami Music Week featuring a wave of new faces and returning talent from around the globe. 

The world-renowned Miami Music Week returns in its entirety in 2022. What better way to celebrate it than a compilation to mark the occasion? Making up our MMW VA, we welcome a host of international acts to the stage as they share an array of forward-thinking underground cuts!

Teknically Speaking blow the door wide open with ‘Titled’, bringing swinging grooves, jazzy melodies and soulful vocal arrangements to create a certified vibe-builder. ‘Look Out’ follows with Chris Brooks and Martin Bordacahar turning out a terrace-geared percussive jam with bottom-heavy beats, subtle harmonies and hooky vox constructions. Simon Salazar’s ‘Fergilicious’ ramps up the pace with driving rhythms and pulsating bass notes and a nostalgic vocal topline, churning out a guaranteed dancefloor heater - also accompanied by a stripped-back ‘Dub Mix’.

MartinoResi, Baraçal and Marcelo keep up the tempo with more percussive-driven mastery on ‘Tombo’, delivering a groove-laden mix of sturdy drums, captivating melodic factors and sultry vocal runs. Ivan Zorzolo and Julio Bravo’s ‘Crashed’ takes a deep dive, stripping back the energy and emphasising an underground feel via a heavyset kick and sub combo, scattered percs and glitchy sampling. Matt Arnold’s ‘Hero Or Nero’ showcases his increasingly-popular audio signature of tribal-tinged rolling beats and blossoming musicality, bringing weighty terrace rhythms and vivid injections of harmony from end to end.

JXR’s ‘Euphoria’ builds around layers of gritty leads, pads, and bass notes alongside punchy drum work and fizzing hat sequences for an undeniably danceable and charismatic cut. ‘Liket’ sees Matías Schaller dip back into the heavier end of the spectrum with colossal rhythmic sub-bass and big-room appeal from the outset, making it a prime time playlist pick. JP Torres closes the compilation with ‘Oh Right!’, keeping the energy at a resounding high level with a vocally-driven dancefloor weapon full of riveting cadence and unwavering intrigue from the very start.  

Various Artists - Miami Music Week '22 is out on 17th March 2022 on Unnamed & Unknown.
