Tough Call

I’m back on the label for its 49th release. It is a 3-track EP that features my track ‘Samba’, where I showcase some of my influences growing up in Rio de Janeiro and of course, trying to bring a bit of the carnival experience from my hometown.

I also added 'Pitfall', a hypnotic track and one of my favorite productions to play while heating up the dancefloor. 'Tough Call' wraps up the EP, which slightly focuses on the darker side of my productions, bringing some extra spice to the release.

Straight from the heart of Amsterdam’s vibrant club scene, PIV founder Prunk and RED 87 offer up a first-time collaboration with their ‘Express EP’, landing 23rd May. Featuring three original cuts and a remix from UK duo RUZE, the release captures the duo’s shared passion for soulful house grooves—delivered just in time for summer. 

Opening with the title track, ‘Express’ brings together lush synth pads, simmering hi-hats, and echoed vocal snippets, crafting a warm, hypnotic energy that reflects the pair’s signature sound. RUZE steps in to reimagine the original with a sun-soaked, transportive flair, adding vibrant textures and an irresistible late-night feel. On ‘Listen’, Prunk and RED 87 showcase their knack for stripped-back club music, layering rippling melodies and tight, luscious percussion built for both the dancefloor and the afters. Closing cut ‘Break It Down’ tips its hat to classic Hot Creations energy—funk-laced, percussive, and oozing with charm, it wraps up the EP with a high-octane flourish. 

"When I was a young Prunk, I had a Hot Creations record on my wall. I remember playing all kinds of tracks from the label over the last 15 years, and I still do. From Hot Natured and Jamie Jones to Burnski and Danny Daze. It's one of those labels that is on almost every producer's release bucket list. After a few amazing shows at Paradise Ibiza over the last summer, I am finally releasing on the label. Obviously, a dream come true, and I'm happy to do it with one of my really good friends RED 87. A great EP, right in time for summer!" - Prunk. 
“When I started producing music, I never imagined that one day I’d release on Hot Creations. Honestly, it’s a dream come true. Hot Creations is and has always been a huge inspiration for me—many tracks and signed artists have shaped my sound and love for house music. It feels surreal to now be part of that legacy, and I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity. Also very thankful to share this moment with Prunk, an artist and very close friend I deeply respect. This project came together so naturally, as these tracks were made with love, groove, and good energy. It’s giving house music that feels right for the summer, and I can’t wait to celebrate that. Looking forward to more!” - RED 87 

With a genre-blending sound that fuses house, minimal, and beyond, Prunk has established himself as a key figure in the global house landscape. His releases on labels like Defected, Djebali, and Cecille, alongside his own PIV imprint—regularly topping Beatport’s best-seller charts—have earned him a global following, resonating with over 420,000 monthly Spotify listeners. Joining him is RED 87, whose refined and eclectic sound has caught the attention of selectors like Sidney Charles, DJ Steaw and Kellie Allen. Known for his delicate, groove-driven productions and underground sensibility, RED 87 proves a perfect creative match for Prunk on this milestone label debut for Hot Creations.

FLOWFAT is a new name coming out of Brazil’s underground, turning heads with a sharp ear for rhythm and groove. His sound—somewhere between deep tech and raw-edged house—has already found homes on imprints like Mood Child, Libero, CUFF, and Nervous, earning support from heavy hitters such as Joseph Capriati, wAFF and Jamie Jones along the way. Now entering a new chapter, the Brazilian talent steps onto Jones’ Hottrax for the first time with ‘Percy’, a three-track EP that dials into a space-minded aesthetic while keeping the sharp groove intact. 
“My release on Hottrax represents a very important milestone in my career. I've always dreamed of releasing on Jamie Jones' label, and I'm extremely happy to finally achieve this goal.” - FLOWFAT 

With rotating rhythms and distant echoes, ‘Percy’ drifts in like a transmission from deep space—eerie, hypnotic, and endlessly looping. ‘Memorian’ follows with a livelier tone, pairing vibrant rhythms with playful breakdowns for a colourful House jam packed with movement. Closing things out, ‘For You Love’ floats on breezy vocal cuts and funk-infused grooves, delivering a warm, sun-kissed closer with a glowing, feel-good energy.

Vinicius Honorio - Through The Darkness

Pre-order

Vinicius Honorio - Out For Blood

DC172 comes on behalf of Brazilian born Vinicius Honorio, a now London based producer and DJ who is making some serious in-roads amongst a new breed of techno artists. Having already released on labels such as Pig&Dan’s Elevate and dubspeeka’s Skeleton, the next natural step in his progression comes in the form of a release on Drumcode. 

‘Through The Darkness’ is a masterclass in darkened techno grooves, with each one of the four tracks managing to show off Honorio’s skill as a producer and just why he is firing on all cylinders. The release kicks off with ‘Walking Shadow’, a track that has been a key part of Adam Beyer’s sets at the tail end of 2016 and in to the new year. This tense, brooding affair has certainly garnered a lot of attention of late and it’s clear to see why. The title track ‘Through The Darkness’ is a much more of a stripped back cut, jam-packed with a haunting vocal hook, driving basslines and slick drums. This is one for the late night mischief makers. ‘Desolate’ is another hard-hitter, managing to perfectly balance that signature Honorio groove and pounding drums that adds depth to his productions. The release closes with the atmospheric ‘Out For Blood’, which is loaded with vintage rave stabs and weighty basslines – This one is meant to played in dark and sweaty rooms.

'Liberta' means the start of something in Portuguese slang from the streets of Rio De Janeiro, where DJ and Producer Vinicius Honorio was born. It also can mean freedom, so his brand new label wants to create just that - freedom for artists to express themselves with music.

Dying of the Light

Dying of the Light @ Liberta Records

Vinicius Honorio started 2018 off right, with his first release on his brand new label, Liberta Records. Keeping things close to his Brazilian roots, the name ‘Liberta’ is derived from Portuguese slang, meaning the start of something or freedom, which he wants to portray with the music being released on his label – a platform where artists can express themselves freely.

Drawing influence from his love of the early 2000's Deep Tech-House scene and twisting it with todays more familiar feel of Dub, Minimal, Deeper edged Techno, Valpy manipulates sounds into what he feels is right for the darker clubs & dance floors, creating a sound that does not follow suit, bending a few 'rules' along the way...

Using his many Clubbing experiences over the years in the UK, Ibiza, Amsterdam & beyond, Valpy has developed a passion for raw emotion filled techno, often challenging the sub woofers with his bass heavy touch, without busting the bank on the tempo front. A balance of 'good vs evil' can often be witnessed in a Valpy Techno piece

Fascinated with pitch & bass, Valpy has moulded and evolved his sound into what he produces today, recently gaining support from Pig & Dan, Ramiro Lopez, Dubspeeka & Matt Minimal, who also contribute to the style & development of his tracks, along with Alan Fitzpatrick, Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati & Carlo Lio

Having had 2 EP's released on dubspeekas Skeleton Label and also with Seva Records, Plunk, Lethal Script & Berberris in 2014 alone, Valpy's sound has now been recognised by fast up and coming label Gain Records, (supported by the likes of Richie Hawtin) with a Solo Artist Album due for release in April 2015. There are also further releases on Skeleton and new outfit Kitchen Smoke pencilled in over the next couple of months too

To close, Valpy aims to produce music he wants to hear on the same dance floors that he frequented over the years, experimenting along the way to produce his own unique blend, with the odd twist & turn along the way...
