On April 24, 2020 the electronic music world lost one it’s most beloved legends, Mike Huckaby. 
A pivotal figure in Detroit, Michigan and around the globe, renown as a seminal D.J., producer, educator and tastemaker.

Four artists, have come together to pay a special tribute to his legacy with The Educator EP. Each uniquely comprised variations of the Educator, originally spearheaded by Manchester’s rising talent, Jamie S and remixed by iiiso3, Jay Hill & LIBS. This limited press release commemorates Huckaby’s life, using vocal cuts from Huckaby’s last interview and purchased samples from his website. 

Jamie S.’s original mix is a heartfelt & classy deep house number comprised of filtered textures, floating pads and dubby chords that give way to a sublime introduction for the A side title tune. Making for an exquisite second release on People of the Light. 

One of Liverpool’s best hidden secrets, iiiso3 joins the POTL family with his massive a-side Deep In Detroit mix – a deep & dub tech rendition that showcases his top talents via smooth & unwavering swells and chords that circulate and layer in kaleidoscopic fashion. Taking us on a hypnotic drum & percussion journey that is all the while, classy, psychedelic, and soulful.

POTL founder, Jay Hill provides her B-side Detroit Reverence interpretation that is a lush, lighthearted deep tech dance floor builder. 

Finishing off the B-side, POTL A&R multi-talent, LIBS delivers his Motor City Soul mix that captivates the melodic house lovers. With bright arpeggiations, eclectic synths & subby basslines lay the foundation for this intriguing audio journey taking you into the late night hours aptly. . .

Philadelphia-based DJ and producer, Jay Hill, brings her soulful touch to Emerald City with I Am Here, featuring vocals from the incredible South African slam-poet Lazarusman. UK powerhouse Richy Ahmed completes the package with a weighty remix. 

Hearing Lazarusman’s poems online, Jay Hill was inspired to take two of his works and create a beautiful story. “I envisioned the final outcome to be a feel good, deep tech track and worked with a lot of percussions to add colour intrigue" she explains. Of his lyrics, Lazarusman clarifies that the line “do you remember me?” refers to “when we meet or interact with someone on a deep, spiritual level it might mean that we've possible met before in another life”. 

The EP opens with the original cut of I Am Here. The thudding kick drum is juxtaposed against a warm, woozy bassline as Lazarusman’s catchy vocal hook echoes throughout. It’s dreamy yet assured, making it perfect dance floor fodder. On his reimagining of the track, Richy Ahmed litters it with percussion and adds a pounding bassline to create that definitive after-hours number. 

Jay Hill is steadily forging a solid reputation for herself in the industry. Her DJ sets show her innate ability to transcend genres and captivate dance floors. She’s had releases on New York’s vinyl-only label Local Raider, FM Elle, and Mr C’s Superfreq imprint. South-African poet, Lazarusman, has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music including Florian Kruse, Martin Stimming and Alex Dimou and has released music on highly regarded labels including Gruuv, Stil Vor Talent, Get Physical and Rebellion. One of the key members of the Hot Creations family, Richy Ahmed has also had releases on Strictly Rhythm as well as his own label, Four Thirty Two. His prolific DJ sets have earned him a place in Resident Advisor’s Top 100 DJs three years in a row.

We are very excited to share with you previews of our 2nd label release, Evolution Party project. 

Evolution Party is the culmination of two female artists (@jayneuf & @ursula-rucker) based in Philadelphia who were brought together by the suggestion of legendary composer and musical genius, King Britt. (@https://soundcloud.com/kingbritt)

This special face-to-face, soul-to-soul connection is graciously translated through the gorgeous, floating melodic beauties contained in the original mix.

Leading the EP with dense, pulsing bassline contrasting with ethereal pads and driving forward all the while. The final output displays the marriage of hypnotism and melody perfectly with Ursula’s classic
concoction of poetics and singing that are brimming with sensitivity and presence.

For the second chapter of the Evolution Party tale, POTL label boss Jay Hill wanted to balance the release with her love affair of warehouse style techno and called upon Swedish techno prince (@tiger-stripes) to do the job. . . His astonishing rendition offers a pure Drumcode style workout laden with trippy dub chords and choice moments of drops in order to propel its unrelenting momentum as a backdrop for Ursula’s emotive vocals. Tiger Stripes relentlessly bangs on the drums with thunderclaps and lightning bolts essential for the late night, main room devastation. . .

Jay Hill Feat. Ursula Rucker - Evolution Party

The third instalment of People of the Light records is an amalgamation of two very special pieces of music. Across both tracks there are sketching of darkness and light that sway towards deep soundtracky atmospheres set against upbeat, positive and thoroughly danceable foundations.

‘Life is a Beautiful Day’ encapsulates the concept of the EP that is intuitive, smooth, composed with moments of unwavering swells and stabs that move and circulate the core, layering the track in a classy and soulful space. A personal anthem for People of the Light label founder, @jayneuf the track seems to have a certain cultural timeliness as we all live through this experience of world changing global events.

Manchester UK based @jamie-christer comes to the POTL family with ‘The Sun in Splendour’, a timeless track that touches upon deep and at times Balearic feels, pure sunshine in a bottle. A starry mix of warm tones, electronic hints and soulfully inspired sounds. Jamie is coming into the limelight with a unique sound and style that’s all his own.

For remix duties on POTL004, we have called upon Sid Vaga & Herald (@sidvagaherald), the New York based Parisien duo flip the original into a dreamy straight down the line Tech House masterclass, utilising the ebb and flow of the original track to maximum effect as they give their own inspired take on the ideas.

People of the light come correct with their 5th record and after a string of stand out releases - Jay Hills (@jayneuf) new imprint isn't taking its foot off the gas. Bringing in some of the best artists in the scene POTL005 sees Jay joined by long time comrades Sid Vaga & Herald (@sidvagaherald). Jay met these guys back in the day running parties in New York and they have got together for this stunning collaboration. Having previously stepped up for a remix it is their turn to drop the originals with Grind, I Feel and Get Into It.

Sid Vaga & Herald are a New York/Parisian based duo that bring their unique Acid Tech vibe to the part in this EP. Firmly aimed at the dancefloor with a freshness that only People of the Light can bring to bare. Between the hypno-rhythm of the title track Grind and the chunky beatdown of I Feel It, this EP is an offering to the gods of the biggest dancefloor. Main room, peak time and ice cannon in full effect - there is even a cheeky bonus which takes you into the small hours with a bit of minimal edged sickness.
