The LowDown Top Tracks - October 2025

Kerri Chandler joins forces with Nae (SA) for new single ‘Caged Bird’, accompanied by remixes from the widely beloved Atjazz, and Moplen.
Leading the release is the ‘Full Vocal Media Mix’ of ‘Caged Bird’, which sees Kerri Chandler lay down emotive piano melodies, organic drums and atmospheric strings alongside soulful vocal stylings from South Africa’s Nae.
Up next is the first ‘Atjazz Remix’ of ‘Caged Bird’, a nine minute cinematic excursion from the British composer, embracing the soulful fragments of the original and twisting them into a slow burning, subtly evolving nine minutes delicately detailed with sweeping echoes, reversed reverberations, crisp percussion and choppy stab sequences. An ‘Atjazz Remix Instrumental’ follows, as the name would suggest stripping away the vocals.
Last but not least to complete the package, Bergamo, Italy’s Moplen, producer for the likes of G.A.M.M. and Lumberjacks In Hell delivers his twist on ‘Caged Bird’, shifting gears into more classic house realms, infusing drifting keys, weighty low end tones and heavily swung drums and violin melodies with the original’s smooth house aesthetic.

Berlin-based Donnie Cosmo launches Shuffle Valley with a sharp, deep-cut four-tracker that weaves through groove-led house, breaks, and subtle psychedelia. 'Space Time Surfer' opens the record with fluid basslines and glistening percussion-trippy but grounded, the kind of roller that finds its mark in long, locked-in blends. 'Let Yourself Go' shifts into broken rhythm mode, laced with loose drums and warped textures before slipping seamlessly into a steady 4/4-playful, mutating, and built for curious selectors. On the flip, 'International Acid' goes inward: smoky, hypnotic and slightly off-centre, it leans into more mental terrain without losing its grip on the floor. Christopher Ledger closes with a weightless rework of 'Let Yourself Go', adding polish and negative space while staying faithful to the original's off-kilter charm. A confident first chapter for the label, and a quietly distinctive release from an artist with a clear voice.

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.
