In the midst of the increasingly popular house music hurricane comes a fresh two track EP from one of the movement’s most promising talents, Richy Ahmed. Taking cues from hip-hop, techno, funk and disco, ‘The Drums’ EP arrives on the 2nd of December via Hot Creations.

Just stretching his limbs in terms of his discography, in less than two years the London-based producer has gathered some series attention. From 2011’s slinky, deep house mover 'Suck It' (Hot Creations) to his 80's chicago manipulation remix of Infinity Ink's 'Infinity', there’s always an enviable glisten about his work. His wizardry behind the decks lead to him being named resident DJ at DC10's Paradise this summer with the season coming to an end in late September.

'The Drums' got its maiden plays during Richy's Boiler Room Set and the takeovers of Paradise Ibiza. The EP steps out of the blocks with definite verve. Title track, 'The Drums', a hip-house barnstormer of a track it massages a buttery-smooth rolling bassline into a four-to-the-floor backdrop with contagious results. Legend, Kevin Knapp, jumps on vocal duty dropping in and out with praise to 'the drums'. On the flip side, '101 Jam' is a rolling analogue slice of deep house brilliance. Here, Richy pitches skittering hi-hats and hyperactive synth movements atop a robust bassline foundation. It proves homage to the brand of house celebrated right from the genre’s genesis.

This April will see up and coming duo Waifs & Strays release their ‘Don’t You Stop’ EP via Kerri Chandler’s MadTech Records, a two track single from the Bristolian artists.

Waifs & Strays aka Amos Nelson & Richard Beanland can boast quite the impressive back catalogue, having racked up singles on some of contemporary electronic music’s leading imprints, such as Futureboogie, Hot Creations, Leftroom and Heidi’s Jackathon Jams. Here we see the pair add another driving force onto their affiliations, joining the MadTech Records roster, and following the footsteps of Josh Butler, Redway and Mia Dora of late.

Opening up the single is title cut ‘Don’t You Stop’, seeing the duo skilfully amalgamate loose, lowslung drums, bright chord sequences, wandering saw-wave bass stabs and stuttering acid hits, while a selection of vocal snippets are carefully structured to further fuel the evolving, infectious groove.

The duo then offer up ‘Dance With Me’ as a B-Side to close the single, again we see their signature groove-led style on offer, as they merge choppy bass hits with swinging 909 drums to lay the foundations. A low-pitched vocal uttering the track’s title and resonant synth lines are then thrown into the focal stages of the record in a subtly evolving fashion to round of the composition as a dance floor
focused house number.

Shadow Child and Kry Wolf’s Food Music has gained a reputation since its inception for consistently supporting new and exciting sounds across the bass music spectrum, and that is set to continue with the release of the long-awaited ‘Girls/Breathe’ EP from Food fan favourites Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo.
Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo are the Birmingham-based duo behind ‘Dappy’, the immense bass house track that made waves across the UK dance scene and received a DJ Mag Best of British nomination for ‘Best Tune’. Hannah Wants’s bi-monthly mixtape series has gained an almost legendary status, while Chris Lorenzo has made his name collaborating with the likes of Pete Graham and as part of the duo Cause & Affect. Both Hannah and Chris also regularly appear at Birmingham’s seminal 10:31 and 2:31 club nights, cementing their standing as two of the scene’s most exciting names right now.
Although the duo have become notorious for their hard-hitting sound, ‘Girls’ and ‘Breathe’ show off a slightly different side to Hannah and Chris. First up is ‘Girls’, which uses samples from an R’n’B classic to create an intense, moody track with a driving bassline. 

On the flip, ‘Breathe’ may surprise listeners at first with its airy and atmospheric pads, but soon returns to more familiar territory with an 808-style bottom line that will get the floor bouncing.

Dropping just in time for summer, both ‘Girls’ and ‘Breathe’ will be met with excitement from fans and DJs alike, as Hannah and Chris continue to mold their own unique sound.

Rising UK duo Mia Dora comprises Al Quinn and Robert Etherson, two budding DJ’s and Producers who are becoming increasingly in demand as their careers blossom, the pair have struck a chord over the past few years with their energy fuelled, underground house sound. Dropping material via the likes of Glasgow Underground, Moda Black, Morris Audio and MadTech where they return to there, these associations being telling of the quality and universal appeal embodied in the pair’s productions.

Opening the release is title cut ‘Myth’ which sees Mia Dora collaborate with recent MadTech signing Let The Machines Do The Work. With such an array of talent on board it’s no surprise to see the outcome is a striking and emotive production employing mesmerizing vocal lines, bright piano progressions and rumbling bass tones to create a contemporary heavy-hitter.

Gruuv / Leftroom artists Newbie Nerdz step up to rework ‘Myth’ next, offering up their typically polished production style with swinging 909 style drums alongside drawn out bass and tom-tom hits, while the
original vocal licks and smooth piano chords add a further charm and character to the interpretation.

Then last up to round things off is another original from Mia Dora, going at it alone this time with ‘Sedative’, a charming lo-fi infused composition led by melodious piano’s, hypnotic atmospherics and crunchy low-slung drums to close the package on an elegant tip.

In summer 2012, the crew launched the weekly Paradise events in Ibiza DC10, now in its third year and one of the current highlights on the island.

As well as a host of massive remixes for the likes of Katy B on Columbia, Phil Kieran on Hot Flush, Michael Janson on Resonance Records, Richy also had a major coup curating the Rinse: 23 compilation to wide critical acclaim, cementing Richy’s status in the nu school elite.

RELEASE DATE: 27/08/2012

Back with yet another killer release and proving why it is impossible to pigeonhole this unstoppable label, Hot Creations welcome you into the utterly mesmerizing world of Freaks with their next huge hit ‘Black Shoes White Socks.’ This epic single release features impressive remixes from Chicago legend Cajmere and Hot Creation’s new recruit wAFF.

The ever evolving and never predictable music venture that is Freaks first materialized as the brainchild of house heroes Luke Solomon and Justin Harris. Having remixed for artists such as Pulp, Damon Albarn and Kasabian and receiving support from a wide selection of artists including Derrick Carter, Damian Lazarus, The Chemical Brothers, Ewan Pearson and Laurent Garnier, there is no doubt that Freaks are a welcomed addition to the Hot Creation’s camp. Not to mention they had a top 10 hit in the UK charts in 2007 with ‘The Creeps’..

Wonderfully enchanting ‘Black Shoes White Socks’ oozes the air of a timeless classic, beautifully mystifying with intoxicating vocals and off-kilter Arabian flutes, it showcases immaculate production while perfectly grasping the sound of the new era, edged with popular appeal and disco flare.

Up first on remix duty, number one professional Curtis Jones aka Cajmere delivers a dance floor bomb like only he can. This deep groover is pumped with a powerful bass and shoulder shifting clap while an effective play on the vocal is used to maximum effect. Over on the B–side and fresh from his debut EP on the label ‘Rainbows’, wAFF adds a welcoming dose of techno. This heavy-duty remix is certainly one for peak time, with added vocals submerged in deep, driving energy, this rising star is one to keep a close eye on.
