Funk Cartel bring their rave-ready sounds to Hottrax with the three-track ‘Discotexx EP’. 

Brothers Blame Rory and Kimono Cam have quickly risen through the ranks with releases on the likes of Etiquette and Deeperfect, as well as running their own THUNDR imprint. The taste-making duo now step up for Jamie Jones's always-on-point Hottrax with three robust and richly detailed cuts. 

'Discotexx' kicks off with freaky vocals, sci-fi sonic details and plenty of effects that make the track irresistible. The superb 'Higher' is another slice of dance floor dynamite, with a fluid bassline combined with addictive grooves for a spaced-out, futuristic track. Last but not least is 'Feel It,' another full flavour cut with punchy drum programming, trippy vocal fragments, and whirring sounds taking it into cosmic realms. 
“It goes without saying how influential a label Hottrax has been these past few years and we are proud to be adding our flavour to the catalog. We hope the EP represents a fresh sound, we made all three tracks with the intention of bringing driving energy to the dance floor.” - Funk Cartel. 

Funk Cartel’s ‘Discotexx EP’ drops via Hottrax on 4th August 2023.

Self-taught producer Cristian Viviano steps up next with ‘Mastafunka’, with its strumming bass notes and groovy drum programming. The German duo Raumakustik, Sola and Repopulate Mars associate Clyde P and multifaceted musician Jil Tanner join forces on the jagged beat notes of ‘Come With Me’, punching through with pumping breakdowns and a weighty bassline and highlighting Hottrax’s penchant for underground cuts.

British-Chinese twins Rhett and Conran Lee are the powerhouses behind IDEMI, an all-new underground house project. The duo have spent years writing and crafting tracks under their production guise ‘Twin Lee’ for the likes of John Summit, Solardo, and Schak, to name a few, but now go it alone with their club-ready and high-impact sonics, the latest of which are distilled into this label debut on Jamie Jones’ Hottrax.

"Outta The Box EP is the beginning of us showcasing our sound - club records inspired by the underground house music that defined the 90s. It’s an amazing feeling to release our debut EP on Hottrax with the support of Jamie Jones, and we're pumped for these to be out just in time for summer." - IDEMI

Up first is 'Outta The Box', a brilliantly stylish and catchy house cut that exudes feel-good summer vibes. The busy melodies are bright and playful as they dart about the mix before belting vocals ring out and future-facing beats keep you moving. Then comes 'Dum Dum', a more sweat-inducing tech house sound with raw drums and sharp percussion underpinned by a pulsing bassline and topped with deft pads and vocal stabs. More majestic synths arrive later on to amp things up even further.

IDEMI ‘Outta The Box’ EP drops via Hottrax on 24th May 2024.
