With a range of talents at his disposal, Diego Carr, has hit a rich vein of form within the underground dance community through his Hot TuneiK pseudonym, culminating now with the "Erase and Rewind" EP for Particles. Owner of the ever-growing Hookah Records, the Hot TuneiK production portfolio continues to impress with an expanding array of remix and production material for the likes of 76 Recordings, 3rd Avenue and Balkan Connection. 

A trio of remixes have hit the Particles catalogues, two alongside Belgian producer, Madloch, while "Through Other Dimensions", part of the "Spring Particles 2016" compilation, showcased the Mexican's original work. Now returning, "Erase and Rewind" is redolent in solid, chunky groove that rolls effortlessly in percussive cadence and off-beat hi-hats. A perfectly spaced bass pattern adds depth as a series of textured pads and melodies filter into aural view. Reaching a crescendo in a stripped back breakdown, a huge analogue bass riff carries the track into the third movement creating a colossal dance-floor destroyer that is sure to find favour across the globe.

UK based, Imran Khan, is 2016 newcomer to the underground dance music fraternity. Hitting the ground running at a considerable pace, a debut on Clinique Recordings with the three-track "Distance Between Us" EP, brought immediate success in November 2016, while further work for Astrowave, BQ Recordings and Stellar Fountain have continued to showcase Khan's talent, the latter accounting for the best-selling "Winter Sun" in April 2017. Now debuting on Particles, the Imran Khan remix takes "Erase and Rewind" on near ten-minute voyage of discovery. Utilising elements of Hot TuneiK's percussive section, the bass dominance of the original is intelligently reworked in rousing fashion. Accompanied by exquisite placement of the chord progressions so central to the original, the result is the creation of a sublime undulating rework full of poise.

The final remix comes from Colombians Kamilo Sanclemente and Golan Zocher. Sanclemente has leapt to prominence through a prolific and tireless production schedule that came of age after 2013's "Angels EP" for Suite 7 Records. Nearly a double century of production credits now sit proudly next to the Sanclemente name with Majestic Family, Stellar Fountain and Perspectives Digital among them. A 2016 newcomer to underground scene, Golan Zocher, has grown in reputation with a clutch of impressive releases for Crossfade Sounds, Balkan Connection and Forward Music throughout 2017. Understandably, Zocher's standing within the underground house scene continues to thrive. Following on from a remix of Dmitry Molosh for Clubsonica, Kamilo Sanclemente and Golan Zocher now make their debut on particles with a brooding, evolving remix that uses the rolling bass groove of the original and transforms it into a dynamic, hypnotic affair. Rising to an exciting crescendo with a distorted, stuttered and pitch bent riff, the third movement is welcomed in stunning fashion. Combined with Hot TuneiK's chord progressions, the resultant work is an impressive debut.

With Hot TuneiK on dynamic form, accompanied by mature remixes from Imran Khan, Kamilo Sanclemente and Golan Zocher, there is certainly no need to "Erase and Rewind".
