As Hot Creations celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2025, label co-founder Lee Foss makes a long-awaited return to the imprint for the first time in half a decade with a powerful new collaboration alongside Colorado-based talent GS5. Titled ‘In The Ghetto’, the two-track release sees one of the label’s originators link up with a standout new-school voice for a release that bridges eras, aesthetics, and dancefloors. 

“It’s always exciting to come back to the label that started it all for me,” says Foss. “Jamie and I put so much into Hot Creations in those early days, and it set up my career for so much success. ‘In The Ghetto’ feels like the perfect release to return with. It has some of the deep, soulful, and abstract elements that marked my early work on the label, merged with the modern, skippy, minimal and techy trademarks of today. GS5 is an exciting new artist from Denver who reached out with some cool demos and was interested in collaborating, and I knew as soon as we got to work that these would be perfect for HC.” 

Lead track ‘In The Ghetto’ hits with low-slung swagger and vibrant vocal energy, channelling a bass-heavy strut and hypnotic vocal loops that nod to early Hot Creations flavours while pushing into contemporary terrain. On the flip, ‘Hardest’ brings a tougher-edged groove and hazy late-night vibe, peppered with sharp percussion and warped vocal work to bring after-hours pressure. 

GS5 adds: “With Hot Natured being some of my earliest introductions to electronic music, this release means the world to me. Being given the opportunity to work with one of my biggest inspirations and to land this on his label with Jamie Jones is a dream come true.” 
A pioneering force in the evolution of modern house music, Lee Foss has left an indelible mark on global dance culture through his work as a producer, DJ, and label head. From shaping a new era with Hot Natured to launching his chart-topping Repopulate Mars imprint, Foss continues to set the tone across the scene, and his return arrives just days before he joins the Paradise family once again at UNVRS in Ibiza on 17th September. GS5, meanwhile, has been quickly rising through the ranks, making noise with releases on Hood Politics and Material Series and making appearances for Experts Only and range. With heavy support from both Hot Creations co-founders, he’s building a reputation as a name to know when it comes to talents causing a stir stateside.

Waifs & Strays are at it again, this time sliding seamlessly into the supremely sexy catalogue of Hot Creations with ‘Body Shiver’, another pair of Bristol bombs with a rowdy remix from Hot Natured to roll out the summer.

Amos Nelson and Rich Beanland aka Waifs & Strays have been making light work of sound-tracking the past few months with their funked up summer jams. From making an International impact with ‘Yeah Yeah’ on Leftroom Records to their latest smash on Futureboogie, the tour de force duo from the thriving Bristol house scene continues to unleash essential DJ weaponry to keep the party moving.

Already a highlight on Jamie Jones’ recent Fabric Album, ‘Body Shiver’ is now presented in full with an extra helping of dirty grooves on Hot Creations, the label synonymous with genre-popping funk, good times and sunnier climes. Kicking off with the electrifying ‘Body Shiver’, Waifs & Strays take the principles of house music and inject their own fresh and eclectic energy, joining the dots from classic to nu-school in an effortless style that instantly captivates the dancefloor. Punchy drums, soaring synths, melodic bassline groove, shimmering vocal snippets and old school piano stabs – all wrapped up in one lightly jacking and highly addictive package.

On the flip ‘Eat Into My Soul’ builds into a deep and heavy groover, with plenty of rolling sub-bass, beats that bite and fiercely jutting synth stabs. The cut up vocals and the distorted textures of the pads serve up layers of atmosphere within the solid groove.

Main boys Hot Natured make a welcome return with a playful remix of ‘Body Shiver’. Highlighting the vocal from the off and firing canons of spasmodic rave bleeps amongst the shaking rhythms and chopped up frequencies, the track progresses into deeper territory with the pair’s signature bassline drop, upping the groove along with electronic drops of melody and latent rise of eerie intergalactic synths.
