Having recently reached Beatport number one with ‘Urban Shaker’, Manchester-based DJ/producer Sam Curran readies three new productions for Jamie Jones’ renowned Hottrax this April. Gaining previous support from Jamie Jones, Sidney Charles, and Franky Rizardo, Curran is back with another bass-heavy production that ensures an impressive return to the label. 

The title cut ‘Twilight On The Terrace’ brings rolling low end and playful vocal interjections that create a rousing club track, while the bumping ‘Eric’s Rumble’ showcases a reverberating bassline in true Hottrax style, paired with dizzying drops and wonky stabs. Closing out the EP ‘NRG’ harnesses crisp hats, snaking bass grooves, and moody, infectious samples to journey deep into late-night territories. 

“I made this EP in the hope of replicating some of the feelings I’ve felt on the dance floor with my own twist. The title track especially is inspired by the early 90s acid scene and the euphoric moments that came with it.” - Sam Curran 

Sam Curran ‘Twilight On The Terrace’ drops via North Of Neptune on 14th April 2023.

Kolter makes his debut appearance on Solid Grooves with the low-slung sonics of 'I Feel It Right'.

One of the scene's most consistent talents when it comes to records making a serious impact, yet an artist whose distinct trademark style still brings an endless supply of unexpected surprises, Cologne's Kolter has entered a new chapter in his artistic journey in full stride. Appearing for the London favourites last summer at DC10 with a special back-to-back to soundtrack the Grooves Motel alongside Chris Stussy, he steps up to make his label debut on Solid Grooves to close April with the slinking, garage-tinged sonics of his new single, 'I Feel It Right'.

Combining classic UKG-influenced stabs and skippy percussion with sporadic electronic fills, soulful vocal snippets and snaking low ends, the bubbly 'I Feel It Right' is a track drenched in classic UK flavours while providing a wealth of slick flips to proceedings. Kolter 'I Feel It Right' drops via Solid Grooves on 28th April 2023.

Hot Creations invites Murphy’s Law to make their first outing on the label with their new EP, ‘Every Day, All Day.’

Leicester-born brothers Sonny and Finn Murphy, collectively known as Murphy’s Law, have been on a rapid ascent since their much-loved rework of ‘Aint No Other Man’ on Ministry Of Sound Records last year, with their infectious beats catching the attention of industry giants like Marco Carola, Jamie Jones, and Joseph Capriati, while also earning regular airplay on BBC Radio 1. With their groove and soul-infused creations leading them to releases on respected labels such as DFTD, Kaluki, and Sola, they now stand on the brink of their most significant release yet, as they unveil their two-track EP, ‘Every Day, All Day’ on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’
acclaimed Hot Creations.

“Hot creations has been the label at the top of our bucket list since the very start. We have been listening to Jamie on dancefloors for the past decade, so to finally be a part of his iconic imprint feels incredible. The A-side 'Every Day, All Day' is a high-energy, tough terrace roller featuring contrasting euphoric synths and a catchy rap vocal. We wrote the B side, 'Pub Grub', with the aim of coming out of the studio with something that was stripped back, moody & pays homage to some of our favourite old Hot Creations releases over the years.” - Murphy’s Law

‘Every Day, All Day’ sets the tone with its relentless, synth-driven stabs, incorporating dubbed vocals to anchor the groove alongside playful beats. To close, ‘Pub Grub’ delivers warping lead synths, crisp claps and an acid-tinged bass groove for more peak-time ammunition.

Two of the UK's favourite house talents, East End Dubs and Wheats have been pushing their distinctive takes on the genre to new heights of late following another non-stop summer, which included notable returns to SG's Casino Motel at DC10 for both. With the former now making his label debut on Solid Grooves Records following countless appearances for the collective to date, and the latter returning to the label for the first time since his 2021 hit 'O La', here the pair collaborate for the very first time and showcase exactly why they're both in such high demand with the release of 'Searching'.

Harnessing an infectious, warped female vocal that bounces above skippy percussion, hooky stabs, off-kilter samples and a simmering bassline that propels the track forward, 'Searching' brings the best of both artists and serves up a hotly-awaited record that's been a staple for both all summer long.
