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.

Solid Grooves Raw invite Italian newcomer Boogie to the label for his debut release, 'Jet Black'. Launched in 2017, Solid Grooves Raw has grown to form a sound of its own and a reputation as a go-to imprint for some of the biggest records in rotation amongst the leading names in the game.

Housing music from established talent such as label co-founder PAWSA and key family member Dennis Cruz, the project also serves as a hotbed for showcasing and discovering the scene's most exciting new names, with the likes of SOSA, Beltran, Max Dean and Chklte all featuring on the label amongst a long-list of rising talent.

Next up to join that long list and make his debut is Torino-based newcomer Boogie as he serves up his debut single, 'Jet Black'. With a series of hooky vocals at its core, 'Jet Black' combines sharp percussion, slinking bass grooves and sweeping melodies amongst energy-charged snare rolls and builds for a crisp, heavy-hitting cut made for the floor.

wAFF makes a triumphant return to Hot Creations after a seven-year hiatus with his three-track, groove-driven ‘Slapfunk EP’. 

Since his first outing back in 2012, wAFF has been an integral part of the Hot Creations family, remixing various releases and dropping a total of four EPs - the last being ‘Sick Pleasure’ in 2016, which still stands today as a highlight in the label’s extensive catalogue. Marking a long-awaited return to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ beloved imprint after seven years, with material via renowned labels such as Solid Grooves, Cocoon, Desolat and his very own NATURE imprint over that period further establishing him as a leading name, he arrives fresh from his third Paradise show of the season ready to ignite dancefloors with a trio of irresistible beats on ‘Slapfunk’. A project inspired following a night soundtracked by the Amsterdam collective, he notes “I originally made this EP after I’d been to Slapfunk in Amsterdam, and looked to create a track I thought would go down well there”. 

Title track ‘Slapfunk’ opens the release with shifting stabs, warping bass patterns and fizzing lead synths, steadily progressing into a menacing club-focused workout. Continuing his signature style, ‘Questions’ showcases a blend of pulsating beats synchronised with a warped vocal topline that enhances the allure. Finally, ‘Next Game’ delivers a punchy trip loaded with subtle minimal-leaning influences, combining chopped vocal snippets with slick, stripped-back percussion. 

wAFF ‘Slapfunk EP’ drops via Hot Creations on 8th September 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.
