Riding high as ANTS’ Next Gen 2024 winners, London-based DJ duo FIRZA are in the midst of a breakout twelve months, with a busy 2025 schedule within Europe coupled with recognition of their percussive sound from the likes of Marco Carola and Joseph Capriati. With previous releases on Microhertz, NATURE, and WYLD, to pair now join Jamie Jones’ Hottrax with their three-track EP ‘Erase It’ on 27th June, bringing their dancefloor-ready sound to a label they’ve long admired. 

“Releasing on Hottrax is a huge milestone in our music career, and it's a massive honour being welcomed onto a label we admire so much. Jamie has been a big inspiration to us from the start, and we’ve been sending him music for years, hoping for this moment. Hottrax has always been a go-to label for our sets, and we’ve played tunes from its catalogue at almost every gig we've done, so to now be part of that legacy is surreal. These tracks were made with the dancefloor in mind and to bring energy during those peak-time moments in the club. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making them!” - FIRZA. 

Title track ‘Erase It’ unfolds through rich, undulating grooves and sub-shaking basslines, layered with crisp tech beats and rolling, low-ends. Next, ‘Feel 4 U ’leans into a darker rhythm with echoing textures that shimmer through, showcasing FIRZA’s knack for groove-powered direction. Closing out the EP, ‘Closer’ centres on percussive-driven beats, where wobbling sonics and thumping patterns define the track’s vibrant energy and dynamic vibe.

Hottrax continues to spotlight tomorrow’s talent with the arrival of Manchester-based duo MINDLESS., who make their label debut with the bold and club-focused ‘Turn It Up’ EP. Formed by Harry Carvell and Kieran Dearden, MINDLESS. is a new name emerging from the UK’s house landscape. Having only launched the project earlier this year, the pair have quickly found traction, catching the attention of tastemakers and DJs alike. Now, just months after their first release, they step onto Jamie Jones’ influential imprint, joining a catalogue renowned for championing fresh artists and future sounds. 

“Honestly, we can’t believe that in the space of six months we have gone from making our first track together for fun after work, to getting a Hottrax EP - a label that was only considered a dream to release on back in February. We thought it might be a joke because we really didn't expect this so soon! It is an honour to release on the same label as household names within the scene who inspired us to begin this journey originally. Jamie, being a key driver to our love for music, makes this release so special to us. Anyone who knows us, recognises the importance of Jamie's event Paradise as a huge inspiration to steer our passion for music. We are so proud to share with you our ‘Turn It Up’ EP on Hottrax and hope you connect with it the same way we do” - MINDLESS. 

The title track ‘Turn It Up’ kicks things off with crisp drums, snaking bass, and a tight, looping groove that keeps momentum at its core. Meanwhile, ‘Taste It’ turns the energy up a notch, blending darker textures with subtle low-end pressure. It’s a confident label debut, signalling an exciting start for the Manchester pair as they join a growing wave of new artists pushing things forward. 

MINDLESS. ‘Turn It Up’ drops via Hottrax on 22nd August 2025.
