Rising UK-talent Guy Mac makes a much-anticipated debut on Hot Creations in January with the Sonic Boom EP. Made up of three original tracks, the release acts as both Guy’s and the label’s inaugural release of 2022.

Guy discussed how the EP came to fruition, stating: “Sonic Boom was the result of a late-night studio session in lockdown 2020, experimenting with different sounds. The inspiration was to create something with the euphoric energy we were missing out on, given that clubs were shut at the time. Massive thanks to Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, and everyone at the label for the opportunity.”

The title track kicks off proceedings in an outright party fashion, as rampant kicks lay beneath up-tempo hats to set the tone. Reverberating vocals bounce alongside driving synth lines, before we’re soon graced with the stripped-back sounds of Waku Waku. Tribal-laced percussion opens into pulsing, space-like samples, whilst the enthralling chant of “waku waku” shimmers softly throughout. Rounding off the EP is Don’t Stop, another no-nonsense, late-night cut packed full of 4x4 drum patterns that perfectly encapsulates Guy’s hard-hitting, club-ready sound.

An artist making continuous strides in the house and techno space, London-based DJ and producer Guy Mac is an exponential contender for most, if not all, ‘ones to watch in 2022’ shortlists. His work has found a home on some of the industry’s best-known labels such as Sola Nauts, Under No Illusion, Armada Subjekt, Glasgow Underground, SK Recordings and more. Outside of the studio, Guy has also made a significant impact on his clubland presence, with bookings at Ministry of Sound, Egg London, ADE and Miami Music Week parties representing a handful of his most notable highlights.

Revealing a collaboration immersed within Melbourne, late September sees Strawberry Fields and Beyond the Valley regulars Market (Sean Rault) and Memories (Oliver James) combine with one of the city’s finest veterans, Mike Callander. With a mutual love for creating unique dancefloor moments, with Market Memories supported by the likes of Camelphat, Denis Sulta, and Cristoph alongside Callandar’s work remixing Aussie rockers The Drones and The Jezabels plus playing in The MESS Synthesizer Orchestra, the trio combine for the very first time to deliver ‘Clover’ – joined by Gold Coast DJ and producer Little Fritter on remix duties.

Breaking traditional production conventions, with Callander warping and twisting the track’s infectious bassline to accompany the bubbling hooks and slick percussion laid down by the Market Memories guys, ‘Clover’ is a club cut made for big moments, while Little Fritter’s take ups the tempo as shuffling drums, snaking low-ends and soaring synths make for a no-nonsense, dynamic ride into the peak time.

Diynamic welcomes Australian DJ and Producer Airwolf Paradise, who is dropping a high-energy four-tracker EP on the Hamburg imprint.
Title Track „Only Man“ features the flirtatious vocals of „So Much“ by Chicago House legend Paul Johnson, set against all out techno percussions and a ferocious acid lead that will stick in your mind long after the track has ended.
„No Good“ is a dark groove for hazy after hours, while „Work My Body“ is pure peak time madness.
And closing off the „Only Man EP“ is „No Return“, a melodic mantra that slowly burns into your mind while you dance with closed eyes.

Accompanying the release is a remix from one of Amsterdam's finest techno producers, 2000 And One's Lo-Motion Funk Mix evens out the tempo, allowing the funk elements to come to the fore.
