Ilario Alicante’s label presents a ten-track compilation with familiar names and debutants.

Since its launch in 2024, Ilario Alicante’s Sound D’Elite has fast earned recognition as a hub for both established and rising voices in the underground scene. As part of Sound D’Elite’s mission to celebrate global dance music culture, the label now unveils its first Various Artists compilation, ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’ — the inaugural chapter of a brand-new VA series, timed to coincide with Sonar 2025 festival.
Bringing together a selection of trusted contributors and fresh arrivals, the ten-track compilation captures the essence of Sound D’Elite’s forward-thinking approach, with London’s Antss kicks things oﬀ with ‘Can’t Right Now’, delivering a relentless groove packed with energy and bounce. Spanish duo The BeatBoy’s take a darker turn on ‘Closer’, blending moody atmospheres and rolling percussion. Italy’s White Oﬀ brings a rumbling low-end pressure on ‘All Ma Ladies’,
primed for late-night floors.
Making his debut appearance on Sound D’Elite, Justin Rabin experiments with glitchy textures and playful vocal chops in ‘Handle This’, while returning favourites BizZa, GruuvElement’s, and Artslaves, deliver their trademark punch and precision. Vanny Granata, and Piero Acinapura, bring their own distinct flavours, ranging from crisp, techy rhythms to stripped-back funk. Closing out the compilation, Antonello Camboni and Stefano Crabuzza join forces on ‘About Music’, merging their individual styles into a deeply grooving dancefloor tool.
With ‘Elite Gathering Vol.1 (Sonar 2025 Edition)’, the label sets the tone for what promises to be a forward-thinking series—one that captures the energy of the scene’s landmark events while continuing to champion innovative artists from across the globe

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.

Birmingham’s Fleur Shore joins Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations imprint for the very first time with ‘Bret (Heads Down)’, a dynamic two-track EP that further cements her reputation as one of electronic music’s standout rising voices. Tipped early as one of the scene’s brightest talents, and having established herself as a BBC Radio 1 favourite thanks to a standout Essential Mix and her own BBC R1 Residency, Fleur’s arrival on Hot Creations feels like a natural next step, building on her acclaimed 2024 debut on sister label Paradise and regular appearances at the brand’s globally-renowned events. 

A nod to the iconic Amsterdam venue BRET, the title track ‘Bret (Heads Down)’ is a heads-down, groove-forward roller engineered for big moments. Crisp drums and subtle bass movements carry the track through a trippy, late-hours atmosphere, focusing on stripped-back tension and dancefloor hypnosis. On the B-side, ‘You Don’t Understand’ keeps the energy simmering with an all-action blend of vibrant vocal samples, heavy-hitting percussion and woozy old-school organ stabs, balancing attitude with atmosphere in Fleur’s unmistakable UK-influenced style. 

The release lands as Fleur continues her ascent through the global house circuit, following high-profile releases on labels like Cecille, Edible, and her own Undergrowth imprint, plus a non-stop touring that’s seen her recently land at Kappa Futur to Jones’ own Paradise In The City in London. With ‘Bret (Heads Down)’, Fleur Shore adds her own chapter to the Hot Creations story, bringing her distinctively deep and slinky sound to one of dance music’s most influential labels. 

Fleur Shore ‘Bret (Heads Down)’ drops via Hot Creations on 15th August 2025.

For fifteen years, Hot Creations has been the beating heart of house and electronic music culture; a label that has defined a sound, shaped a community, and launched careers that now dominate dancefloors across the globe. From its inception, co-founders Jamie Jones and Lee Foss envisioned more than a record label. They created a platform where the pulse of underground music could thrive, where innovation and groove collide, and where both emerging talents and established icons could find a home. And at the center of it all, guiding the label’s sound, nurturing its community, and continuing its evolution, Jamie’s magnetic presence has seen him flourish as a DJ and producer at the top of his game. 

His latest single, ‘Murder Mystery’, is Jamie in full command of that legacy. His first solo release on Hot Creations since 2022’s ‘Bionic Boy’ EP, it’s a track designed to move, mesmerize, and captivate with every listen. Rolling basslines, intricate percussion, and a subtle tension pulse beneath the playful surface, making it a record built for late nights, festival main stages, and intimate spaces alike. It’s a statement of intent, and a reminder of why Jamie’s groove-driven productions continue to set the standard for house music worldwide. 

Adding to weekly Hot Creations takeovers in the UNVRS Bunker throughout the Ibiza season, the release is framed by an extraordinary run of events across the 15th Anniversary year, with Paradise shows in parallel, such as the Ibiza Closing Party, Warehouse Project, and ADE, as well as headline US dates in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. 

With ‘Murder Mystery’, Jamie Jones delivers more than a track. It is the culmination of a moment: the merging of both joint and collective visions, the continuation of a hot streak following his recent collaboration with Nicole Moudaber on the label, and a celebration of fifteen years of Hot Creations shaping the sound and spirit of house music globally. This is Hot Creations at its most alive, at its most vibrant, and Jamie at his creative best.
