Release date: 5th of April 
Format: Vinyl & Digital

An artist needing little introduction, having crafted a playful yet impactful sound that is entirely his own spanning house to breaks, electro and beyond, Cologne’s Kolter continues to prove exactly why he’s in such high demand as a producer and a DJ. Following his debut on Up The Stuss back in 2021, his releases since have landed via labels such as Solid Grooves, Shall Not Fade, Pilot, Berg Audio and his own Koltrax imprint, and he picks up right where he left off with a long-awaited return to Chris Stussy’s admired imprint with four cuts that have been in heavy rotation for the label boss for months. From the hooky vocal samples to the rumbling groove and vibrant bass guitar licks, title track ‘That Was Fresh’ brings the arrival of one of the German’s most requested anthems to date. Add in the helter-skelter electronics and glitchy sonics of ‘This Is It’, the breaks-driven and resonant ‘Feel’, and the hazy yet driving ‘I’m Fine, Thanks!’, and the four tracks showcase Kolter at his best as he makes a triumphant return.

If debuts are anything to go by, the return Across Boundaries on Up The Stuss is a guaranteed treat. A collaborative project born out of mutual passion and understanding between two close friends, Chris Stussy and Locklead’s joint guise has taken the house landscape by storm, and the pair are only one release into their exciting journey. Merging signature sonics with future-focused ideas, the project takes cues from its name and sees the pair bridge genres and influences to deliver a raw and impactful take on house music - something on show here with their sophomore offering, ‘Synergy’.

Created to showcase a deeper side to their diverse sound palettes and a project for the duo to express themselves differently to their own solo sets and productions, the latest five-track EP contains a kaleidoscope of sounds and textures to soundtrack moments from sunrise to sunset and beyond.

Another essential pick-up to tick off your want list.

Known for his innovative style and captivating sets, DJ/producer and Koltrax imprint boss Kolter continues to carve out a distinct sound within Germany’s thriving music scene. His expansive repertoire spans classic house, modern techno, electro, and funk, featuring releases on labels like Aus Music, PIV, and Solid Grooves, along with his recent collaboration with Luuk van Dijk, ‘Good 4 U’, on Three Six Zero, which has already amassed nearly half a million plays on Spotify. Fresh off his BBC Radio 1-backed ‘15 Seconds Of Fame’, he now adds another prestigious label to his roster and steps out on Hot Creations for the first time with ‘Red Alert’, unleashing a triple offering of high-energy rhythms. 

Both vintage and futuristic, ‘Red Alert’ is a punchy blend of electro and old-school house with cutting off-kilter additions. The playful sample-led ‘She Wants Bass’ follows up next, maintaining pace with kicking hi-hats anchored to a grooving, head-bopping bassline. Closing out the punchy EP with a track that’s sure to take over, ‘I Can Fix’, reworks an infamous classic into a fiery modern melody stamped with Kolter’s infamous style. 

Kolter’s ‘Red Alert’ EP lands via Hot Creations on the 22nd November 2024.
