Cream

Production unit Hot City have been busy – remixes for Hot Chip, The Count and Sinden…tracks on the new Herve ghetto bass compilation, and Fabric compilation.. a recent 12″ on Highpoint Lowlife that was played by Annie Mac, Kissy Sellout, A Trak, Toddla T and Sinden. Their old skool garage mix for Fact magazine was stupidly popular. Their incendiary DJ sets around the country got the blogs in overdrive. Moshi Moshi (The Drums, Florence and the Machine, Kate Nash) will release the debut artist album which is due this September.

Today however, they deliver first single ‘Another Girl’ – a bass heavy dancefloor record, showcasing the signature Hot City sound that’s all messed up stabs and clipped vocals. File Hot City records wherever you like. Call them rave revivalists or put them next to the newest convergent sounds of post-dubstep and UK funky. They’re just as happy playing next to garage legends Ramsay & Fen as next to the intricate dubstep scientists Spatial (who have released Hot City tunes on their much-respected Infrasonics label), and their tunes will mix into Todd Terry or Cooly G, Basement Jaxx or Brackles, 2 Bad Mice or – if you’re that way inclined – 2 Unlimited. It all flows to and from the same place: the dancefloor. As the old voice echoing through the years says, “house is a feeling” – well Hot City is a feeling too, and when that feeling hits, you’ll know it and you’ll want to track down the source.

Hot City play for Cream Ibiza @ Amnesia on Thursday 1st July
