Theres been quite a bit of buzz recently regarding the mysterious Hot City, 2 step/uk funky and house revivalist, theres a definite sway towards Hot City’s sound. Its not hard to see why. Merging these classic influences over something a bit more grimey looks to be the way forward after the recent resurgence in filter and acid. Listen carefully you can hear Chicago House and a bit of Detroit tech all coming together, to create something a bit more original than the usual dancefloor fodder, yet staying true to its roots. Definitely one to watch for.
Crookers – No Security (Hot City Remix)

Dan Black – Symphonies (Hot City Remix)
The Funktuary – Wip Electric (Hot City Remix)
Ali Love, on the other hand, takes on the more funky inspired Depeche Mode or a moodily dirty Prince and turns it into a darker disco inspired pop moment. Lush vocals over vintage synth soaked beats make this one for the lovers. Like a soundtrack from eightees film Cocktail, you can practically feel the neon glow. Genius
