parisian popof releases the second single from his stunning artist album love somebody on hot creations. going back feat. arno joey is also a collaboration with animal & me with a feast of remixes on offer.

after debuting for the first time at this years we are fstvl, producers/djs mk & lee foss and singer/songwriter anabel englund have announced their first official release together as pleasure state. coming out on jamie jones and lee foss label hot creations, the group announce the highly anticipated release of ghost in the system

label head lee foss calls upon no.1 american house producer mk to collaborate on this knock out release, featuring the stunning voice of l.as anabel englund. on the flip lee goes solo to deliver two solid tracks like only he can.

lee foss >starfruit ep< is a sonic love letter to 1994 sent from the future. fresh yet unmistakably foss, each chapter is a seamless fusion of 90s rnb and low slung house grooves, amounting to his most refined and expressive solo package to date.

like two sides of the same coin, paris and los angeles share a certain savoir faire – an enthusiasm for creativity and the arts plus an innate sense of hedonistic fun. to that list you can now add another, as currently both cities are home to some of the most exciting young labels, parties and musical talent in dance music. collectives that are defining the future sound of underground music, not just in their respective cities, but across the globe

its now hard to imagine a summer that wont be sound tracked by hot natureds sleazy intergalactic funk and distinct bassline brilliance so its lucky the boys are back with forward motion – their first release for own imprint hot creations and dancefloor gold in the purest sense. disco delinquent ali love provides lead vocals

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.

after two amazing releases from jamie james and robert james, fellow label owner lee foss serves up the third hot platter. lee is one half of hot natured along with jamie jones and has previous releases on wolf + lamb and culprit. this latest release under his moniker is pure psychedelic summer disco fun! ‘u got me’ is a great four track e.p. featuring quintessential tracks tried and tested and firm favorites at the recent hot natured parties at demf, sonar and ibiza.
