Another producer to rant on about this post, and yet another one who's sound is difficult to lump into one specific category, fusing a whole host of influences from a plethora of scenes to create something that sounds incredibly fresh.
Hot City is another producer to have emerged from the huge melting pot that is London 2010, and in what seems to be becoming a more popular trait, is a producer with a sense of mystery around him. In theory, Hot City essentially makes House Music, but there is so much more going on with his sound its difficult to tie him down in that genre.
One immediately noticeable production trait of Hot City is the exquisiteness of his vocal cut's that he uses, at times employing them along with his incredibly catchy synth lines to create what sounds like the perfect merging of jackin Chicago House, skippy 2-Step & Garage and mad as you like Old Skool Rave, whilst keeping a close tie to the post Dubstep movement, all done with a sprinkling of that most vital ingredient, fun (there's even a track which has what sounds suspiciously like a Donk in it!).
Its a really hard sound to explain without sounding too much like a rambling tit, so your best off just listening to the stunning mix Hot City did recently for the XLR8R Podcast, packed full of fresh exclusives. Be careful listening to it in public though, it took all my strength to stop myself jumping up and dancing like a tit whilst listening to it on the bus the other day.
