After Bonobo undisputedly set the standards muchos high, for his Essential Mix on April 19th, I was super interested to see what Hot Natured had to offer.
Lee Foss, Jamie Jones, Luca C and Ali Love are the brains behind what is known as, “Hot Natured.” You may remember British Ali Love, from such gems as “Infinity” (props to Pitbull and Flo Rida for metaphorically shitting all over than one) and “Isis – Magic Carpet Ride.” Welsh Jamie Jones, head of the label, Hot Creations, is a god in the industry. You can always count of great tunes under the search, “Hot Creations,” when Beatport loitering. Their song, “Benediction” was the track of summer 2012. Reports say quiet whispers of the melody were still heard throughout the chills of winter 2013. This year, the track was revived ever-so-awesomely by Lxury – listen here.
Yesterday, Hot Natured absolutely man handled the turn tables for their Essential Mix:
They combined Andre 3000 with mad house vibes, for what I call an afternoon very well spent. This essential mix features curve-ball yet beautiful tracks from Moodyman, Todd Terje and… Outkast? Surprisingly, the mix is far form inundated with their own music. In an attempt to ID the Pharrell edit of Happy, I was confused as it sounds like…. the original? What games are you playing with me Hot natured?! Many of the ID’s are still yet to be identified…challenge accepted? GOODLUCK, and enjoy the mix.
