UPFRONTBEATS

Hot Creations, co-owned by Jamie Jones and Lee Foss, is home to some of the industry’s most valuable players. Next year, Darius Syrossian will make a welcome return to the label with his heavy hitting two-parter, Moxy, following on from 2013’s Who’s The Douche’ EP.

On creating Moxy, Darius explains that he wanted ‘to make something that would stand out in a set and grab you by the scruff of the neck’.The break came out exactly how I wanted it to’..the reaction it got from the dancefloor when road testing it was great. I’m happy it’s this track that I’m making my return to the label with.’

Kicking off proceedings is Moxy. Six minutes of pure, raw, industrial bass littered with a smattering of high-hats and a break down that will leave you begging for more. The flip side serves up more peak-time goodness with Hi, It’s Me. A driving, throbbing bassline thumps over wobbling synths with a female vocal stating that she does ‘not do VIP clubs or bottle service bullshit’- a nod to the changing face of Ibiza perhaps’

Darius Syrossian has made quite the mark on the industry. He began releasing music in 2009 and his proceeding career has seen him release a slew of dancefloor hits on labels such as VIVa Music, 20/20 Vision and Get Physical Music, as well as collaborations with Steve Lawler, Josh Butler and Sidney Charles. He’s also held down residencies at some of the world’s most influential clubs and has become an essential part of the Ibizan summer seasons.
