UPFRONTBEATS

Making his debut on the label, Spanish producer Kuo Climax is welcomed to the Hot Creations fold. A solid two track release that has already been heating up dancefloors across the globe, the talented artist showcases his distinct style and proves why he is hotly tipped for 2018.

The EP opens up with Whyte, a pulsating track with a warped bassline and oozing synths. Two and a half minutes deep it disperses into a breakbeat-esque breakdown that dives back into the familiar 4/4 beat. Title track Nacrem is a smooth roller with an underpinning bass and intergalactic vocal stabs. The EP highlights the Spanish producer’s ability to bring balance to his output, providing music perfectly attuned for the floor.

Of the EP, Kuo says that ‘it’s a musical response to big personal changes in my life. This period lasted 8 months at a house lost in the mountains of Malaga. Inspired by a woman, and seaking to find stability between the music I listen to daily and the need to offer fresh tracks for this scene’.

Born in Malaga and now residing in Barcelona, Kuo Climax has released on respected labels such as Emerald City, Knee Deep In Sound, Solid Grooves and VIVa MUSiC. 2018 will see the producer launch his own vinyl-only imprint, LFOFL, that aims to recognise the progress in technology without losing the essence of true dance music.
