Having finally been able to return to his rightful place, spinning bangers in front of thousands of ravers at festivals up and down the country, Hot Creations boss Jamie Jones is closing out the summer with a trio of bassy house jams by way of the Handy Work EP.
Ahead of the new collection’s release tomorrow, September 24, Jones is lifting the lid on the title track, a rumbling uptempo joint that’s best suited to the small hours of the morning. Its bone-rattling low end is the star of the show here, but it’s packed with enough funk to keep the energy levels up until sunrise.
Speaking on how the track came together, Jones explained: “‘Handy Work’ came about at the end of a studio session after working for hours on another song, I had a little jam playing with some classic diva samples I’d found. I always loved this sample used by the legend Junior Vasquez in 1994. I literally made the first version in about an hour, and when I played it out I knew I had something, the crowd reaction was killer. This track is a simple party anthem, to welcome back the parties!”
