Hot Waves Sampler Vol. 4 (LP)
Various Artists
Amoeba Review
Matthew McDermott 02/04/2013
A sampler of Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations label culled from the cd comp - Hot Creations can be taken as a bellwether for house music that’s smart enough to court the underground but too popular and accessible to truly live there. The first two tracks juxtapose off-kilter bass lines and foggy production with spacy vocal samples before dropping into that near-signature “Hot Creations” house roller style. Filthy Rich “Do It Again” is a 90s-throwback that could fit on Local Talk, the Feel My Bicep blog and most current dancefloors. Jamie Jones’ remix of Alexis Raphael’s “Rave” is a prime 1 am track - Jones’ exhausting tour schedule making this setting second nature by this point. Human Life & Annabel Englund present electropop with a convincing hook with the excellent “Falling”. A sampler in every sense of the word, at least four related styles are explored on this record - Jones’ talent for finding new talent that feels aesthetically consistent is notable.
