ontinuing its long-standing reputation for uncovering new talent, Hot Creations welcomes Bridvog to the label for the first time with his two-track ‘Activated’ EP. Based in Dubai, he has been producing and releasing music under various aliases for several years, experimenting with synthesizers and refining a sound that he is now fully aligned with. Following his debut on Glasgow Underground alongside Kevin McKay, he now becomes the latest name to be spotlighted by Jamie Jones’ ever-attuned A&R, reinforcing the label’s role as a platform for fresh voices shaping the modern house landscape.
“The inspiration for these tracks came during one of my club performances. After seeing a strong reaction from the dancefloor, I decided to create something that added character through the sound of legendary synthesizers. Jamie messaged me to say they were a good fit for Hot Creations, and from that moment on, they meant a great deal to me. Most importantly, they confirmed that I’m moving in the right direction.” - Bridvog.
The title track ‘Activated’ sets the tone with a driving, high-energy groove built around tight percussion, rolling low-end, and hooky lead vocals, while ‘Beacon Of Light’ keeps the energy high with shuffling drums and a bumping bassline, offering two cuts made for peak-time play. The two-tracker adds to Bridvog’s young catalogue, while Hot Creations once again demonstrates its ability to identify talent, introducing another new name to the global conversation while staying true to the label’s club-driven ethos.

Joshwa makes an impactful return to Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations this December with his latest release, ‘Freaks’ - a three-track EP showcasing the high-octane, groove-charged sound that has made him one of the UK’s most exciting house exports. Marking his third appearance on the label following standout releases ‘Bass Go Boom’ and ‘Lost In Music’, both of which became essential weapons in sets from the Hot Creations head honcho and beyond, ‘Freaks’ continues Joshwa’s run of dancefloor-focused anthems that fuse playful energy with dynamic precision.
“Super happy to be back on Hot Creations with this 3-track EP. All 3 tracks have been huge moments in both mine and Jamie’s sets all summer - seeing the crowd reactions from venues like [UNVRS] has been amazing, so I’m excited to finally let these loose.” - Joshwa.
Leading the charge, ‘Freaks’ brings a hypnotic blend of infectious vocal chops, punchy percussion, and growling low-end heat built for late-night dancefloors. ‘Sweat’ follows with a raw, rolling bassline and crisp rhythmic drive, while ‘Upside Down’ closes things out with warped synths, a menacing groove that brings an abundance of energy and drive.
Now based in New York after cutting his teeth in London’s house scene, Joshwa continues his rapid ascent from self-taught bedroom producer to internationally touring DJ and tastemaker. Recognised for a sound that bridges classic house character with unmistakable modern punch, he’s become a consistent presence across global dancefloors, with releases that blur the lines between underground energy and festival-ready power. Here, he caps off an unforgettable year on an impressive high, bringing pure club energy back to Hot Creations for another standout addition to his growing catalogue.
Joshwa ‘Freaks’ EP drops via Hot Creations on 12th December 2025.
