Review: The Hot Cakes Banner has been flying high above a number of solid releases across 2023, with this latest, high energy excursion being one and the same as Firestar Soundsystem delivering four rib cage-rattling rollers. We open up with 'Gun slinger', a choppy groove, that slides through a rave-inducing collection breaks and catchy vocal displays, before the reesey switchups and bulbous drum shuffles of 'Hear The Drummer' join the party. Next, the calming, synth-driven sweeps of 'Another Girl' give us a more UKG-centric feel, with Mister Subwoofer's remix then giving us a very tasty alternative version, focussing on moody LFO grinds and utilising that lead melody to the fullest. Awesome work!

Review: Next up, we jump into a dancefloor-inspired collection from the Hot Cakes crew, who have continued to unleash some seriously high powered releases over the last few months, with Ance. being the latest to provide the goods. We open up with the breaks-inspired chops and warbling LFO taps of 'Tonight', with the choppy, euphoric vocal sweeps of 'Desire' and otherworldly pad shimmers of 'Release Me' then providing additional splashes of colour. Finally, we then explore the slower-paced rhythms of 'Couldn't Stay', a gradual coolant for the rest of the EP which tidies everything up with its smooth sublow action and trickling synthetic pops above. Nice!

Review: As is to be expected with the ever-ready Hot Cakes collective, we here see them introduce yet another party starting collection, as Borai throws on his raving boots for another fiery four track display. Opening up with the high energy synth stabs and steadily warbling backdrops of 'Go Go GO!', we see the EP set pace quickly, being followed up by the more breaks-inspired industrial slams of 'Oh No' for an immediate sense of contrast. From here, 'Call Me Up' then arrives to soften the mood slightly, tying together swirling synth pads and euphoric vocal stabs, with the high energy drum skips and string-like synth sweeps of 'Reach Out' giving us that final dash of energy to see things out in style.

Review: Hot Cakes are known for fusing the more abstract areas of bass and breaks, a theme which they stick to with this latest scorcher from Deekline, Lucent and Navigator. The A-side 'Whine Up' is a perfect fusion of junglist-style breaks and gnarly bass influences, with Navigator's instantly noticeable vocal presence adding some singalong flavour to Deekline & Lucent's system-busting instrumental below. From here, 'The Place Is On Fire' takes us down a much more stripped back avenue, with punchy drum processing, catchy vocal slicing and a lethal bassline all playing their part! Wicked stuff.

Review: As two of the most popular and versatile producers currently working in and around the realms of UK bass music, it's an absolute pleasure to see two powerhouses in Deekline and Fish team up for a hard hitting creation on Hot Cakes. In all honesty 'Sugar & Spice' isn't what you would particularly expect from either producer, but works so well it's untrue, from the hardcore influenced vocal slices, to the well designed breakbeat sampling and the luscious harmonic structure of the whole piece. Keep an eye out for an unexpected switch up however, as both Deekline and Fish work well to keep us on our toes.

Review: Hot Cakes are back and ready to join the party as they here employ an energetic collaboration between Martin Flex and Rico Tubbs by the name of 'Jumpin'. Through smooth chord progressions leading to expansive breaksy drops, we unearth something very special as reesey tones and sharp rhythms provide the perfect base for Feral Is Kinky to run wild with a hyped vocal appearances. This release also comes with an official remix from underground legend Deekline, who sends it to the breakbeat workshop for an incredible rework, driven by shimmering leads and expertly crafted breaks.

Review: The Hot Cakes rampage continues here as they employ the services of Future Flex for an explosive new single by the name of 'Power Moves'. It proves to be pure rave dynamite as colourful electronic synth leads smash away above crisply processed 4x4 kick snare combos whilst being drizzled with expertly timed vocal slices and expansive horn bridges. This one also comes complete with a VIP mix, twisting the track up yet another level.

Review: After a brief break, Deekline returns to the well renowned Hot Cakes imprint, this time accompanied by Specimen A for a boisterous four tracker. Right out the gate on the title track 'Run Da Riddim' we are treated to a bag of explosive bass oscillations, later to be coupled with highly energized electro elements. From here 'Lift Me Up' draws a combo of fidget and deep house arrangement themes, whilst 'I Believed' delves down a more breakbeat inspired avenue. The EP then rounds of in style with 'Like This' which is a weighty electronic roller, playing host to MC PSG's skippy vocal presence

Review: The Hot Cakes label is dishing out nothing but stone-cold classics as of late, and this latest coup from Bradley Drop, Proxxy and DJ Lantern is another small step towards their total domination of the nu-school breakbeat space! "Music Takes Control" is the only track residing on this effective little EP, but it's got enough vibes in it to see the entire night through; kicking off with lush progressive house chords, the tune develops into a fine-ass breaks bombshell filled with soul and funk throughout its entire arrangement - a big tune for the big-room deejay.

Review: Bass hero Deekline is back with more dancefloor ammo courtesy of the raucous "Flute Ting" on his Hot Cakes label. It's a beast of a thing with eccentric Asian flutes samples getting freaky with stark ghetto bass rhythms, crazy breakdowns and hypey vocals from RTKAL. If that doesn't satisfy, Tim Healey unites with Atomic Drop to provide a blistering fidget house rework (is it too early for a revival?). Boss sounds.

601 vs Deep Impact
Review: Here we get taken all the way to Miami (musically at least) by the Hot Cakes crew, courtesy of 601 vs Deep Impact. "Going Out" is pure Miami bass attack - all laser ghetto beats and electro snap. The addition of trancey synth riffs only adds to the good vibes. Back up track "Raggamuffin" meanwhile, is tough big breaks and a fatneck wobble bass attack. Throw in some 4 x 4 thump and you're quids in!

Review: Canada's self-proclaimed puryevors of 'strange sexy music', Peep This, are a duo that pushes definitions of bass to their limits. Here they drop their second release for the Hot Cakes imprint, a one-track attack dubbed "Shakti". The label was utterly bowled over when it heard this futuristic laser-funk jam - inflected with lighters-in-the-air Asian melodies and breakdowns - and you will be too. It's a truly immense production and no festival will be safe from this bomb!

Review: The Hot Cakes label love to arrange trans Atlantic collaborations and this, their latest, is possibly their best yet. Canadian festival bass heroes, Smalltown DJs have paired up with the UK's Nicholas Annand (aka Deekline) for one-off track, "All Your Soul". The results are pretty arresting with the track mixing upfront break-step riddims, chugging bass and the mesmerising vocals of Erica Dee. Tough, melodic, breaky pop at its best

Review: Well known for leaving festivals in their native Canada in tatters, Smalltown DJs have called in extra artillery for their latest festival-friendly assault, the Bout To Go Down EP. Not that their productions don't work in a club, of course they do, but their energy is so epic that a roof couldn't' contain them! The title track is only three and a bit minutes long but it packs some serious punch, switching between 4 x 4 jabs and breaky fills and breakdowns. On the digital flip, "Complete Madness", is a sleeker, sleazier, late night bass/house hybrid. Hype!

Review: Breakbeat merchants Hot Cakes next present Spain's Kuplay, who is back with "Bass Addict" a dark, electro inspired, low end assault with looped monster vocals and sinister futurist atmosphere. Fierce stuff indeed! Next up "Miami Bass" does exactly what it says on the tin; a possible homage to legends of Miami from the '80s like Dynamix II. Fans of the work of UK legend J. Saul Kane equally will find this release appealing, as it crosses over from breakbeat and electro in similar fashion.

Review: Dearly beloved, we are here today to give thanks to the mighty lord bass and her perennial disciple Hot Cakes for this sermon of devout sickness. Blessed with spikiness of canonical electro, sanctified with the pace of classic breakbeat and consecrated with biblical riff dynamics, "Will B Fun" is a straight-up heavyweight hymn designed to hurt. Old Testament style. Hallowed by thy name.

Review: Spain's Rob Yospeed is a fun lovin' guy who compares his music to Super Mario Brothers. When he's not playing video games or eating his beloved fajitas, he also makes music. Here he rustles up three more party bangers for the folk at Hot Cakes. First up is "Bass In Your Face", a collaboration with Wahuu that sees the pair deliver some tough bass bumps, heavy breaks and plenty of attitude. "Twisted" meanwhile adds some EDM-ish builds to some classic funky drummer shizzle, something that's explored even further in the electro-bounce of "I'm Not Dead". Impressive.
