What started as a side project has now turned into one of the biggest things in house music. Jamie Jones and Lee Foss started putting out tracks together as Hot Natured back in 2009 and as fate would have it, their brand of pop-centric house found its way to dancefloor's across the globe and even broke the UK Top 40 charts ("Benediction"). Fast forward to 2013 and the group (now expanded to include vocalist Ali Love and Luca C) has dropped their first proper debut full length, Different Sides Of The Sun, a massive triple LP set of dancefloor bombs. The combination of Jones and Foss' deep and groovy production has proven itself time and time again, plus paired with Ali's soulful and seductive vocals, it's the sureshot. Includes previously released bangers like "Forward Motion," "Benediction," and "Reverse Skydiving" with Anabel Englund, plus a gang of new material including "Isis" with Egyptian Lover, "Alternate State" with Roisin Murphy, "People Change" with SYF, "Physical Control" and many more. 15 tracks to get 'em out on the floor and keep 'em there! Triple 12" vinyl, housed in pic sleeve. Recommended.
