Hot Since 82

Dazzling tech from the Yorkshireman

Hot Since 82 gets around. His passport will be taking a hammering this summer as he plays Tomorrowland in Belgium, Pacha, Space and DC10 in Ibiza, DGTL Festival in Barcelona and Flash Factory in New York. If you hadn't realised, he's pretty hard-working.

Last year was just as busy, DJing at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Annie Mac's Lost & Found and Amnesia, but that didn't put a halt to releasing music. He linked up with Alex Mills for 'The Core' on his label Knee Deep In Sound, before Truesoul put out poisonous tech wonder 'Damage'/'Veins'.

He returns to Knee Deep In Sound this summer with 'Yourself', a single he's hoping that'll take Ibiza by storm as he continues his Knee Deep In Ibiza residency at Pacha.

"I made the record in my new home studio, I’ve been spending endless days in here since I fully kitted it out," he says. "I’ve been lucky enough to have had big summer anthems in the past few years and with the launching of my 'Knee Deep In Ibiza' residency at Pacha it felt essential to have an Ibiza anthem this summer."

We reckon he might be onto a winner. It's laced with sizzling synths, an echoing vocal and delicate, massaging twangs that come together to create a proper tech dazzler.

'Yourself' is out on Knee Deep In Sound on July 22
