Chris Lorenzo and aMo (um) bring you their highly anticipated, sensational new single HOTS 4 U, available on tszr (Three Six Zero Recordings) from 1st May. This is the 100th release on tszr and to celebrate, you can get your hands on a very special commemorative 12” Vinyl copy, backed with the exclusive B-Side Close Your Eyes, which you won’t hear anywhere else. DJ support has been incredible with HOTS 4 U already one of the tracks of the season, played by Peggy Gou, Eats Everything, Prospa & Josh Baker, Chris Lake, Dom Dolla, Michael Bibi, Mau P and Jamie Jones, amongst many others, across such leading stages worldwide as Coachella, Miami Music Week, and Green Valley Brazil.
tszr have had an impressive 12 months, including entering Beatport’s Top 10 best selling labels, a Radio 1 Dance Award nomination for Label Of The Year, shutdown label parties at ADE & Miami Music Week, and are now Beatport’s Label of the Month for April.
Birmingham’s House & Bass pioneer Chris Lorenzo needs no introduction. Hits such as California Dreaming (with High Jinx), Appetite (on FISHER’s Catch & Release label) and Rhymes (with Hannah Wants) speak for themselves. He has been friends with fellow Brummie aMo (um) for over 20 years. aMo (um) knows his beats. Starting as a drummer, he switched to turntables, managing to seamlessly blend the complex beats of 90s techno, rave and jungle into minimal and tech house. Last year’s hit High in Ibiza was sublime. Two great friends at the top of their game.
HOTS 4 U starts like a cat scampering off a mat, with car-chase hi-hats and machine gun snares, before a filthy bassline kicks in. Then THAT sample of TZ’s I Got the Hots for You made legendary by its use in Theme from S-Express, followed by a belting vocal over the b-section,sampled from Chaka Khan’s Never Miss The Water. Chris Lorenzo and aMo (um) take these samples, add a liberal sprinkling of acid, then bat it out of the park. Wonderful stuff. Chris Lorenzo played on tszr‘s packed Miami Music Week party in a 4 hour B2B with Skream where HOTS 4 U earned a really warm reception from the crowd.
Chris Lorenzo: “This is a record born out of 20 years of friendship. When I first moved out at 18, aMo (um) was my first housemate. Over the years, we have always had the same musical tastes. We’ve been to countless raves, shopped for records at HTFR and Tempest in Birmingham and our love for drum & bass, garage, house, hip hop, reggae can all be summed up in this record. Really happy to be finally releasing this one.”
aMo (um): “Two decades of friendship laid the foundation for this moment. From the day we met, our shared passion for music just clicked shaped through years of living together, endless listening sessions, parties, record digging, and even the occasional slaps to the head over a mixing mistake. I couldn’t be more excited to release this alongside someone who’s not just a friend, but family on tszr.”
