HOT JAMS VOLUME 1

TRACK LISTING A1. Linger A2. Work A3. Work (Accapella) B1. What You Want B2. Cherry Soda DESCRIPTION When Scottish producer Austin Ato landed on Classic Music Company with glorious two-tracker ˜Linger™ and ˜Work™ in summer ™21 he delivered an EP fitting for the world™s return to the dancefloor. Now the two red-hot cuts are committed to wax alongside previously unheard releases from Austin. The A-Side kicks off with ˜Linger™, a pure gospel piano house cut with live, urgent keys and a soulful vocal from acclaimed Atlanta singer/songwriter Niles Mason. Teaming up for the second time with Classic alumnae Dave Giles II (Dave + Sam) on ˜Work™ for the second track, 129BPM of bouncing metallic percussion wraps around a tight groove, with Dave™s captivating talents as an MC and lyricist narrating over the techno-leaning release, before Dave™s essential Acapella closes out the A-Side. On the flip Austin delivers the unreleased heat, as the relentless funk of ˜What You Want™ with its elastic bassline and acidic synth stabs opening the B-Side. Finally, the bumping groove ˜Cherry Soda™ closes out the package, immaculately composed with warm chords, a crackling vocal and chunky bass coming together with power and purpose. Cementing Austin™s position as a must-know producer for discerning selectors, ˜Hot Jams Volume 1™ is a record box essential ready to set dancefloors alight.
