Hot Natured are of course, Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Ali Love and Luca C, a fearsome quartet in terms of their presence in the Deep House scene and I’m glad to say it’s a strong effort from the four.
“Different Sides” is a slow, slightly morbid affair, tapping into a late night woozy feel – think more 6am sun rising than 2am Nicky Romero smashing holes in your ear drums. Signed via Warner, it’s a slow seller and whether it penetrates mainstream conciousness is another questions but there’s no doubt you could do worse than sticking the album on and kicking back.

What’s not to like about thick, twinkling rhodes and yearning vocals like these? From their third album “Holy Fire” released in 2012 which reached number 2 in the UK, a strong set that established them as one of the main indie rock bands still to resonate in the UK alongside the likes of the Maccabees.
