Hotmood’s most-loved disco reworks finally land on wax with a fiery selection built for soulful peak time energy.
Repress alert and a big one at that. After a strong run as a digital-only imprint, Hotmood’s Discoweey label takes its first confident step onto vinyl with Discoweey Hits Vol 1. The Mexican groove master curates four of his most in-demand reworks from recent years, each one showcasing his trademark blend of deep digging, tasteful re-editing and a warm rhythmic flow that feels instantly at home on the dancefloor.
Ya Ta Olvide opens the 12-inch with an extended cut that lets the horns breathe and the groove stretch out with real swagger. The Spanish language vocals glide through a bed of punchy bass, tight guitar chops and irresistible brass stabs. Hotmood’s light-touch approach keeps everything rooted in the original magic while giving DJs the extended structure needed for modern sets. Infectious, uplifting and heavy with funk, this is classic Hotmood territory.
Things toughen up with DDD, a sweat-laced disco-not-disco burner that leans into percussion and raw movement. The drum programming snaps with a loose New York club feel, while the groove rides on a hypnotic pulse that begs for low ceiling basements and late night heat. It is one of the most kinetic tracks on the EP and shows how confidently Hotmood shifts from soulful sparkle to darker, more muscular rhythms.
On the flip, Funk Party delivers a joyous and high-energy disco house jam. Hotmood loops and layers elements from a selection of disco and boogie era classics, including Positive Force, to create a vibrant, pumping workout. The bassline bounces with real charisma and the top end is bright without ever feeling overcooked. This one is pure party fuel and feels tailor-made for warm up to peak transition slots.
Closing the EP, D.R.E.A.M.I.N.G takes a boogie-era indie disco gem and fires it straight into peak time territory. The arrangement is tightened, the drums hit harder and the synth lines shimmer with a glossy uplift that gives the track an instant emotional pull. It is celebratory, euphoric and arguably the most explosive moment on the release.
Discoweey Hits Vol 1 is a fitting vinyl debut for the label. It highlights everything that makes Hotmood one of the most respected names in the global disco edit scene. Deeply musical, rhythmically vibrant and shaped with a selector’s intuition, this repress is guaranteed to fly.
