LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts) Part album, part mix compilation, part remix package, part crate digging expedition, HOT SINCE 82's LITTLE BLACK BOOK—due out October 22 on Moda Black/ULTRA MUSIC-invites listeners into a more personal place than ever before, as the conducting artist creates a body of work that reflects on past success while venturing into future aspirations. In conjunction with the release, Britain's fastest rising studio maven will tour North
America in October. Leading the charge is the first single "Shadows," due out
September 24.
Leading up to the release, HOT SINCE 82 will embark on a North American tour of some of the continents' hottest clubs including Output in Brooklyn, NY, Spybar in
Chicago and Sound in Los Angeles. The 13-date tour kicks off October 10 in New York City. All dates are on sale now.
LITTLE BLACK BOOK is part of a new concept series, which will play host to some of the most interesting, exciting and innovative electronic music artists. For the first series installment of LITTLE BLACK BOOK, there was only one choice-an artist whom as a key label figure, is behind some of the biggest releases on U.K. label Moda
Black and whose name was on the sleeve of its very first EP. A dynamic talent whose constantly evolving sound has gathered high profile support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Pete Tong and Seth Troxler. He is HOT SINCE 82.
In the past 12 months he has taken remixes to another level. His
Green Velvet and Shadow Child reworks have become anthems in their own right, both of which appear on LITTLE BLACK BOOK among other original productions. He's played almost every major Ibiza party, was recently awarded Essential New Tune on BBC
Radio 1 and has just been inducted into the Essential Mix Hall of Fame.
With that in mind it comes as no surprise to learn that HOT SINCE 82-Daley Padley-has truly put his heart and soul into this project, pushing his productions to a whole new level, collaborating with a collection of top-tier vocalists and refining every aspect of the mix to ensure that it tells a story never heard before. Daley also hand-picked some of his favourite artists to construct an all new remix package, which comes exclusively with the limited edition notebook version of the release. LITTLE BLACK BOOK demonstrates the versatility of HOT SINCE 82 as a producer and how multiple tracks, each with their own individual flair, can be presented as a captivating and unique sonic biography.
"Being handed the reins to produce, curate and mix the first
Little Black Book was both daunting and exciting. It's taken up a huge chunk of what is already the busiest year of my life," says HOT SINCE 82. "I've genuinely loved every minute and have relished the opportunity to work on a project so expansive. I've ventured in to new territory with tracks like 'The End' and 'Shadows' whilst stepping up a level in the direction of 'Chords' and 'Hot's Groove.' Enjoy!"
