I fail to see how this needs a new label and couldn't just get released on Hot Creations itself...?

Probably trying to make a statement after all the shit he got from Benediction charting in the Top 40 and whatnot jajajaja.

- Why be the mastermind of chart topping label when you have the potential to be that of two?
The sky's the limit.
Props to him and his team's success...

Maybe becouse he is planning on letting more unknown artists release over this label, and Hot Creations is more saturated with already known and grown artists upcoming releases. like Crosstown Rebels and its sublabel don´t remember the name its the one with the lionhead.

I think people forget JJ was a pretty rad 'underground' DJ before he started getting into the funky house stuff. Good luck to him.

I don't forget that, I want that Jamie back. I still love Panic, 911, Knee Deep In Chic and Amazon. I really wanted this EP to be good but it is just half finished tracky stuff with overused Jamie Jones sounds.

Exactly - this is nothing new (or interesting) and its a real shame as JJ is obviously a talented producer.

Jesus, i was taking the piss. Amazon is still an awesome record and Mr Jones knows his way around a bass-line, but do we need another HC related label? No we don't. Hot Waves has already released music by relatively unknown artists, and another label smacks a bit of overkill. Anyway - I ain't hatin', I'm just statin' - which is what an open forum is all about, unless I've stumbled onto the Daily Mail forum in error.

Failing to see the difference here. It's more likely to drive him either further from the underground and the music heads given the inaccurate and poor PR behind it. The label/release artwork even has the same logo. Is it just a PR stunt?

Agree that it's a shame. At the moment he's so far removed from what he could've been that I can't see a way back. One thing he certainly never will be ever again, is underground. Which makes the label irrelevant from the start. But is anybody worthy actually listening to his music anymore anyway?

Want to go more underground? It might be an idea to get your ear a bit closer to the ground first.

Maybe it was the break up with Scarlett Etienne that made him lose his mojo.

Don't forget his first Transitions guestmix, or his RebelPod from Watergate. Jones used to be a different animal altogether, a real shame to hear some of the shite he's peddling these days.


the idea of trying to be cool and underground by using the word 'trax' needs to stop. it worked in the 90s and that's the only time it will

Don't see why this couldn't fit in with Hot Creations, but it still sounds dope!
