"Slide Back" showed up in our friday scan on 14 august 2026, an Outcross Records single we had never heard from an artist we did not follow. by the end of the day it was track of the week in issue 003, over everything actually new that friday. we wrote it plainly: heard it, went down the rabbit hole, started following. the next morning he gave our story a mention 🤝

the rabbit hole goes back further than most. his Outcross catalog starts in 2008 with "Community Funk" and "The Active Touch EP", and the label has been his home base ever since, his resident advisor profile points straight at the outcross site and his instagram bio leads with it. eighteen years on he is still shipping there, five outcross singles this summer alone.

Outcross Records / Hot Creations. DJ / Music Producer. British & International Music Award Recipient.

his own instagram bio, read 15 august 2026

the record everyone knows is "Something Special", hot creations, © 2012. it is still his top spotify track today, fourteen years later, which is the kind of staying power most club records never see. "Baby I Got It" landed on hot creations in september 2011, the era that put him on the map, and jamie jones's label is still the second name in his own bio.

the dj pedigree matches the catalog. first resident advisor event in 2008, most played rooms include sankeys ibiza, and he mixed VIVa Warriors Season 3 with Anek in 2014. london, ibiza, manchester, leeds and paris are his most played cities per RA. next up is forward motion at UNO malta on 24 september 2026, a bill that also carries Dusky, Infinity Ink and wAFF.

and the crate keeps moving: beatport already lists "Turbo Riot" for 28 august and "Get Down" for 11 september, both outcross. the disco end of house is in good hands 🧃
