For his third release on Jamie Jones’ Hottrax imprint, Colombian DJ/producer Ciclo returns with ‘No Ma Mood’, a two-track package that reflects a more instinctive approach to his music. Arriving on 18th September, the Medellín-based artist has been a consistent presence in Jones’ sets since 2018, with productions that combine weighty low-end, sharp percussion, and rhythmic influences drawn from house, hip hop, and trap. That relationship continues into a significant period, with his latest release on Hottrax landing ahead of his Paradise debut at UNVRS in Ibiza; built around a simple creative idea: bringing together the elements he loves without following a formula, and letting both tracks develop from that instinct.
“As an artist, it means so much to me to be signing an EP with this incredible label for the third time. We all know how important Hottrax is within the music industry, and I’ve always felt Jamie’s love and support for my music. Since 2018, I’ve watched him play my tracks all over the world, time and time again.
When it comes to the inspiration and creative process behind this EP, I think that’s one of the most exciting parts. I brought together all the elements I love about today’s music and told myself, ‘I’m going to create something using only these elements.’ That was the approach behind both tracks. I thought about house music, the dance floor and emotion-filled breaks—you already know, just the way I like them. The most interesting part is that I called it ‘No Ma Mood’ because I felt that making music just for the sake of it – or simply following formulas – was no longer my mood. I wanted to create freely, make exactly what I loved and stay true to my own sound.” – Ciclo.
‘No Ma Mood’ opens with a muscular foundation, while crisp percussion and a rolling groove keep the track in constant motion as it builds and builds, while ‘Are You There’ takes a more spacious route, pairing a winning combination of low-end drive, funky bass licks and skippy percussion.
Ciclo ‘No Ma Mood’ drops via Hottrax on 18th September 2026.
