Hot Creations continues its hot start to 2026 with the release of ‘Sweat’, a collaborative drop from in-demand rising talents Locky and Mad.Again, bringing together two distinct voices shaped by London’s underground. Drawing from years spent on the city’s dancefloors and in its DJ booths, the track captures a shared focus on groove, pressure, and functional club energy. Delivering punchy, driving drums, weighty bass, and tightly coiled grooves designed for peak-time floors, it’s a collaboration that feels rooted, purposeful, and built for the club.
“Hot Creations has been one of the few labels that has stayed at the forefront of dance music when I got into it as a raver, right up to now as a DJ/Producer. Big thanks to Jamie & the team for the belief & support in our tune.” – LOCKY
“The record came together at Star Lane Studios with Locky after I started messing around and recording some silly noises on my iPhone. We finished the track pretty quickly, and as soon as we heard it back, we knew it had something special. It started to gain support from Jamie Jones, Rossi, and Josh Baker, and soon after, our socials began to blow up. We couldn’t have asked for a better home for the record, from partying at DC10 Paradise in 2016 to releasing on Hot Creations in 2026, this is a real dream come true.” – MAD.AGAIN
A surging name within the UK house landscape, Locky’s sound has been forged through deep immersion in the capital’s nightlife, translating influences from house and garage into productions that balance heritage with forward motion. Since breaking through with releases on Beeyou, neXup and UVAR, he has grown into an in-demand selector, taking his sound from fabric and 93 Feet East to dancefloors across Europe, Australia and beyond. East London’s Mad.Again approaches things from a neighboring angle, blending breakbeat, electro, and 90s-leaning house touches into a rhythm-first style that has quickly gained traction. With releases on his Club Kennel imprint and support from names including Jamie Jones, tINI, and Enzo Siragusa, his profile has been steadily rising as another of London’s exciting new wave.
