Kapuchon, Miss Monique, GLZ 'Hot Sauce' on AETERNA Records

'Hot Sauce' is a new, chugging cut with a weighty bassline and a tempo that stays in the room, never rushing. Its percussion sits neatly between tight and loose, and the mix favours harmony: the melodic elements are pushed forward, the highs held down so the track never feels brittle, while the drums do not crowd the arrangement. It is the kind of record that works in the early hours, when the floor has loosened up but the night is not done.

Since landing on 1 May via AETERNA Records, the single has picked up admirers. Miss Monique was the first to chart it, placing it at the top of her playlist on 11 May; Goodboys followed on 12 May, putting it second in LINKED; and Lost Frequencies, who has become a consistent supporter of the record, placed it ninth in his Found Frequencies chart on 14 May.

It has arrived in the opening weeks of the Ibiza season, where such records get their strongest test. The parties are settling in, the line-ups are taking shape, and 'Hot Sauce' is one of the records making the rounds in the right places.
