When international DJ/producer Sam Blacky and the dynamic duo Local Singles join forces, the result is bound to be extraordinary. Their latest release, "Hotsteppa," out now on Spinnin’ Deep, is a masterful blend of Tribal, Afro House, and old-school House vibes that promises to dominate dancefloors worldwide.
“Hotsteppa” takes listeners on a euphoric journey with its rhythmic beats, tribal percussion, and deep bass undertones, enhanced by entrancing vocals that transport you straight to a sunrise set in the jungle or desert. The track’s mystique and groove have already earned it early support from heavyweights like Diplo and Francis Mercier at Burning Man and Tom & Collins in Tulum.
The Inspiration Behind "Hotsteppa"
This collaboration stems from a serendipitous moment when Blacky and Local Singles narrowly missed running into each other during Keinemusik’s set at Brooklyn Mirage. That near-encounter led to a shared desire to channel their love of Tribal and Afro House into a track that encapsulates the genre’s global appeal. From concept to execution, “Hotsteppa” was a labor of love that took over a year to perfect, finding its ultimate home on Spinnin’ Deep.
