KOKO Electronic: Hot Since 82

A British house producer and DJ from South Yorkshire, Hot Since 82 returns to KOKO's Theatre for a night built around the melodic side of a catalogue released under this name since 2011.

Hot Since 82 is the name under which a British DJ and house producer from South Yorkshire has released music since 2011. The early work emerged from the Leeds scene, with tracks such as 'Let It Ride'and 'Knee Deep'. The sound has since moved between deep house, melodic house and leaner club records.

The productions have appeared on Knee Deep In Sound, Defected and Crosstown Rebels, and the producer has also written collaborations and remixes for Rudimental, Jamie Jones, Miss Monique and CamelPhat. DJ bookings have taken in Ibiza venues including Pacha, Amnesia and DC-10, and festival stages such as Coachella, Glastonbury, Tomorrowland and Creamfields. Knee Deep In Sound, the label associated with the early releases, has also championed a younger generation of house and techno artists.

This is a return to KOKO, where the act has played before. The night draws on the deeper, melodic strand of the back catalogue, and takes place in the Theatre at KOKO, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows.
