Jamie Jones, a renowned DJ, producer, label head of seminal imprint Hot Creations, and member of the multi-genre band Hot Natured, launches a new imprint Paradise.
Jamie Jones is still at the top of his game, working relentlessly to ignite dance floors around the globe and promote house and techno gospel. He is one of the most regarded musicians in his business thanks to his approachable nature, unrelenting drive, and undying dedication to the music, establishing a legacy of positive vibes along the way. Paradise looks set to highlight Jones’ early musical influences and the music behind the party’s roots while revealing a glimpse into its future with records made for iconic moments, building on the lauded success of the brand’s iconic Ibiza events at DC10 and Amnesia, as well as shows throughout the world and during Miami Music Week, ADE, and Sonar OFF Week.
People sometimes ask me why I called the Paradise parties, Paradise… Well, it was named after the Paradise Garage. I’ve always dreamt of what it would be like to attend one of Larry Levan’s famous parties. And when the opportunity to do a party in Ibiza came along, I envisioned an eclectic, colourful party as the morning sun came up filled with different types of people. No one caring about anything except for the unity, the vibe, and the journey of the music. With Paradise records, I wanted to go back to the original vision and release records that can be played in those special moments when the vibe is thick, and the energy is right.

Dateless, a rising star from the US, debuts with his first single, ‘Geekin’, following releases via Jones’ own Hot Creations and Hottrax imprints alongside Solid Grooves, VIVa, Saved, and his own label Thanks For Sending, as he unveils the vibrant sounds of ‘Geekin’. It is a funk-fueled track that combines resonant bass licks, shuffling organic rhythms, and trademark hooky vocals. It reveals a mashup of current and vintage house and disco elements, conjuring images of sun-drenched terraces and busy dance floors.
Geekin’ (my story in a nutshell, if you will) comes from the feeling of necessity. I found myself unmoved by the general house scene, so I started listening closer than ever to the house music that still moved me. One of the artists that helped elevate my craft at the time was Toman; maybe we’ll be friends after this. What do you think, Toman!? Haha. I’m sure those who know me can feel my personality come out in this record. Whatchu know ‘bout this? Huh!”
