VA — Hot Digits: Year Seven (2021)

Unlike many of its rivals, Fingerman\’s Hot Digits label doesn\’t fill its\’ obligatory annual compilation with back catalogue cuts. Instead, we\’re offered a vast number of previously unheard re-edits, remixes and original productions. It\’s a successful blueprint and one religiously adhered to on Hot Digits: Year Seven, the popular imprint\’s latest must-check collection. There\’s not enough room to single out every sonic highlight, but our current favourites include the breezy boogie squelch of Ross Fitz\’s \’I Miss Your Love (\’85 Mix)\’, the driving deep house haziness of Fingerman and Henri Le Blanc\’s \’Leave Your Cares Tonight\’, the neo-trance cheeriness of Picklejam\’s \’Endorphin Situation\’ and the stab-happy, peak- house retro-futurism of \’The Feeling\’ by Downunder Disco.
