Almost a year since Phil Kieran released Blinded By The Sun, Hot Creations return with a second remix package. Resident Advisor dubbed the original as a “loose and soothing tech house album crafted using live instruments”, and Mano Le Tough, Matthew Herbert and David Holmes provide flawless remixes.

Revered by his peers, ​Kieran has been producing music for over a decade, building on his solid reputation and forever pushing boundaries with his music. When selecting the second group of remixers, Kieran chose “​people who have influenced me and still currently do, in some way I guess they have a connection to the record already. I made a wish list of who I wanted and to my surprise it all seemed to come together very quickly​”.

Both heralding from Ireland, ​Mano Le Tough aka Niall Mannion was an obvious choice for Kieran due to the shared dedication of their craft, and leaves a deeply emotional imprint on ​Solar Storm​. In 2013 Mannion released his debut album ​Changing Days on Permanent Vacation, soon followed by Resident Advisor ranking him #8 in their Top 100 DJs Poll.

Similarly to Kieran, English musician and producer ​Matthew Herbert regularly ignores the restraints associated with dance music, instead choosing a path of innovation. Taking ​Realities Forgotten into the early morning hours, Herbert punctures a swinging rhythm with electronic glitches.

David Holmes concludes the package with a cinematic remix of ​Think Too Much​, overflowing with emotion, it makes the perfect conclusion to a stellar release. Also from Belfast, Holmes has been composing music for over two decades, winning his second Ivor Novello award in 2016.
