When Scottish producer Austin Ato landed on Classic Music Company with glorious two-tracker ”Linger” and ”Work” in summer ”21 he delivered an EP fitting for the world”s return to the dancefloor. Now the two red-hot cuts are committed to wax alongside previously unheard releases from Austin. The A-Side kicks off with ”Linger”, a pure gospel piano house cut with live, urgent keys and a soulful vocal from acclaimed Atlanta singer/songwriter Niles Mason. Teaming up for the second time with Classic alumnae Dave Giles II (Dave + Sam) on ”Work” for the second track, 129BPM of bouncing metallic percussion wraps around a tight groove, with Dave”s captivating talents as an MC and lyricist narrating over the techno-leaning release, before Dave”s essential Acapella closes out the A-Side. On the flip Austin delivers the unreleased heat, as the relentless funk of ”What You Want” with it”s elastic bassline and acidic synth stabs opening the B-Side. Finally, the bumping groove ”Cherry Soda” closes out the package, immaculately composed with warm chords, a crackling vocal and chunky bass coming together with power and purpose. Cementing Austin”s position as a must-know producer for discerning selectors, ”Hot Jams Volume 1” is a record box essential ready to set dancefloors alight.
