Since breaking out onto the scene and becoming a staple in the house music realm, Hot Since 82 has released his first full-length Studio Album. Released via his own label, Knee Deep In Sound, the creation is a telling look into the artist’s mind.

Following his 2019 effort 8 Track, the British DJ/producer explained how the old and new projects connect: “After [8-Track], which was a deeply personal project for me that really told a story…most people understand the philosophy behind it all. I actually genuinely feel [that] if you listen to the album from start to finish, it does really take you on a journey and tells a story, and that’s just what I’ve tried to do again with Recovery. Funny enough, it was called ‘Recovery‘ well before the global pandemic, and it seems a bit more fitting that it’s called Recovery now, as well. [I’m] just telling my story like I always try to do with my music.”

Recovery is a collection choc-full of different collaborations. For example, one of the album’s standout tracks “Body Control” features the modern house talent of Jamie Jones along side ’80s icon Boy George. Additionally, Miss Kittin picks up a feature on the Star Wars-inspired “Naboo,” UK drum ‘n’ bass stars Rudimental feature on “Be Strong,” and Liz Cass supplies impassioned vocals on two tracks as well.

Hot Since 82 will be celebrating Recovery‘s release with a live set from a hot air balloon, airing at 3:00 p.m. EST / 12:00 PST on (Saturday) November 28th on his YouTube channel. Listen to the newest from him, and check out an interview, below.
