North West London duo Late Replies will join Jamie Jones' Hottrax with their four-track EP of delicious House grooves across "Ratataa" dropping in April. To kick off Late Replies' 2025 schedule, "Ratataa" opens with loose percussion and Deep House pads that glide over a low-swinging, underground pulse. Next, "Do It Like That" shifts gears, locking into a driving, sonic rhythm with a rolling bassline that keeps the energy flowing.

"Show Love" shines with funky bass and airy soundscapes, wrapping the track in a warm, feel-good glow. "Took My Love" closes their "Ratataa EP" with crisp sound textures, sparkling keys, and Christy McAllister's lush vocals, rounding off the release with Late Replies' flawless production style.

We have been career-long fans of Hottrax, making this a bucket list release for us. We feel this EP showcases the wide range in our sound, with tracks "Ratataa" and "Do It Like That" belonging to our underground identity while "Show Love" and "Took My Love" belong to our more soul/funk side.
