Now You Too Can Follow Hot Since 82 Around the US

Hot Since 82 is a Leeds-based DJ and producer who is living up to his name—he just had a year that was hot-as-hell. He released his debut masterpiece Little Black Book which is part-album, part-mix compilation and remix package; it's a full-on crate digging expedition through the many corners of floor-filling groove-laden house music. Hot Since (we're on nickname basis, I think) was also chosen by Pete-Pete-Pete Tong to throw down a stellar essential mix that solidified his place as one of dance music's elite all-stars. He just finished up a North American club tour and was nice enough to snap some pics and say some words on the many highlights and memorable moments that a world-class DJ encounters while on the road. Damn, this dude's life looks pretty rad. I'm jealous.
