North West London duo Late Replies will join Jamie Jones’ Hottrax with their four-track EP, ‘Ratataa,’ rife with delicious House grooves. 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, while ‘Took My Love’ closes the 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.” – Late Replies
With over 10 million streams on Spotify and chart-topping hits on Tamango Records, Deeperfect, and their own Black Label Recs, Late Replies continue to prove themselves in the UK House scene. Outside of the studio, the duo also run their Second Nature party series at London’s 93 Feet East, bringing together underground house lovers and artists like Yaya, Tre Reynolds, and more.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Took My Love’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
