The Weekly Cue-In Vol 1
What we're up to this week
Weekend Debrief
If you’re subscribed to Hot Cue, chances are high that you have read Curtis Sliwa’s article on how EDM has carried him through some tough times. Although his taste is a little questionable, (Chainsmokers…) , feeling pure euphoria while dancing under the K-Bridge is a sentiment we all understand. The real question is…Do you think he wears his red beret to the rave?

Crate Diggers
IDs for your next gig recommended by Hot Cue DJs
Ceruelan: Danne L Harle ,who has produced for names such as Caroline Polachek and Dua Lipa has released his long awaited debut album, “Cerulean”. Inspired by the ocean, the album is post-hyperpop, blending genres such as progressive, trance and techno. With features from PinkPantheress and Clairo, the album feels representative of today’s club music but successfully advances the sound further. While we recommend you listen to the entire album, here are the standout tracks for your crate:
Ultraspirit: On February 13th, the underground artist Boy2000 released a brand new EP called “Ultraspirit”, his first release after signing with R&R records. After releasing 3 albums independently and becoming popularized mostly through the TikTok algorithm, the Kansas native creates his own take on early 2000s genres like DnB and Jungle in his music. Great addition to your crate.
