Hot Sugar is one of those producers that walks the thin line between hip hop instrumentation and electronic vibes better than anyone I know. His style is different, as are his sounds. And as he's been relatively quiet with releases since his Midi Murder freebie last summer (the teaser video is dope as fuck and you should check it out immediately), my eyes lit up when he shot me a YouTube link to his new project set to a looped visual of one of those gambling machines where you dump a handful of quarters in and cross your fingers that you get more quarters than you put in. Or a cheap watch.

We're not sure how "Seductive Nightmares" will roll out, or when. It seems as if this is a DJ mix for an album called God's Hand. But it's amazing. Hot Sugar is a hidden gem, and one of a handful of people from my hometown (Princeton, New Jersey) that moved to and is flourishing musically in the over saturated New York market.  His relentless work ethic is apparent, and the output is marvelous. Give this release an ear, and let us know how you like it. We'll chase back up as soon as we know what the plans for the full release are.
