The Deep House collective Hot Natured entered into the UK top 40 music charts with their single ‘Benediction’. After receiving some criticism about ‘Selling Out’ Jamie Jones posted a Facebook status responding to the critics. You can read the full message below, but for us, the exciting bit is the last paragraph. Another label = more great music from Jamie Jones and friends, we can’t wait. Thats not to say we are down on Hot Creations or the Hot Natured band project as we don’t think he has sold out at all and will continue to support those projects as long as they continue making great new music!

For everyone who was expecting my next collaboration to be with Akon heres the lowdown….:) so interesting to see the differences in opinions over Benediction getting into the top UK top 40. Personally Im very very proud that with the hot natured band project we were able to touch so many people with this record. But I also want to assure people that this in NO way selling out, Selling out is making music that you don’t particularly like purely for money, We just make songs we love (this will never change) and it seems that a lot of people like them, So for us to then turn around and say you cant like my music your not cool enough is ridiculous….
