Sun-drenched disco edits and mid-tempo house grooves that feel like a permanent vacation. Warm, soulful, and built for golden hour rooftop sets.
Hotmood is the alias of Guillermo, a producer based in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, who has become a prolific figure in the global nu-disco and funky house scenes. His sound identity is defined by a deep reverence for 1970s funk and boogie, recontextualized through a house music lens.
Unlike the harder-edged Chicago house or the tech-heavy European styles, Hotmood's output is characterized by 'slo-mo' tempos and a tropical, laid-back atmosphere. His career arc saw a significant surge in 2018-2019, releasing on influential labels like Tropical Disco Records, Editorial, and Whiskey Disco. He is part of a contemporary wave of producers - including peers like Angelo Ferreri and Sebb Junior - who bridge the gap between crate-digging disco edits and original house production. Critical consensus highlights his ability to maintain a 'lounge-esque' sophistication while remaining functional for dance floors. His work is a staple for DJs seeking 'golden hour' tracks that provide high-quality groove without overwhelming the listener.
