Jamie Jones has revealed that he's planning to launch a new label next month.
In a post on his Facebook page, he teased details of the new project, while addressing criticism over the success of the recent Hot Natured and Ali Love track Benediction, which has entered the charts.
The track, which was released on his Hot Creations label at the end of October, dropped into the UK chart at number 31.
But some fans deemed the commercial success of the track as 'selling out'.
“For everyone who was expecting my next collaboration to be with Akon, here's the lowdown,” he said. “So interesting to see the differences in opinions over Benediction getting into the top UK top 40.
“Personally I'm 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.
“Saying that, I do understand peoples passion for underground music, I share that passion, and have done for most of my life, so I would like to take this chance to let everyone know that I have a brand new more underground label starting next month, which I'm very very exited about. watch this space.”
