Producer and DJ Hotboxx has teamed up with Nashville-based talent Ruggs to deliver a fresh take on Patrice Rushen’s ‘Forget Me Nots.’ Available now as a free download, the track marks another creative highlight in Hotboxx’s ever-evolving journey while showcasing the chemistry he continues to build with collaborators across the Electronic Music spectrum.
As a Producer whose career spans over a decade, Hotboxx continues to carve an identity where groove-driven, Latin-infused House sounds meet forward-thinking ideas, both within the studio and beyond. Whether through his event brand, Vice City, his production academy, The Underground Institute, or his radio show, All The Smoke, Hotboxx has demonstrated a deep dedication to the community while continuing to expand his catalogue with music that brings fresh energy to dancefloors. His latest venture with Ruggs comes as the newest example of his passion, style, and creative focus, offering fans a vibrant reimagining of the timeless original.
The ‘Forget Me Nots (Hotboxx & Ruggs Remix)’ takes the iconic vocal and melody at its core, layering it with crisp percussion, rolling basslines, and driving House elements. With its steady groove, polished rhythmic flow, and bouncy yet sophisticated detailing, the remix keeps the essence of the original intact while injecting a modern twist that aligns with Hotboxx’s signature style and Ruggs’ House sensibilities – a blend of contemporary edge and refined production, the collaboration achieves a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking, crafting a journey where funky textures converge with jazz-infused horn licks and vibrant synth motifs.
For Hotboxx, this remix arrives following a busy summer season of international shows, seeing him build on the momentum of appearances at USA festivals, like Deep Tropics and Movement Festival, and DJ slots across stages around Colombia. As he adds this new remix to his ever-evolving output, Hotboxx reflects not only his consistency in the studio but also his commitment to keeping his artistry versatile, collaborative, and firmly grounded in his signature sound.
With its balance of familiarity and originality, the Hotboxx and Ruggs remix of ‘Forget Me Nots’ comes as a fresh offering for DJs and listeners alike: a track that celebrates the roots of House while pushing it into new territory.
