Sempa teams up with IC3 on MAKE SOME, a sharp, bass-driven release that blurs the lines between 140, breaks and UK garage, while marking a clear turning point for both the artist and the Hot Cakes label. Built around punchy percussion, weighty subs and a restless rhythmic swing, MAKE SOME sits comfortably between scenes without committing to just one. Elements of classic UK dancefloor energy are reworked through a modern 140-focused lens, resulting in a track that feels raw, functional and forward-thinking. IC3's presence adds urgency and grit, locking tightly with the beat and pushing the track's momentum. The release represents a rebirth of Hot Cakes, signalling a renewed direction for the label, while also reflecting Sempa's transition into a deeper, more defined 140-based sound. Rather than leaning on nostalgia, MAKE SOME reframes familiar influences into something direct and contemporary, a statement of intent aimed squarely at systems, clubs and late-night dancefloors. With MAKE SOME, Sempa continues to carve out his place within the evolving UK bass landscape, bridging tempos and styles while keeping the focus on impact, groove and atmosphere. MAKE SOME is a release rooted in UK dance music tradition but shaped by its future - equally at home in a dark club room or cutting through on a sound system, and a strong signal of what's next for both Sempa and Hot Cakes.
