Personal life

Originally from South Yorkshire, Padley entered the electronic music scene at a young age, beginning to frequent area nightclubs at the age of 14.^[3] His DJ education started at 17, playing 12–13-hour sets each Sunday at a club under his birth name.^[1] His residency soon became a top afterparty destination for clubbers in the area. As word got around, Padley's notoriety increased, resulting in a 2006 residency at Cream Ibiza in Amnesia under the banner of Leeds club Glasshouse.^[4]

Becoming Hot Since 82

In 2010, Padley was attending an Holmfirth afterparty when the music suddenly cut out. He plugged his iPhone into the party's speakers, and incidentally, one of his works-in-progress came on. Though Padley had admittedly not made the track with the intent of releasing it, reactions at the party were roundly positive, causing him to contact his friend, Danish DJ/producer Noir, who runs the record label Noir Recordings. Noir was impressed, and released it on his label. "Let It Ride" came out on Noir Music on September 5, 2011, hitting number three on Beatport's deep house chart. Thus, Hot Since 82 was born.^[4]

Musical career

Rising out of obscurity, Daley has recently been featured in a variety of widely popular electronic music media. After a year of releasing his music, he was featured on Pete Tong's Essential Mix show on BBC Radio 1 in August 2013, playing a two-hour exclusive set.^[5]

Soon after, Daley was commissioned for a remix of electronic music pioneer Green Velvet a.k.a. Curtis Jones' song "Bigger than Prince". The track was released in September 2013, and rose to number 1 on Beatport's dance music charts.^[6][7]

He released his first full-length album, Little Black Book, in October 2013 on Moda Black Records, featuring collaborations with Joe T Vannelli and Thomas Gandey, as well as remixes of Rudimental and Shadow Child.^[8]

Padley launched his own imprint, Knee Deep in Sound in 2014, on which he hopes to release music from up-and-coming artists with an underground "vinyl" sound.^[9]

Electronic music website Dancing Astronaut ranked Hot Since 82 at number 7 on their list of Top 25 Techno & Deep House Producers of 2013.^[6]

In April 2014, Hot Since 82 was featured as Mixmag's cover story, with a recent mix of his featured as the magazine's "cover mix".^[3]

Padley was featured on Pete Tong's Essential Mix in July 2015; playing a full three-hour recording of his set from ENTER at Space, Ibiza.
