'hot steel’ returns to трип with its fourth instalment

Few compilations embody openness and experimentation quite like Hot Steel, the ongoing project from Nina Kraviz’s трип imprint. The fourth edition takes listeners far from the club interiors of Europe and into the open landscapes of Mendoza. The Argentinian plains, framed by vineyards and mountains, form a natural studio where sound and nature collide.

The premise is simple but radical: Kraviz streams live, welcoming producers of any genre to submit their unreleased material. The most compelling tracks then become part of the next Hot Steel compilation. This format fosters a global dialogue, reflected vividly in Round 4 — where South American voices resonate alongside European innovators.

The resulting soundscape is diverse yet coherent, filled with hypnotic rhythms, broken structures, and emotional contrasts. It’s a document of connection — between artists, between continents, and between the digital and the organic. Hot Steel: Round 4 proves once again that трип is a home for those who believe music should explore, not conform.
