History
The label was founded in 2010 by Lee Foss and James Jones. According to Foss, he and Jones started the label with a "mutual love of house, techno, disco, soul and funk," noting they both had unreleased music, and that several artists had made music specifically to be released on a new label they started.{{cite web | url=https://mixmag.asia/feature/how-your-favorite-label-came-into-existence/8 | title=How your favorite label came into existence }} Foss released his solo EP "U Got Me" on Hot Creations in 2010, as well as "Happen For a Reason."{{cite web | url=https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/7990/1/lee-foss-top-five | title=Lee Foss Top Five | date=20 July 2010 }} According to MixMag, the label "captured a certain sound taking over Ibiza dancefloors" when it was founded, and it "cultivated its own style of house music." Among other artists signed to the label were Richy Ahmed.{{cite web | url=https://mixmag.net/read/is-hot-creations-the-label-of-the-decade-vote-now-e-j | title=Is Hot Creations the Label of the Decade?
