Argentina’s Prodot steps into the Solid Grooves universe with ‘I Just’, his debut on Solid Grooves Raw. Hailing from Villa Carlos Paz in Córdoba, he blends house roots with minimal textures, jazz phrasing and electro edge, always keeping one eye on dancefloor function.
‘I Just’ reflects that balance. Rolling low-end pressure, skippy percussion and resonant synth work lock into a groove that feels stripped yet weighty. It is a confident introduction to the UK imprint and a clear sign that Prodot is carving space within the global underground. Buy/Stream it here: https://ffm.to/sgraw086.
For this Hot Picks edition, he traces the phases of his journey. From Argentinian peers pushing the local scene forward to UK garage staples and 2000s tech house cuts, these records map the evolution of his sound.
Gus Bonani - Wrong Answers Only
“I want to start with Argentinian artists. Gus Bonani is amazing. I’ve played this many times and it always delivers. Funky bassline, ultra groovy and fun. It works on any dancefloor.”
Light Blue File - Ein The Rein
“One of my favourite producers from my country. The vocoder gives it a unique vibe. It leans into electro while keeping strong rhythmic energy.”
Luciano Amaya - Fuego
“A brother I met through music. His sound feels kaleidoscopic and ritualistic. Always trying to generate hypnosis through minimal grooves.”
Mariche - Look At Yourself
“A great friend and incredible producer. Pure groove in the bassline, lovely vocals and strong dancefloor energy. DJs around the world play his music.”
Jake Childs - What Can I Do
“Now into some 2000s gems. This came out on Drop Music, run by Inland Knights. Catchy groove and female vocals that ignite the dancefloor.”
Lawnchair Generals - You Got To
“One of the best duos of that era for me. Groovy, classy, funky, always bass driven. They play with samples and vocal chops in a creative way.”
Box Clever - Questions (MJ Cole Dubb)
“MJ Cole made me fall in love with UK garage. The groove is undeniable. The bassline, synth chops and that nostalgic break make it one of my all time favourites.”
Eastfield Swing - Lowther Trebles
“This track shifted my sound a few years ago. It pushed me towards electro while keeping house as the root. Serious trip for the dancefloor.”
Christopher, Rancel - Bucle Espacial
“Very special to me. The groove and pads make me feel like I’m floating. The Spanish vocals connect deeply with my roots.”
Nick Holder - U It Is
“My mentor played this when I was starting out around 15 years ago. Nick Holder is a true legend. Records like this remain timeless.”
Prodot’s selections reflect a journey that began at 12 years old with deep house, moved through minimal, and now embraces a hybrid electro and UK-leaning edge. Argentina plays a central role in that story. The local scene continues to shape him just as much as the global underground.
Electronic music is too wide to sit in one lane. For Prodot, house remains the root. Everything else branches from there.
