Eric Vloeimans is undoubtedly one of the most influential musicians in the Netherlands. Known for his subtle, whispering trumpet style, his versatile projects, and boundless creativity, he is now breathing new life into a dazzling new band: HOTSPOT!

Is it pop? Jazz? Funk? HOTSPOT! is a melting pot where everything comes together—Vloeimans’ own Horn of Plenty, where boundaries blur, and music emerges that touches the heart and lifts the spirit.

Danceable, funky grooves inspired by James Brown’s In the Jungle Groove, hypnotic melodies, a touch of dance (thanks in part to Vloeimans’ collaboration with DJ Armin van Buuren), a tribute to Caribbean influences, irresistible African rhythms, and the high-energy sounds of the Balkans. And as the cherry on top, Phaedra Kwant graces the band with her beautiful original songs.

New Album Coming Soon!

In spring 2025, HOTSPOT! will release a brand-new album. The first single, Hotspot In The Jungle Groove, drops in October, offering a taste of the band’s energetic and eclectic sound. This album promises a musical journey full of surprises and familiar influences, featuring Phaedra Kwant and other talented musicians.
