Hot Shots II is the second
studio album by the Scottish musical group
The Beta Band, released on 16 July 2001.
Colin "C-Swing" Emmanuel and the band co-produced the album. The band's previous work had used dense experimentation but Hot Shots II had a minimal style influenced by
R&B,
hip hop and
electronica.
Mason later said the album was, "us doing what we promised to do and making something completely incredible, that didn't sound like anything else. Nothing else that's ever come after it has ever sounded like it. It's got good, fleshed out and complete songs on it."[1]
