Rising talents Danny P and Caleb Laurenson step up to remix a modern Defected classic from Nick Curly, ‘Underground’. Hailing from Dublin, Danny P is a young producer and DJ quickly gaining a strong reputation on the underground scene thanks to previous collaborations with Finn Penny, Riordan and Caleb Laurenson. He teams up with the latter once more for this remix, with Caleb Laurenson’s sound heard across BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM and supported by top selectors like Chris Stussy, Obskür and Kettama. Originally released in 2012, Nick Curly’s ‘Underground’ received a remix from Dennis Ferrer soon after its release, with both versions remaining record box staples for house heads in the know to this day. Now lending their bouncy, energetic style to the record nearly 15 years later, Danny P & Caleb Laurenson’s take on the soulful house OG transforms ‘Underground’ from club groover to big room heater.

Defected Records proudly welcomes Detroit powerhouse vocal trio Dames Brown with the release of their long-awaited debut album Take Me As I Am, a vibrant, soulful celebration of the Motor City’s musical heartbeat and a tribute to their late mentor and producer, Amp Fiddler. Rooted deeply in Detroit’s rich musical lineage, Dames Brown aka Athena Johnson, Teresa Marbury, and LaRae Starr embody the spirit of Motown, the groove of Parliament Funkadelic and the fire of Aretha Franklin, weaving the influences of their hometown into a sound that’s timeless yet strikingly fresh. From their beginnings as backup singers for a local jazz instrumentalist to becoming one of the city’s most exciting vocal collectives, their journey has been one of authenticity. It was the late Amp Fiddler who first saw their potential. Crafted primarily at Amp’s home studio, Take Me As I Am is steeped in the essence of Detroit.

The result is a record that feels alive: spontaneous, deeply emotional and full of personality. Each track is a nod to Detroit’s evolving sound, connecting the dots between the city’s gospel roots and modern house heritage. Collaborations with Detroit luminaries Andrés, Eddie Fowlkes, and Waajeed tie the record firmly to its home soil, while standouts like ‘You’re The One For Me’, ‘Glory’ and ‘What Would You Do’ showcase the trio’s stunning range and charisma. With upcoming shows in their hometown Detroit and an Australia tour, plus recent appearances at Paris Fashion Week alongside Louie Vega, Defected Croatia and Glitterbox at Hï Ibiza, the trio continue to carry their message to audiences around the world; Take Me As I Am marks the start of this new chapter for Dames Brown and a continuation of Detroit’s proud legacy within the Defected family, bold, soulful and unapologetically real.

New Jersey’s own Harry Romero returns to Defected Records with club groover ‘Don’t You Want Some More’. An artist who has shaped modern house, Harry Romero’s vibey international sets and seminal releases have earned him much recognition over the years, including a coveted spot as a Defected House Master. Often representing the London label at its numerous global events, Harry Romero’s relationship with the imprint continues to grow as he presents ‘Don’t You Want Some More’, Defected’s first original release of 2026. A much sought-after record finally receiving a digital release, ‘Don’t You Want Some More’ takes classic house vocals and injects a well-defined groove, creating a sleek house cut made for the floor.

UK garage DJ and producer Casnova lands on Defected Records with his long-awaited dub of Hollis P. Monroe’s ‘I’m Lonely’. A well-respected champion of the underground who has received support Chris Stussy, Dr Banana and Rossi, Casnova’s high energy self-releases have gained him a strong online following, with some finding a home on tastemaker labels including Dr Dubplate’s EC2A. Now he makes his debut on Defected Records with a highly anticipated track teased since summer 2025; Casnova’s remix of Hollis P. Monroe’s seminal club record ‘I’m Lonely’ blends its speed garage influences and unbridled electronic power with the original’s moreish acidity, kicking off Defected’s 2026 catalogue with verve.
