To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases: Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future. On the latest release, Riva Starr joins forces with Hilit Kolet for ‘Twerq It’ featuring NEZ. No stranger to the Defected family, Riva Starr’s relationship with the label continues to blossom, following standout releases like ‘Love Divine’ and his celebrated Defected House Masters collection– not to mention standout performances at Defected’s flagship festival in Croatia and their Ibiza residency at Ushuaïa. Fast-rising London DJ and producer Hilit Kolet also has a history with the label, with Defected releasing her debut single ‘Techno Disco’ and its follow-up release ‘POV Siren’ on Faith marking her as a serious name to watch, before this year’s trio of singles ‘Hot Mess’, ‘Everything Is Amazing’ and ‘Snap Talk’ cemented her reputation as the producer behind the bleeding edge of 2024’s fiercest beats. Joining the two mercurial producers on vocal duty is Chicago artist NEZ, a house music maverick whose distinct flow has featured on collaborations with Moodymann, Eats Everything and HoneyLuv. The three have all carved out their own distinct lanes in house, and now they join forces for Defected’s Together series with ‘Twerq It’, a record built for the club, its sharp lyricism and addictively stripped-down worked to the bone rhythms delivering a modern masterclass in tension and release.

When a fledgling Defected Records launched back in 1999, perhaps it was prophetic that its debut release would become one of house’s best loved cross-over records: Soulsearcher’s ‘Can’t Get Enough’ originally released on Soulfuric Deep. Soaring to #5 in the UK singles chart at the time, the legacy of Marc Pomeroy’s vocal club cut lives on well into the 2020s. Now, as part of the Together series celebrating Defected’s 25th anniversary, which integrates talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future, Defected revisits this timeless gem with a fresh remix from Prunk. One of the Netherland’s most valued musical exports of recent times and PIV founder, Prunk adds his signature bounce to the record for another unmissable addition to the Together series.

Ferreck Dawn returns to Defected Records alongside revered producer New Machine and established Irish vocalist Maverick Sabre with ‘For The Weekend’. The Dutch heavyweight producer Ferreck Dawn has had a major year so far, recently releasing ‘Friends Around (Set It Off)’ alongside GUZ, as well as collaborating with MEDUZA, Clementine Douglas and more across the Defected family of labels. Similarly, New Machine and Maverick Sabre will release their full-length LP as part of YOURS alongside SÓLLER and Jake Hall, following a string of acclaimed releases including ‘DONDÉ ESTÁ’ and ‘LOVE MIGHT MAKE ME BETTER’. Together, the three artists create throwback charm with ‘For The Weekend’; Maverick’s tight vocals are layered in octaves, looping in ecstasy over Ferreck and New Machine’s hypnotic sub-bass and expansive production touches.

Oden & Fatzo and Poppy Baskcomb’s Defected summer smash ‘Tell Me What You Want’ continues its upwards trajectory with an acoustic version. The once underground artists now achieving major crossover success, Parisian trio Oden & Fatzo teamed up with Portsmouth singer-songwriter Poppy to create an instant classic that has captured the hearts of fans new and old. Receiving early radio support in the UK from BBC Radio 1, KISS FM and Capital Dance to now hitting 3 million streams worldwide, ‘Tell Me What You Want’ is all set to become a globally recognised hit, still supported by major international stations across the UK, Ireland, France, The Netherlands and Australia. Poppy Baskcomb’s powerful vocals and songwriting abilities are spotlighted on this special acoustic release of ‘Tell Me What You Want’, stripped back to allow the group’s innate musicality to shine.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future as CamelPhat and Elderbrook’s definitive Defected smash ‘Cola’ receives a remix from Made By Pete. A strikingly modern and essential house record signed by now Defected CEO and co-owner Wez Saunders, CamelPhat’s ‘Cola’ roared to the top of dance charts globally, changing the landscape of club culture with its hypnotic and subversive lyrics before receiving a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 2018 GRAMMY Awards. Stepping up on remix duties, Made By Pete is an electronic artist with a unique point of view, celebrated by some of the industry’s most influential tastemakers including Damian Lazarus, Black Coffee, Bedouin, Vintage Culture and Pete Tong. The British DJ and producer’s sonic is oft bolstered by his artistic visual productions, leading to acclaimed sets at the world’s top clubs, from fabric in London to Black Coffee’s residency at Hï Ibiza. With a catalogue of releases that more than qualifies him for the job, Made By Pete delivers a transformative remix of ‘Cola’; eccentric percussion combines with avant-garde synthwork and Elderbrook’s signature vocal to create a one-of-a-kind house record that is a shining triumph for Defected’s Together series.

Over a decade later, ‘Mind Your Step’ remains a record box staple, now receiving an update from Sam Divine. The DJ, producer and broadcaster’s relationship with the label is stronger than ever in 2024, playing for Defected at Ushuaïa Ibiza, Glastonbury, and flagship festivals in Croatia and Malta - also releasing a string of singles like her previous Together series release ‘Cruel Intentions’ with Hannah Wants and Jem Cooke, and ‘Saved By The Record’ with Josh Barry.

A strikingly modern and essential house record signed by now Defected CEO and co-owner Wez Saunders, CamelPhat’s ‘Cola’ roared to the top of dance charts globally, changing the landscape of club culture with its hypnotic and subversive lyrics before receiving a nomination for Best Dance Recording at the 2018 GRAMMY Awards.

Defected is proud to unveil a highly anticipated project from the mind of singular artist SeeMeNot, titled ‘LEADER: Giving Them Their Flowers’. The collection represents the hymns and praises of women, sharing lyrics written by SeeMeNot over productions from some of SeeMeNot’s favourite electronic artists in recent years. A melting pot of deep house, melodic house and techno overlaid by a sheet of jazz, soul and hip-hop sonics, this mixtape is an homage to women of the BIPOC community and their everlasting strength, wisdom, methodology and a celebration of their liberation. As the sophomore project to SeeMeNot’s first mixtape ‘LONG OVERDUE: The Sound Of A Revolution’ - where a chronological diary of the evolution of slavery to abolition was the thread - LEADER features a more diverse application of harmonies and fixational genres woven into a story for the ages, in celebration of women and their contribution to the very rare parts of humanity we have left. Among its explorative tracklist, ‘LEADER: Giving Them Their Flowers’ platforms the deep recitations of artist/poet Aminata over music from Eli Escobar on ‘Gene/Sis (Intro)’, followed by a call to arms from writer/designer Fanny Vannier with production from Aaaron on ‘Mother Reign’. Defected stalwart Sam Divine also steps up to remix the focus track, ‘Have My Back’, adding her signature club-focused sound to the evocative production from Ivory (IT). These ladies are friends and sisters in arms; the conviction of women coming together and taking on roles as LEADERS, is essential to winning the war.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future, as Kid Fonque joins forces with Sio for ‘Rekindled’.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future as Candi Staton’s seminal classic ‘Halleliujah Anyway’ receives two new remixes from Larse and Jnr SA. An international icon of dance music, American singer-songwriter Candi Staton first released ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ in the early 2000s, with the gospel anthem rapidly becoming a dancefloor must-have thanks to remixes from revered house artists like Moplen, Dr Packer, David Penn, Ashley Beedle and the late Frankie Knuckles alongside Eric Kupper. The record continues to inspire dancefloors today, now receiving an update from acclaimed DJ, producer and longstanding friend of Defected, Larse. Hailing from Germany, Larse captured the attention of house heads globally with his 2012 remix of this record, a landmark release for Defected that established the producer as an international tour de force; his new version of ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ again enriches the innate spirituality of Candi Staton’s soulful music, melding with his signature groove for an unforgettable outing of gospel house. Also putting his unique stamp on the record, the influential Jnr SA has worked with major players of South Africa’s vibrant Afro house scene; his take on ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ brings with it a reverence for his formative years in the church, combined with an electronic knowledge well beyond his years.

British icon, DJ and producer IDRIS returns to Defected with club belter ‘Go Deeper’, in collaboration with burgeoning South African talent Una Rams. Continuing a string of releases on the London label in 2024, including his Together series remix of Fish Go Deep’s iconic club anthem ‘The Cure & The Cause’ and infectious original ‘La Trumpeta’, Idris Elba’s house sound is currently dominating the club scene. As more releases are revealed, the DJ and producer continues to lift up those he works with, which now includes African genre-fluid producer and singer-songwriter Una Rams. From his upbringing in the musically rich province of Limpopo, South Africa, to releasing with the legendary Black Coffee on ‘Flava’, Una Ram’s creativity knows no bounds as he brings his global sound to the world stage with ‘Go Deeper’. Composed of driving Afro beats underpinning Una’s rhythmically addictive vocal, this powerful, collaborative record is all set to soundtrack the summer season and beyond.

House icon Jack Back returns to Defected alongside CeCe Rogers for ‘Freedom 2024’, a fresh take on the record reworked for today’s dancefloors. One of the industry’s A-list names, David Guetta releases under his Jack Back alias as a reminder of his authentic house roots, partnering with Defected on many occasions since his chart-topping label debut ‘(It Happens) Sometimes’ in 2018. In 2024 the producer has already released twice on the label’s Together series - first remixing Dennis Ferrer’s legendary ‘Hey Hey’ then collaborating with South African house pioneer THEMBA for ‘Give Me Something To Hold’ – and now he returns to revamp one of his notable releases in Defected’s catalogue, ‘Freedom’. The collaboration with CeCe Rogers, one of house music’s most loved artists, first made waves in 2019, then receiving a remix from Defected House Master Harry Romero; this 2024 update to the much-loved record demonstrates Jack Back’s constantly evolving sound alongside CeCe’s unforgettable vocal.

Two Dutch powerhouses Ferreck Dawn and GUZ team up for ‘Friends Around (Set It Off)’ on Defected Records. A welcome addition at many of the label’s seminal parties, Ferreck’s hard-hitting sound has taken him from Defected’s iconic NYE party at Wembley’s OVO Arena, to Miami Music Week and now their newly launched Ushuaïa Ibiza residency for summer 2024. Having built this incredible relationship with the London label thanks to a string of standout releases, most recently including a club remix of his collaboration with MEDUZA and Clementine Douglas, ‘I Got Nothing’, Ferreck Dawn returns alongside GUZ for ‘Friends Around (Set It Off)’. Also no stranger to the Defected family, GUZ’s recent DFTD release with Deeper Purpose and Dope Earth Alien ‘That Sound’ saw the chart-topping producer bring his malleable, club-ready sound to the masses after hit releases ‘Set U Free’ and ‘Thin Line’. Their latest outing showcases two producers who thrive on collaboration, with ‘Friends Around (Set It Off)’ spotlighting a massive, addictive vocal and bold synth instrumentation to create an instant summer classic.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records continues its series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label's storied past and the stars of its future across an array of original productions and remixes. Originally released in 2011, ‘Amame’ was supported by the likes of Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer and Seth Troxler, with even Ricardo Villalobos ensuring that all those loitering around the booths of DC10’s closing party and fabric’s birthday of that year were enquiring of its story. Produced by Oscar G and Ralph Falcon under the guise of Intruder, its breadth of appeal has continued long into the 2020s, with two future stars now remixing the classic. Up first, following releases on Snatch!, Kaluki and Saved, Dunmore Brothers add a modern tech house spin on the original, maintaining the irresistible appeal of the vocal hook while offering a darker alternative to the original. Up next, Fleur Shore ups the tempo considerably, as hypnotic percussion loops and a full-throttle bassline make for an expertly executed peak time energy remix.

Up next, Fleur Shore ups the tempo considerably, as hypnotic percussion loops and a full-throttle bassline make for an expertly executed peak time energy remix.

Coming as their third original single on Defected Records, the need-to-know, multi-disciplinary collective YOURS (comprised of Maverick Sabre, New Machine, Jake Hall and SOLLÉR) released ‘OUR LOVE (80’S)’ in March 2024. Another striking example of the group’s genre-defying, refined sound, the starry-eyed original now receives a remix from Defected label mate David Penn. An artist who needs little introduction to fans of the label, his signature piano-laced sound brings an added layer of club appeal to YOURS’ sparkling original. Maintaining Maverick’s unmistakable vocal, the remix drips in Penn-isms, as a bassline with buckets full of bounce, tasteful builds and of course the signature keys make this an unmissable addition to YOURS’ growing catalogue.

The modern Latin house leader HUGEL lands on Defected with ‘La Verdolaga’, marking a triumphant debut on the London label. A multi-gold and platinum artist, HUGEL’s productions have reached the top spot on Beatport multiple times, including the worldwide smash hit ‘Morenita’ with Cumbiafrica. Having amassed over one billion streams worldwide, HUGEL’s powerful productions showcase a fresh sound inspired by his many years soaking up the sound of Ibiza, more recently culminating in a high profile residency at Pacha. His globally acclaimed sound has sold out the biggest venues across America, also playing on the world’s most sought-after festival stages from Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza to EDC in Las Vegas and Mexico. The next step on his journey to house music greatness, ‘La Verdolaga’ is a culmination of HUGEL’s Latin influences and experience in one explosive record; with vocals dripping in the culture supported by driving rhythms and fiery production, prepare for ‘La Verdolaga’ to soundtrack the summer season and beyond.

Berlin underground authority Stefan Braatz returns to Nu Groove with a four-track EP showcasing his timeless sound – Outlaw. An established club DJ and producer who has donned many hats in his 30-year career, Stefan Braatz is known for his expansive knowledge that defies genre convention, with his previous Nu Groove collaboration ‘Everyman Jack’ featuring Chicago legends Virgo Four combining his respect for the old school with new school techniques. Opening the EP is the eponymous track ‘Outlaw’, featuring vocals from Chicago house pioneer Harry Dennis – a contemporary of Ron Hardy, the late Frankie Knuckles and a member of Jungle Wonz alongside Marshall Jefferson. As Braatz’s relentless synth energy powers through, Dennis’s unmistakeable free flow guides the composition with ease. What follows are three solo tracks that summarise the Berlin expert’s opposition to the genre restraints; ‘Conversation’ opens a dialogue between synth strings and piano that loops in ecstasy, while ‘Dingy Thoughts’ and ‘One More Dream’ are darker club cuts that bubble with intensity in the lower registers.
