Glitterbox 2025

Shuffling out of North and South London in fatigues and military grade gas masks, TELEFAX PRODUCTIONS are the mysterious musical masterminds behind one of 2024’s hottest club cuts - revivalist hip-house jam ‘Break This House Down’. Formed by two vastly experienced producers and sci-fi fanatics whose working partnership began way back in the late 1980s, TELEFAX PRODUCTIONS was born to provide a platform for established and unknown artists, using a moniker inspired by one of Andy Warhol’s sci-fi movies. Each of their releases pushes a featured artist to the fore, with our shadowy heroes providing a musical canvas for their vocal and lyrical talents. TELEFAX PRODUCTIONS’ first missive, arriving via Luke Solomon’s Classic Music Company imprint, stars previously unheard mic man DeeVoeNay – a young rapper hailing from Buffalo, NY, who they first encountered while out crate digging in South London last year. Naturally, DeeVoeNay’s distinctive flow and party-starting raps come to the fore on ‘Break This House Down’ – an infectious, floor-friendly hip-house jam that recalls the bustling, breakbeat-driven rush of the style’s late ‘80s, early ‘90s heyday. On top of the sonics, every aspect of ‘Break This House Down’ has been carefully curated, with the well-established, multi-faceted artist Jimmy Cauty responsible for the bold and highly stylised artwork.

Modern house champion Butch returns to Defected alongside genre-hopping songwriter and vocalist Life On Planets with ‘Get High With You’. Butch’s 2023 release ‘I Want You’ with Nic Fanciulli was one of Defected’s most celebrated, and in 2025 he returned to the London label, remixing Duck Sauce’s ‘Fallin In Love’ which charted in the Beatport top ten and was supported by Danny Howard, Arielle Free and Sarah Story on BBC Radio 1. Also no stranger to the Defected family, Life On Planets landed on sister label Classic Music Company in 2023 alongside Lubelski with the eclectic ‘Mercury In Retrograde’, a tastemaker release showcasing the multi-instrumentalists soulful vocals and songwriting prowess. The two artists now come together on Defected, after Butch remixed Life On Planets’ ‘Downstream’ with Makèz; ‘Get High With You’ shows a clear reverence for the noughties, but modern harmonic progressions and daring production choices propel the record into 2025 and beyond.

Candombe House One (Original Mix) - MRGOODALF, Chri's Crow & Alkimista Hitmaker

“Cartel Dreams – Dark Reggaeton & Trap Lust” is the sound of forbidden nights, where danger and desire collide. Mixing reggaeton beats, Latin trap rhythms, and dark cinematic atmospheres, this album embodies the erotic power of luxury and vice. Each track feels like a party in a cartel mansion — fast cars, champagne showers, whispered deals, and bodies moving to hypnotic rhythms. Designed for nightlife, it’s a soundtrack for lust, rebellion, and sensual excess.

Naarm/Melbourne-based Close Counters’ diverse soundscape sits at the crossroads of house, neo-soul, broken beat and disco. Their 2023 Music Victoria Award-winning album, ‘SOULACOASTA II’ secured their spot as one of the top talents in their class, with the duo tirelessly sourcing niche samples from films and records on trips across the globe. The LP was touted by tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Folamour, Jamz Supernova and landed Album Features with Australian stations Double J, 3RRR, PBS and 2SER. Breakout singles from the pack were originally released by Melvo Baptiste’s The Remedy Project, an imprint of Defected Records.

Their collab 'Rollout' with Young Franco, Scrufizzer and Jay Prince, won over fans across the globe and was added to the Official Soundtrack for acclaimed video game FIFA 23, and have been synced for Apple’s recent iPhone campaign. In the past year the band have also performed for triple j, 3RRR, Defected Radio, FBi Radio, Soho Radio NYC, Baked, and interviewed on BBC Radio 1Xtra on tour recently, and when hotly tipped as their ‘After Dark Discovery’ and ‘EP of the Week’ (‘FLUX’, 2022).

The duo expands up to a 7-piece tour-de-force with live-mapped visuals, dancers and featured musicians and vocalists from their wider collective and they’ve continuously sold out their hometown Naarm/Melbourne dates, notching impressive shows at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, sold out dates at 170 Russell, Corner Hotel, The Night Cat, and packed-out rooms across Australia’s east coast. Support duties have flowed from Madlib, Sofi Tukker, Crazy P Soundsystem, Tall Black Guy, to local mates Confidence Man and The Jungle Giants, betwixt bucket-list festivals Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Let Them Eat Cake, Strawberry Fields, Meredith Music Festival, MONA FOMA, Party in the Paddock and showcasing at BIGSOUND, Electronic Music Conference and three sold-out Melbourne Music Week events.

The band recently finished their UK & EU summer ticking off Lost Village Festival, Manchester Jazz Festival, Defected Malta and Cabaret Sauvage. In London, they sold Ronnie Scott's, did 180 tickets at Ninety One Living Room, packed out Hootananny Brixton and landed a sold out Jazz Café support for Somewhere Soul's showcase with Cotonete. The band have also played packed sets in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Monaco, Brighton and featured behind the decks at ADE, Defected Croatia, Reflektor in Belgium with A-Trak, and are returning for Brick Lane Jazz Festival in April 2025.
