“This track slaps in the club, it’s been in the back pocket of DJs such as the great Honey Dijon and Walworth darling Joy Orbison. I like it because it creeps up on people and drops without people really knowing it. I hope it serves you well x”

We were delighted when Doche sent in his first demo of this song. Despite Kevin living in London, we are still a Scottish label with our registered office in Glasgow. The original recording of this song (by the Average White Band and produced by Arif Mardin) has to be one of the greatest disco tracks conceived by the Scots [1975 US disco chart #11]. So having one of our artists create a new recording for 2024 makes us very proud. Doche takes Hamish Stuart & Roger Ball's guitar & sax melodies and re-wires them to a hot nu-disco beat. We've seen this one in action, and it goes off on the dancefloor. If you're a fan of Purple Disco Machine, this is for you.

Next up on Tensnake's True Romance is a 2-hit combo from Egyptian born n 'Spanish youngster Paul Rudder glides into the True Romance catalogue with ease, fitting in neatly with a slice of euphoric, sophisticated House. With previous releases on Bristol label Shall Not Fade, Berg Audio and Exploited - Rudder has an ear for a sunny groove and his 'Nostalgic Feelings' single is exactly that. 

A buttery piano glazes the track while joyful vocals ring out. Sweeps, twinkles and flecks of sunlit FX adorn the top end while jacking drums and a boxing bass line maintain a bubbly vibe throughout. This is a perfect match of artist and label with Rudder and True Romance coming together in a cheery embrace.

We love an artist who is open about their musical journey. Many producers want to rip up all the "old" and create a new alias for their "new" sound as soon as they feel a slight change in direction. For us, this smacks of perfectionism and promotes unhealthy behaviour among artists. Skygroover unashamedly began life making EDM but discovered the joys of deep, musical, techy rhythms while living and making music in Brazil. The results of his newfound love were immediately apparent. We were lucky to hear "High" released earlier this year and loved its loopy heat and jazz chords. His follow-up, "Jazz Rhythm", is an equally sumptuous groove filled with clever Rhodes chords and wicked guitar licks. Add a superb sax breakdown, and you will have a future deep house classic right here. Dive in!

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 bona fide house heavyweight Hot Since 82 makes his Defected debut with ‘Preach’, featuring Chicago house legend Ron Carroll. The DJ and producer has established himself as one of the UK’s leading tastemakers and house music authorities over two decades, with his acclaimed Knee Deep In Sound imprint hosting releases from artists at the very fore of where electronic dance music is heading. Since the release of the personal LP ‘Recovery’, which captured the attention of top music outlets, Hot Since 82 has brought his unmistakeable sound to the global stage consistently with longstanding residencies at Music On, Jamie Jones’ Paradise and his own wildly successful label parties. For his highly anticipated Defected Records debut, the producer returns to his vocal house roots alongside certified house music icon Ron Carroll. ‘Preach’ is bursting with energy that continually builds and loops in ecstasy as vocals, taken from an acclaimed Soulfuric release by Shawn Christopher, bestow unto us a sonically religious experience like only two giants of the genre can.
