Following the success of their ‘Earl’ EP on Switzerland’s Hive Records, Berlin-based House staple Oliver $ reunites with Swiss Jazz House aficionado Jimi Jules to bring their anticipated debut release on Defected. ‘Pushing On’ opens with an infectious percussive medley composed of tropical triangles and melodious 808-like cowbells. With the gradual introduction of the moody, Frankie Knuckles inspired, bass line and tailing piano chords, the track slowly transforms into an energetic homage to classic Chicago House. Quick to take centre stage the track also features dusky vocal samples from Quantic Soul Orchestra, merging effortlessly with the wispy cymbal crashes, the song’s title and central lyrical theme, “Pushing On”, falls and confidently rises to drive the track to its spirited climax. And for those who don’t want the vocals there’s a dub thrown in for good measure. Already household names in their home countries, ‘Pushing On’ is sure set to solidify Oliver $ and Jimi Jules as international House providers.

There’s always a risk when tampering with a much loved classic record, it can be ruined or taken to a whole new level. With this update Amine Edge & Dance do the original justice and then some. The duo retains a lot of the elements of the original track that made it so special but in true Amine Edge & DANCE style, Lovelee Dae now comes with added punch, guaranteed to go off on the dance floor. These two keep going from strength to strength and 2017 has been their biggest year yet, and with lots going on behind the scenes this looks to continue into the New Year. Expect to hear this track being blasted out all over the world soon.

A euphoric, uplifting moment from the past 10 years…
 
Released back in 2018, this one from Manchester’s very own Finn was a really exciting and special release for us all to work on. The genius sample lift is ‘Girls It Ain’t Easy’ by Honey Cone.

Finn 'Sometimes The Going Gets A Little Tough' (Ferreck Dawn & Robosonic Extended Remix)

A soulful slice of perfection from @felixjaxx and @6ia.re, which was given that classic @moussetofficial touch… and has become an anthem within our world.
 
Since then, it has been given more club-focused remixes by @gorgoncity and @qubikomusic.
 
We’ll never get bored of hearing this one.

Dutch producer Ferreck Dawn and German mainstay Robosonic go head to head on their dancefloor smash 'In Arms'. A firm favourite with Low Steppa, Sam Divine, Franky Rizardo and the whole crew of residents when it was road-tested during the Defected Australia tour in early 2018, the thumping, bass-focussed track received a huge reaction from crowds with its tightly-harmonised earworm vocal. Certifying its place as a standout summer record, 'In Arms' has all the makings of a future Defected hit.

A big one for us from 2015, by the iconic Hercules & Love Affair - the remix package was weighty too, with mixes from Purple Disco Machine, Todd Terry and more.

The video also became a bit iconic, being premiered by THUMP and going on to rack up over 1 million views on YouTube.
 
Still sounds so fresh all these years later…

'Do You Feel The Same?'

Hercules & Love Affair 'Do You Feel The Same?'

This record was the start of what became a meteoric rise over the last few years. Sampling the incredible Fousheé’s vocal from a viral TikTok moment, ‘Deep End’ was played by Sam Divine on our Defected Virtual Festival back in 2020 and the reaction was crazy.
 
Fast forward two years, all of the versions combined have over 100 million streams. Not bad for a record that was made in John’s bedroom. 😅
