Song is disrespectful wit it 🥵🥵🤤

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.

A huge moment from 2021. After 4 years of working together with the Dames, this was their debut solo single on Defected, which was produced by Detroit legends Amp Fiddler and Andrés.
 
Supported heavily by @louievega and @natashadiggs, with remixes from @folamour and Louie & Josh Milan… this is a record that will still be getting played in 20 years from now.

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.

Longstanding duo Pig&Dan make their DFTD debut with two-track package 'Better Than The Love I Know / Pull Up To The Bumper', flexing the pair's music without boundaries mantra. 'Better Than The Love I Know' kicks off the release, with a deep approach transporting us straight to the depths of the dancefloor. 'Pull Up To The Bumper' follows, layering their take of the Grace Jones classic over a groovy bass and thick hi-hats.

Pull Up To The Bumper (Disco Mix)

Bouncy, cool and addictive, 'Piano Pump' from Berlin's Superlover first filled floors in 2019, blending house and Italo disco for an understated record with international appeal. The certified tune then caught the attention of the Italian duo NiCe7, who over the years have released on Crosstown Rebels, Snatch! and DFTD, building an impressive collection of remixes with tracks from Claptone and Jon Cutler among many others, as well as collaborating frequently with fellow Italian duo Dirty Channels. Now the pair disco-fy 'Piano Pump' with an exclusive Glitterbox remix, retaining the original's juicy charm while updating the track for modern soul-seekers who yearn for the dancefloor.
