always top track John, thanks my friend 👊

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.

Simply an iconic track from Swiss brothers Mandrax and Seb K aka Shakedown, 'At Night' is one of the most recognisable house tracks of the last two decades. With one of the most-hyped remixes of the year, artist of the moment Peggy Gou has seriously delivered with a squelching 7 minute groover, bringing in that iconic synth motif to lift the production and keep it rolling.

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.

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 song that makes people DANCE every time it’s dropped.
 
Supported by the likes of Marcellus Pittman and Dan Shake, it’s an underground record that will never get old.
 
@melvobaptiste: “I just found this video of Marcellus Pittman on my phone & it made me smile. So hopefully it does the same to you.”

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. 😅
