British icon, DJ and actor Idris Elba returns to Defected with the fiery house heater ‘La Trumpeta’. The homegrown DJ turned global A-lister first released with the label in 2020 with ‘No More Looking Back’ in collaboration with Inner City, and in the following years the demand for more Idris culminated in headline slots at Defected’s events at The Warehouse Project and Miami Music Week. This new single comes hot on the heels of his remix of ‘The Cure & The Cause’, adding significant Afro electronic flair to the 2006 Defected anthem. Now he unveils his first solo original track with the London label, ‘La Trumpeta’, showcasing Idris’ signature global sound in full force; a powerful Latin trumpet solo dominates, signalling the arrival of pounding four on the floor breakdowns that have major club appeal. Expect more to come from the powerhouse pairing that is Defected and Idris in 2024.

Coming as their third original single on Defected Records, the need-to-know, multi-disciplinary collective YOURS (comprised of Maverick Sabre, New Machine, Jake and Sonny Hall) reveal ‘80’s (OUR LOVE)’. Building on the success of breakout record ‘DÓNDE ESTÁ’, which went on to be remixed by bona fide house legends Masters At Work, and the follow up ‘DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M GOING’, ‘80’s (OUR LOVE)’ is another striking example of the group’s genre-defying, refined sound. As Maverick’s unmistakable vocal is heavily manipulated over a classic deep house bassline and synth arpeggios, a nod to the 1980s TV visuals the group watched as they wrote the record, a sparkling, starry-eyed quality adds to the afterhours mood of the record. With remixes due to land in coming weeks, expect ‘80’s (OUR LOVE)’ to be one of those annual records that come to symbolise the start of summertime joy.
