Around might come as a surprise for many club-heads as Noir usually produces club tracks and is now moving into the electronic songs area. However Around makes the perfect transition for Noir as it refletcs some of his trademark club-sounds mixed with the new melodic and more in-depth electronic sound. This is the 1st single taken from a full-length album coming in 2012 including some of the world's most talented singer/songwriters. On Around Danish Noir teamed up with Malaysian Haze for this heartfelt piece of music. Haze might be best known for his work with people like Sandy Rivera, Nic Fanciulli and Danism and the singer/songwriter proves his talent for creating emotional and melancholic vocals. Together Noir & Haze gave this track what they felt music in general is lacking today: Heart and Soul. This track has the perfect blend of the 80s New Wave sounds, the 90s proper vocal house anthems and today's modern production techniques. This is something different, nothing else out there sound quite like this. Solomun is a genius when it comes to sexy club music. This remix is already rated one of his best to date and perfectly refletcs his flair for the sub-heavy downtempo funk and club-feel. Expect the cool underground clubs to have the Solomun remixes running for the entire summer season 2011. To round the package off we also got some acoustic versions done by Haze for those who like it all stripped down and simple. This would work for those unforgettable pre- and pool-parties around the globe. Dive in and get inspired, enjoy and smile.

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.

Hot on the heels of his debut release on Defected 'It Is What It Is', Brazilian powerhouse DJ and producer Vintage Culture steps up to remix one of the label's biggest releases of late, Louie Vega and The Martinez Brothers' 'Let It Go' with Marc E. Bassy. The original record, a homage to NYC's rich Latin American dance culture, was as slick, soulful and groove-filled as expected from two generations of the city's finest, making its way onto the Radio 1 playlist and inspiring remixes from Honey Dijon and Dom Dolla already. True to form Vintage Culture's mix is flawlessly executed, as bold keys, stirring builds and an addictive bassline make this a record begging to be heard on the dancefloor.

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 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.

A very special record that we released back in 2017, along with a much-loved remix from DJ Spen & Michele Chiavarini. Huge shoutout to Black Motion and Xoli M for creating a modern-day classic.
 
Also, an honourable mention to the amazing B-Side called ‘It’s You’, which features Miss P and has over 2.7 million streams on Spotify.

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…

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. 😅

Another iconic moment from 2012…
 
Anyone that was around during that time would have heard this Hot Since 82 remix of Yousef getting played out 
 
That bassline and twisting vocal is just perfect.
