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.

Another record that broken by @marcocarola…
 
‘Joys’ was undoubtedly the song of the summer back in 2019. A catchy S.O.S. Band vocal sample and an explosive bassline, this record made people scream and shout when that first bass note came in. Brings back many good memories. Big ups @robertosurace.
 
Thank you to everyone for going with us on this journey from 2012 - 2022…
 A very happy new year to everyone. We can’t wait to see you on a dancefloor in 2023… or maybe even Printworks later. 😅

'Joys'

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.”

A deep, soulful cut from 2018 that sounds like a Defected Classic in every sense of the word.
 
Recently rolled out by @johnsummit at a @defectedcroatia boat party, this one gets an amazing reaction every time it’s played.

A record that has been played out for nearly two years, but was re-recorded quite spectacularly by S.A.M. and Sarah around a year ago in the Defected studio.
 
Finally released earlier this year, @simondunmore1 described this as a record “with all the traditional Defected values”.
 
A big record in Ibiza and Croatia this year, with big remixes from @samdivinedj & @moussetofficial.

The modest legend Harry Romero has returned to Defected to give a preview of his coveted House Masters compilation, ahead of its full release. This sampler contains four exclusive updates of some of the producer's top tracks from his expansive career. Kicking things off the New Jersey producer revisits his collaboration with major house vocalist Inaya Day 'Rise Up', creating a more driven version drenched in classic house influences, full of funky percussion and vocal soul. What follows is 'Revolution', a powerful, modern Jersey jam, layering a familiar vocal loop over tight percussion guaranteed to get any dancefloor jumping. Another collaboration between Romero and Day, 'Just Can't Get Enough', is given a smooth update by Jamie Jones, giving clarity to the infectiously funky bassline. Rounding off the collection nicely, Romero returns to his Honey Dijon and Charles McCloud's 'Personal Slave' remix, turning it into an extended synth-spliced club workout, looping the vocal for a very fresh take on the murky and seductive original.

Berlin-based Arms & Legs label boss Daniel Steinberg debuts of DFTD with 'Home Wrecker', a chugging dancefloor cut with a rubbery bassline, vocal sample dripping in soul and infectious energy from start to finish. A perfect example of Daniel's polished yet playful tech house sound, this buoyant label debut kicks off 2023 gloriously.

Another alias of Pete Heller and editor of Faith Magazine Terry Farley, Roach Motel’s long-standing roots in the 90s nightclub scene is evident in the sheer quality of their timeless productions, defining the sound of British house for many years to come. ‘Movin’ On’, originally released on London-based label Junior Boy’s Own 30 years ago, is still an underground favourite today. Now, house aficionado and Moxy Musik founder Darius Syrossian brings his club-ready approach to the 90s staple, removing excess sound in favour of a deep, chugging remix drenched in influences of the original’s era. Similarly, his 5am Mix takes us well into the early hours with even more stripped back vocal manipulation. The release also features a remix from Austria’s Sugarstarr, who takes the unmistakeably 90s hook and loops it to give a modern yet classic house feel.

After releasing Louie Vega & The Martinez Brothers ‘Let It Go’ earlier this year, Defected now deliver a package of new mixes to continue the longevity of this irresistible summertime jam. 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, unsurprisingly catching the attention of house sensation Honey Dijon, who provides a remix on the package. A flawless example of her Berlin meets NYC style, Honey’s contribution has a clubbier feel, as short bursts of Marc E. Bassy’s vocal flicker over rippling synths and a driving bassline. This package also features the previously unreleased TMBLV Vox Dub, a new mix that blends elements of the original and the dub, maintaining the vocal to a more stripped-back effect, with the Latin-infused instrumentals and addictive bassline still in full play.
