It goes without saying this year was challenging. For the first time in 10 years I was sat with my ideas, without any distractions, gigs and touring. I honestly didn’t know which direction to start going in. So I started with the basics, I started making songs that I liked and art I believed in.

My new single ‘Tabloids’ is here and is the first of many planned this year. I’ll be releasing new music every two weeks for the upcoming months and with so much misinformation going around these days, I wanted to create something that was as authentic and honest as possible to counter that. All music and artwork you will hear and see is created by me.

So now, it’s time to say goodbye to the postman and for the first time in a minute, you’ll see just Royal-T.

Enjoy.

Defected is proud to revisit the legendary Todd Edwards catalogue on the third instalment of House Masters Remixes with a remix of ‘Never Far From You’ from modern garage legend DJ Q. Released in 2021, Todd’s original compilation demonstrated his approach to experimentation in its full glory; his entirely new sound, born from chopped up samples and vocal clips, birthed the UK Garage genre while giving the American-born producer major underground credibility. Ever since those pioneering releases in the 90s, Todd has continued to inspire artists around the world, including DJ Q. The UKG producer, and one third of the iconic TQD, delivers a love letter remix to the man who started it all with ‘Never Far From You’.

RUZE step back onto South Records with the ‘I’ll Be Your EP’, a focused two-track statement from one of the UK’s most consistent house duos. The Birmingham pair lock into their trademark blend of vocal character, rolling percussion and clean club weight, building on the momentum they’ve shaped across some of the world’s most respected imprint.

The title track ‘I’ll Be Your’ leads with a bold hook and tight, swinging drums. It channels classic house feeling through a modern lens; the bassline stays punchy, the vocal lifts the groove, and the whole thing moves with the effortless flow RUZE have become known for. It’s the sort of record that feels immediate on first listen yet reveals new details each time it hits a system.


‘Innervision’ goes deeper. The mood shifts into darker textures and a more introspective late-night edge, while keeping their melodic warmth intact. You hear subtle synth work, crisp drum programming and a low-end that glues everything together. It’s a stripped, confident cut that shows a more underground side of the duo without losing accessibility.
