Don of the airwaves Danny Howard continues his unstoppable ascent as a dance music all-rounder with his latest release, debuting on Defected’s club-focussed label DFTD with ‘Mr B’. With a catalogue of red-hot releases under his belt across a number of major imprints including Saved and Anjunadeep, ‘Mr B’ is a record clearly produced with the dancefloor in mind. As a swift beat glides over a devilishly deep bassline, a spoken-word vocal courtesy of an unrevealed US pioneer adds a hefty dose of house authenticity for this slick label debut. Layers of acidic synths and stuttering effects are the final piece of the puzzle, culminating in a club track ready to dominate the mightiest of soundsystems.

Launching early June 2013, DFTD is a breakout label to Defected Records. Focusing on fresh, new and undiscovered talent from around the globe - along with the occasional curveball release from established acts, DTFD has released music from the likes of Guti, Jonas Rathsman, Forrest, Andre Lodemann and NiCe 7 over the past 5 years.

DFTD complements its parent label and has a more diverse musical remit, releasing a broad range of electronic music, focussing on quality, discerning dance music.
