Good things come in small packages, and 'Vinotinto', the debut of Luciano and Bastidas' From The South label, is no exception. The Latin blood runs in the veins of the trio behind this track - just like fine red wine - into a union of South American flavours as Chile, Perú, and Ecuador meet in a colourful river of sounds and emotions that have enchanted audiences all around the world.

On 'Vinotinto', Luciano and Bastidas join forces with Carloh for a gracious house tune infused with all the ethnic and Balearic aromas you would expect from such a trio. Tribalistic congas, funky guitar-ish leads and charming pads move with allure along Carlos Cortez's vocals as only red wine does. Me da otra copa?

Ben Sterling joins Damian Lazarus’ renowned Crosstown Rebels imprint, partnering with Caitlyn  Scarlett for ‘Don’t Truss’.  

Building on the release of arguably one of the tracks of 2022 with his remix of Tiga’s iconic ‘Mind Dimension 2’, UK  hotshot and Planet X boss Ben Sterling has made 2023 another year of raising the levels, with his debut on  Solomon’s Diynamic becoming an instant summer anthem in the midst of his busiest summer to date. Adding yet  another huge label debut to the mix, he continues to showcase his range across house music as Damian Lazarus  invites him to Crosstown Rebels for the first time, partnering with singer/songwriter Caitlyn Scarlett for ‘Don’t  Truss’ on the revered imprint. 

“I really appreciate the opportunity to work with Caitlyn Scarlett on this one and her letting me use her  vocals. Working with an artist with such a unique voice gives me the style I was looking for to compensate  for this track. I also felt like bringing more of a UK sound to my production, which has made me really  happy with this release.” - Ben Sterling. 

A rolling and crisp production with Scarlett’s alluring and hooky vocals at its core, it’s easy to see why ‘Don’t Truss’  has become a stand-out track from Sterling’s own sets across the globe over the past 12 months. Fusing tightly  programmed percussion, warped murmurs, and a slinking, snaking groove, it’s a track crafted for the dancefloor,  moving crowds unison and leaving a lasting impact. On the flip, ‘Bring Me To The Surface’ is a groove-led and  bubbling cut that keeps the energy levels with skittering drums, acid-dipped basslines, resonant synths and yet  more vibrant vocals.

Delivering his first single on the label in five years, following a series of outings on the label's annual VA series, the Solid Grooves favourite makes his long-awaited return on 22nd March 2024, building on releases via Crosstown Rebels and his own CRZ and MÜSE imprints.

When it comes to the global house and techno landscape, very few individuals had a busier 2023 than Spanish DJ/producer and label boss Dennis Cruz. Following on from an action-packed twelve months, with highlights ranging from his Coachella debut through to regular appearances at the likes of Club Space (Miami), Hï (Ibiza) and fabric (London), coupled with a vital role at the helm of Solid Grooves' lauded DC10 Casino Motel residency alongside label co-founder PAWSA, the label favourite is back on Solid Grooves Records with his first standalone single on the label since 2019 - showcasing his trademark, groove-driven sound in full with his latest offering, 'Bonito'.

Drenched in Latin and Salsa flavours and sonics, with vibrant brass melodies ebbing and flowing amongst playful and hooky vocal interludes, all layered above signature crisp and rolling drums, 'Bonito' is a perfect example of Cruz's impeccable house sound and welcomes the arrival of a heavily-requested ID from his sets on a fitting return to his 'home away from home', Solid Grooves.

Lady, pick it up it’s me calling
Let me, show ‘em all ‘bout the west
Homie, give it up if you ballin'
Homie, give it up for yourself  

Hey little mama with that tight dress on
I got a small proposition for you (ah, ah, ah, ah)
You look kinda sexy, got it going on
Here's what I want you to do
(Here's what I want you to do)
Come a little closer, let me see that thong
Let me slide this number to you (ah, ah, ah)
You can catch me in them streets with my blue khakis on
In my Chuck Taylors smoking blunts with my crew
(Gangsta walk)

Lady, pick it up it’s me calling
Let me, show ‘em all ‘bout the west
Homie, give it up if you ballin'
Homie, give it up for yourself  

Hi baby
Are you there?
Yeah I’m here
No you didn’t wake me up
Don’t worry I was up
I’m really sleepy though
I was up all night, thanks to you
Yeah, I miss you so much

It’s 6 in the morning, we still going strong
And we, ran out of weed at about two (oh no)
Must be the music, got these gangstas gone
(Must be the music)
I'm tryna play this funk down on you

Homie give it up if you ballin'
Homie give it up for yourself
Lady, pick it up it’s me calling
Let me, show ‘em all ‘bout the west   
(Hey, hey)

Lady, pick it up it’s me calling
Let me, show ‘em all ‘bout the west
Homie, give it up if you ballin'
Homie, give it up for yourself

An established talent currently at the fore of the house and scene, Blackchild lands on Defected with ‘Nothing Better Than Music’. Italian producer Blackchild’s unique sonic often blends his jazz-training with electronic style, delivering cross-genre damagers built for the underground and leading to collaborations with Paco Osuna and St Germain. Further solo releases on Solid Grooves and his own imprint LATEMORNING cemented Blackchild’s status as one of the scene’s freshest names, now landing on Defected with ‘Nothing Better Than Music’. By splicing together several infectious vocal samples, underpinned by funk-laden patterns and synth mastery, Blackchild has created an instantly addictive house record that sounds timeless yet feels vastly modern.
