Beatport Best New Tech House

East-London's Riva Starr joins Defected's illustrious list of House Masters as he continues to establish himself as one of the world's top DJs and producers. Growing up surrounded by the rich musical culture of Southern Italy, Starr's influences come from all over; the sounds of Africa, Greece, Spain and the Balkans are ever-present within his revered house releases. Genre-wise his approach is similarly expansive, first falling for breakbeat after years of experimentation in Naples, before exploding onto the UK fidget and deep house scene in the noughties. Years later, the Snatch! owner's epic catalogue is brimming with the very best club music this side of the millennium, unrestricted by genre convention and bursting with eclectic samples and unpredictable references. This compilation features club belters alongside deeper cuts that seamlessly mix addictive vocal samples with hard-hitting house rhythms, as well as expert remixes and collaborations with fellow industry titans. Todd Terry, Mike Dunn, Groove Armada, Jocelyn Brown, Dennis Ferrer, Green Velvet, Harry Romero; the list of legendary artists that feature in Starr's eclectic discography is as endless as it is impressive, and throughout it all the Ibiza hitmaker maintains a signature sound that is distinctly Riva Starr.

Bouncy, cool and addictive, 'Piano Pump' from Berlin's Superlover first filled floors in 2019, blending house and Italo disco for an understated record with international appeal. The certified tune then caught the attention of the Italian duo NiCe7, who over the years have released on Crosstown Rebels, Snatch! and DFTD, building an impressive collection of remixes with tracks from Claptone and Jon Cutler among many others, as well as collaborating frequently with fellow Italian duo Dirty Channels. Now the pair disco-fy 'Piano Pump' with an exclusive Glitterbox remix, retaining the original's juicy charm while updating the track for modern soul-seekers who yearn for the dancefloor.

Iconic British production duo Groove Armada return to DFTD with a special, four-track remix package spotlighting leaders of the house scene. First up, Scottish tastemaker and international electronic creative Austin Ato lends his unique sound to the instantly recognisable GA classic ‘I See You Baby’; with early support from the likes of A-Trak, Gina Breeze and Melé, Austin’s immense take on the electronic favourite is sure to dominate the coming festival seasons and beyond. Next up, UK tastemakers Nautica flip 2007’s Love Sweet Sound featuring the iconic Candi Staton on vocals, morphing it into a deep, club-ready cut. What follows is a collaborative remix of ‘My Friend’ from Evokings, DOT and simo not simon, uniting the three Brazilian producers and good friends to create a blissed-out remix that celebrates the unique electronic scene of Rio De Janiero. Closing out this four-track package is French Alpine DJ and producer Eliza Bogan’s hard-hitting remix of breakout hit ‘Superstylin’’, with Groove Armada closing the main stage at 2025’s Snowboxx Festival in Avoriaz to an explosive crowd using this very remix.
