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.

With the recent track record he’s had, Purple Disco Machine is well past the point of having to prove he has the goods. But just in case you still weren’t sure, the tenacious tunesmith has teamed up with fellow German comrade Boris Dlugosch on “L.O.V.E.” Landing on Defected next week, the collab sees these two house cohorts slip into your personal space with a carnal cut that is equal parts hot and heavy. Between the jerking keys, a wailing vocal delivery, and slow-strutting basslines, this one will put you over the boiling point.

If Fiorious’ debut single is a pounding fistful of defiant house, Honey Dijon gives ‘I’m Not Defeated’ a snapping elasticated rework with her Fiercely Furious Dub. More than just a remix, Honey has recreated a classic Paradise Garage vibe by drafting musicians to re-record the track, with a fresh Fiorious vocal laid on top. A popping bassline takes centre stage with Fiorious’ vocals given further hypnotic quality, creating a bubbling dancefloor gem with all the anthemic qualities of the original. A powerful call-to-resistance club anthem, ‘I’m Not Defeated’ is the debut Glitterbox single from Fiorious, a celebration of activism, visibility and the history of the LGBTQ+ struggle.

We're big fans of Lovers and their last Grand St. Blues EP on NYC's Let's Play House was an absolute beauty that we rinsed real hard over here. The boys are back with a brand new self released Electric Drama EP and the record takes influences from seedy pornos, disco’s crossover period in the late 70s, Marshal McLuhan, and Italo house of the late 80s. Basicly a cocktail of our favourite things ;)

Legendary German DJ Mousse T. lends his signature disco-infused style to his Disco Shizzle Remix, producing an atmospheric club cut. Pioneering Leeds native Nightmares On Wax delivers his smooth, jazz-laced remix full of funk-flavoured grooves, demonstrating his innate musicality.

Finally, Toronto duo The Patchouli Brothers step up to remix. Known for their exquisite vinyl edits and a favourite of in-the-know selectors, the funk-laden, high energy mix makes a perfect closing to another blissful release from The Vision camp.

Originally released back in 2006 on Defected, Copyright’s ‘He Is’ remains a beloved dancefloor anthem to this day. The record, which saw the duo return to the US Garage sound that propelled them into clubber’s consciousness at the dawn of the millennium, features a praising vocal from Song Williamson, with charged up keys and rounded groove that gave it its euphoric quality. Now, 14 years after it was first released, two esteemed producers remix the Balearic anthem. Up first, mysterious Detroit collective Scan 7 supply their uplifting mix, as a pumping bassline and funk-laden instrumentals provide a joyous backdrop to Song Williamson’s rejoicing vocal. Up next, Italian powerhouse duo Alaia & Gallo deliver their mix, building on the exhilarating qualities of the original with surging kicks and a punchy beat.
