Inspirational stuff man - such a mean groove.

Originally released on Josh Butler’s Origins imprint in 2020, Piem & ANNNA’s ‘19’ is now given a full outing on DFTD with new remixes from Josh Butler and Payfone. An irresistible slow burner, Piem’s laid-back production aesthetic paired with ANNNA’s sultry vocal made for a dreamy collaboration. Payfone’s remix is an altogether funkier affair, with playful guitar riffs and a pulled back tempo, while Josh Butler readies ‘19’ for main room raving with a rumbling bassline destined for the mightiest of soundsystems.

Around might come as a surprise for many club-heads as Noir usually produces club tracks and is now moving into the electronic songs area. However Around makes the perfect transition for Noir as it refletcs some of his trademark club-sounds mixed with the new melodic and more in-depth electronic sound. This is the 1st single taken from a full-length album coming in 2012 including some of the world's most talented singer/songwriters. On Around Danish Noir teamed up with Malaysian Haze for this heartfelt piece of music. Haze might be best known for his work with people like Sandy Rivera, Nic Fanciulli and Danism and the singer/songwriter proves his talent for creating emotional and melancholic vocals. Together Noir & Haze gave this track what they felt music in general is lacking today: Heart and Soul. This track has the perfect blend of the 80s New Wave sounds, the 90s proper vocal house anthems and today's modern production techniques. This is something different, nothing else out there sound quite like this. Solomun is a genius when it comes to sexy club music. This remix is already rated one of his best to date and perfectly refletcs his flair for the sub-heavy downtempo funk and club-feel. Expect the cool underground clubs to have the Solomun remixes running for the entire summer season 2011. To round the package off we also got some acoustic versions done by Haze for those who like it all stripped down and simple. This would work for those unforgettable pre- and pool-parties around the globe. Dive in and get inspired, enjoy and smile.

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.
