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.

🎶please FOLLOW me for NEW releases😊...... It's all about expression...this is part of my 20 year legacy portfolio (under DJ aliases) of live mixes (including vinyl) to make the classics live again!..my music style comes from blending sounds that normally wouldn’t live in the same space or time - I love taking familiar groove tracks and reimagining them with new energy, whether that’s through creative sampling, stems, correct key, loops, adding subtle beats, unexpected transitions, or layering vocals over completely different instrumentals - see my track list here: https://soundcloud.com/ch_risk_1   I hope you enjoy the vibes and please share it across all generations, so everyone can join in my New Groove! 🎶 💞  a big Thank You to Pioneer, Rekordbox, Albleton and Remix live, who provide all my beats 🥁and also all the original artists. Where would DJs be without you and where would artists be without DJs🙌

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.

Keep Pushin', Pt.2

Keep Pushin' (Purple Disco Machine Dub Mix)

The Shapeshifters has become a name synonymous with the Glitterbox sound. Simon Marlin’s previous catalogue with the label includes the sublime ‘When Love Breaks Down’, ‘Try My Love (On For Size)’ and ‘Lola’s Theme Recut’, and as a key resident for the party he has brought his joyous disco-infused house sets to events across the globe. ‘Life Is A Dancefloor’ shows his evolution as an artist, producing a track that features the unmistakable chart-topping voice of CHIC vocalist Kimberly Davis. Arranged by Colin Smith, the glorious instrumentals provided by some of the UK’s finest session players add a depth that takes this record beyond its club beginnings, giving it a truly timeless quality. With its disco influenced sound, expect to hear ‘Life Is A Dancefloor’ at Glitterbox parties and beyond for years to come.

Few artists strike the balance between the classic and contemporary quite as effortlessly as The Vision. Striving to produce honest and meaningful records, their acclaimed single ‘Mountains’ came as the follow up to incredible breakout hit ‘Heaven’, and the duo once again demonstrated their flawless production abilities. Now, The Vision return with three new remixes of this dancefloor gem. Up first, disco royalty Joey Negro delivers his Live And Direct Mix, weaving in melodies and grooves with exquisite percussion and keys that give the record an authentic disco sound. Up next, veteran producer Paul Woolford delivers his remix of the track. An artist whose output ranges from mind-bending techno to high-energy house hits, his sophisticated take on ‘Mountains’ features his signature bold piano riffs and atmospheric builds, destined for meaningful dancefloor moments. 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. As anticipation builds for their forthcoming LP, this charming package provides another exciting preview of things to come.
