Pattern Perception is a new artist who has just been signed by Jack Said What. Fuelled by audio psychoactive motifs, he’s an exciting prospect who was discovered by JSW thanks to the Data Transmission demo feedback sessions.

While Pattern Perception is readying his album he hooked up with Jack Said What uber-producer Steve Mac, who saw something in a Patterns track that he could put a new switch on. The resulting house track is massive.

After a percussive build-up with a burbling bass, some synth stabs and a floaty female vox begin to add colour and texture. It’s after the first drop-down that the track really gets into its flow. Classic hands-in-the-air piano keys and then a gentle 303 wiggle send ‘The Colours Of’ off into the celestial heavens. 

Fans of Duke Dumont, Secondcity, Route 94 and the deep, melodic house explosion of a decade ago will lap up this consciousness-expanding kaleidoscopic cut.

Long-time friend of Defected Ferreck Dawn returns with ‘Make Me Weak’, featuring vocals from Caroline Byrne. A Dutch powerhouse who in 2024 played for the London label at Wembley’s OVO Arena, the summer season at Ushuaïa Ibiza, its flagship festival in Croatia and world tour stop in Toulouse, Ferreck continues to rep Defected on an international level - now preparing for the label’s season at Pacha Ibiza. His busy touring schedule was matched by his Defected output, working with Maverick Sabre, New Machine, GUZ, MEDUZA and Clementine Douglas on a string of tracks last year. Returning to the label in 2025, Ferreck collaborates with Caroline Byrne, a prolific dance music singer / songwriter who has previously featured on tracks with Gorgon City, Tudor, and TSHA. ‘Make Me Weak’ is a groovier, more synth-laden outing for Ferreck, spotlighting Caroline’s airy topline layered in harmony, creating a vocaloid-like effect that aligns perfectly with Ferreck’s signature, hard-hitting production.

Morethan Talk - Do Fado á revolução feat Aura

[Verse]
So high my feet don't touch the floor
Your laugh's the key that unlocks my door
Heartbeat skips
I’m out of time
You’re the rhythm
I’m the rhyme

[Chorus]
I’m so into you
Into you
Like the ocean loves the moon
So crazy when I’m near your glow
I lose my mind
Just thought you should know

[Verse 2]
Your eyes
They pull me like a tide
No escape
No place to hide
Every move’s a melody
You’re the song that plays in me

[Prechorus]
I can’t think straight
I’m undone
It’s a race that you’ve already won

[Chorus]
I’m so into you
Into you
Like the stars love midnight blue
So dizzy
Can’t tell up from down
You spin me ‘round
You wear the crown

[Bridge]
Gravity breaks when you walk in
I’m weightless
Lost
Where to begin
You’ve got me high
I’m flying blind
In your orbit
My soul’s aligned

Into You
