Toolroom are immensely proud to welcome the Chicago legend, Green Velvet, back to the label as he locks horns with Toolroom founder Mark Knight and studio partner, James Hurr, for ‘The Greatest Thing Alive’. A low slung, chunky affair that screams Miami Space terrace at 8am! Quirky, full of character and Green Velvets unmistakable vocal re-work of the classic ‘Mannish Boy’ from Muddy Waters pushes this record into a really special place.

Green Velvet debuted on the label back in 2015 alongside Technasia with ‘Suga’, a record that went onto to be an overall Beatport #1 and remained as their highest selling track for many years that followed, the track also sits on an impressive 9m streams.

British icon, DJ and actor Idris Elba returns to Defected with the fiery house heater ‘La Trumpeta’. The homegrown DJ turned global A-lister first released with the label in 2020 with ‘No More Looking Back’ in collaboration with Inner City, and in the following years the demand for more Idris culminated in headline slots at Defected’s events at The Warehouse Project and Miami Music Week. This new single comes hot on the heels of his remix of ‘The Cure & The Cause’, adding significant Afro electronic flair to the 2006 Defected anthem. Now he unveils his first solo original track with the London label, ‘La Trumpeta’, showcasing Idris’ signature global sound in full force; a powerful Latin trumpet solo dominates, signalling the arrival of pounding four on the floor breakdowns that have major club appeal. Expect more to come from the powerhouse pairing that is Defected and Idris in 2024.

Two Dutch powerhouses Ferreck Dawn and GUZ team up for ‘Friends Around (Set It Off)’ on Defected Records. A welcome addition at many of the label’s seminal parties, Ferreck’s hard-hitting sound has taken him from Defected’s iconic NYE party at Wembley’s OVO Arena, to Miami Music Week and now their newly launched Ushuaïa Ibiza residency for summer 2024. Having built this incredible relationship with the London label thanks to a string of standout releases, most recently including a club remix of his collaboration with MEDUZA and Clementine Douglas, ‘I Got Nothing’, Ferreck Dawn returns alongside GUZ for ‘Friends Around (Set It Off)’. Also no stranger to the Defected family, GUZ’s recent DFTD release with Deeper Purpose and Dope Earth Alien ‘That Sound’ saw the chart-topping producer bring his malleable, club-ready sound to the masses after hit releases ‘Set U Free’ and ‘Thin Line’. Their latest outing showcases two producers who thrive on collaboration, with ‘Friends Around (Set It Off)’ spotlighting a massive, addictive vocal and bold synth instrumentation to create an instant summer classic.
