Late Replies - I'm High

Late Replies are back on their imprint for the third time this year with 2 powerful underground anthems, which feature 2 talented vocalists in Shyam P & Rayzir.

The A side, 'Not Perfect' is a perfect blend of deep tech and sexy. Shyam P's harmonic melodies hosts the vibe while keeping the gritty feel for the dance floor. This combined with Late Replies' rolling glitchy percs and pumping bass line guarantees a good time on the dance floor.

The B side, 'Never Know' is a constant deep acid sequence roller polished with Rayzir's slick vocal which will hug the club. The snapping RD8 snare pierces through the speakers while the bass line takes you on a deep ride.

Deeply involved and connected to the club culture of their hometown for over a decade, Manchester's Mason Collective's ascent from local promoters to stars of the international scene has been nothing short of meteoric. Now delivering their DFTD debut with double track release 'A Little Affection', the trio demonstrate their club-focussed sound with a groove-laden EP soaked in dancefloor energy. Kicking off with the sultry and smooth lead track, hypnotic bleeps and chopped pads merge beneath a catchy vocal hook for a slice of club magic.

Ben Sterling joins Damian Lazarus’ renowned Crosstown Rebels imprint, partnering with Caitlyn  Scarlett for ‘Don’t Truss’.  

Building on the release of arguably one of the tracks of 2022 with his remix of Tiga’s iconic ‘Mind Dimension 2’, UK  hotshot and Planet X boss Ben Sterling has made 2023 another year of raising the levels, with his debut on  Solomon’s Diynamic becoming an instant summer anthem in the midst of his busiest summer to date. Adding yet  another huge label debut to the mix, he continues to showcase his range across house music as Damian Lazarus  invites him to Crosstown Rebels for the first time, partnering with singer/songwriter Caitlyn Scarlett for ‘Don’t  Truss’ on the revered imprint. 

“I really appreciate the opportunity to work with Caitlyn Scarlett on this one and her letting me use her  vocals. Working with an artist with such a unique voice gives me the style I was looking for to compensate  for this track. I also felt like bringing more of a UK sound to my production, which has made me really  happy with this release.” - Ben Sterling. 

A rolling and crisp production with Scarlett’s alluring and hooky vocals at its core, it’s easy to see why ‘Don’t Truss’  has become a stand-out track from Sterling’s own sets across the globe over the past 12 months. Fusing tightly  programmed percussion, warped murmurs, and a slinking, snaking groove, it’s a track crafted for the dancefloor,  moving crowds unison and leaving a lasting impact. On the flip, ‘Bring Me To The Surface’ is a groove-led and  bubbling cut that keeps the energy levels with skittering drums, acid-dipped basslines, resonant synths and yet  more vibrant vocals.

Deeply rooted in the club culture of their hometown for over a decade, Manchester’s Mason Collective’s rise from local promoters to become one of the international scene’s most in demand acts is a clear demonstration of their unique talent. Following their striking two-track EP ‘A Little Affection’ for sister label DFTD, the trio now debut on London house institution Defected with ‘People In Love’ featuring fellow Mancunian singer-songwriter Bipolar Sunshine. Regularly playing in Ibiza this summer for the likes of Paradise, The Martinez Brothers’ residency at Hï and Defected’s own weekly parties, ‘People In Love’ now emerges as a late entry for potential record of the season, its chugging bassline and decadent synth-work making a club-ready backdrop for Bipolar Sunshine’s ethereal vocal.
