Everything You Never Had (We Had It All)

Everything You Never Had (We Had It All) [feat. Andreya Triana]

The next artist stepping up to mix Defected’s coveted In The House series is Melé, a producer whose standout percussive sound and infectious energy behind the decks makes him one of the UK’s most captivating, flourishing DJs. From 13-year-old bedroom DJ growing up in the Wirral to his breakout tribal anthem ‘Ambience’ in 2015, Melé has now fully honed his skills in production and mixing, culminating in two mixes for ‘Defected presents Melé In The House’ and three brand new productions. Two of these original productions are included in this sampler, demonstrating what’s to come from the compilation.

With live percussion from drum warrior Shovell, the cover of ‘Pasilda’ pumps up the track’s unmistakeable rhythms and piano melody (recorded live by prolific record producer Fraser T Smith) with an irresistibly hefty bassline and vocal loops. A long-time highlight of Melé’s sets but until now unreleased, ‘Pasilda’ is an exclusive from the upcoming compilation. The aptly named ‘Brooklyn Bounce’ is Melé’s ode to Danny Tenaglia, a key influence whose sought-after percussive spirit is apparent throughout Melé's work. This sophisticated pumping house cut with plenty of signature layered percussion is the perfect set-up for the anticipated ‘Defected presents Melé In The House’.

Josh Butler returns with yet another knockout production on Defected. The deep and groovy ‘Feels Good’ gained immediate attention when the DJ Mag and Beatport award-winning producer premiered it on his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix on earlier this year. The track has an authentic house sound, as Josh blends uplifting synths and rave stabs with the feel-good powerhouse vocals of soul duo HanLei, noted for their work as Grace Jones’ backing singers. On the Dub, Josh brings the composition to heavy hitting grounds, with a deeply rhythmic bassline and breakdowns, which have already been slaying dancefloors in Ibiza and Croatia. Having worked closely with key players such as Kerri Chandler, Steve Lawler and Joris Voorn on previous releases, ‘Feels Good’ solidifies Josh as one of the most prolific and in demand producers currently on the scene.

This essential 2 track release continues Snatch!’s fine form and follows stellar releases from the likes of Parris Mitchell, Nina Kraviz, Mark Broom, Arthur Baker, Green Velvet, Groove Armada, Solardo and, of course, Riva Starr amongst many others.

The EP’s title track ‘Crystal Clear’ gets things underway, serving up a future deep house anthem encompassing a lush filtered chord pattern, an effective 4/4 groove and an emotive spoken vocal from the legendary Ursula Rucker stating ‘stay high, even when I fall’ – expect
to hear this destroying dancefloors all over Europe and beyond this summer!

‘Electricity’ is next up and concludes the release by continuing the housey vibes, taking the listener on an intense synth-driven workout featuring a distinctive whispered vocal by Mikey V, powerful drum programming, striking sound effects and a manipulated synthline which
runs throughout.

Just a quick Edit of Sister Sledge's track Pretty Baby let me know what you all think. :)

Mella Dee - Techno disco tool(Easty Edit)

One of Italy’s brightest dance talents Marco Faraone teams up with rising star of the scene Greeko on ‘Armaghetton’ for a striking Defected debut. Initially released on Marco’s own imprint Uncage, with support from tastemakers like Radio 1’s Danny Howard, Annie Mac and Pete Tong, it quickly pricked the ears of Defected’s A&R team with its lively spoken-word vocal and bounding bass. Perhaps best known for his more techno-leaning releases, this confident foray into house shows Marco Faraone’s innate ability to straddle the two worlds with total finesse. Springy and playful with endless club appeal, ‘Armaghetton’ is a future hit for the dancefloors that might have been.
