If you think things couldn't get hotter, then you have no idea what's coming next on Toolroom. Label founder Mark Knight returns with his most anticipated release yet for 2022 and this time it's a truly special occasion as Mark enlists Dance Music royalty Armand Van Helden for their debut collaboration, 'The Music Began To Play'.

An artist who needs no introduction, Grammy nominated Armand Van Helden is one of dance music's most revered figures, with a career spanning 30 years and a vast discography which includes hits such as 90's classic 'You Don't Know Me' to his seminal hit 'My My My'. His productions and sound have certainly transcended the confines of Dance Music, influencing mainstream popular culture. With a list of collaborations spanning Dizzy Rascal to Steve Aoki, not forgetting one half of Duck Sauce with turntable wizard A-Trak, Armand Van Helden has a reputation as one of House Music's finest producers.

On a roll already this year, Mark Knight has firmly cemented both himself and Toolroom back into the club with a string of collaborations in 2022, from 'You Are A God' with James Hurr and Cari Golden to 'What I Need' with RETNA, Mark seeks to continue this trend with 'The Music Began To Play'. Kicking off with a hard-hitting, thumping House groove and electrified bass line that drives the record hard, pushing the mix to the absolute limit. Before dropping into the track's golden moment, sampling the 1979 classic Disco cut 'I Don't Need No Music' by T.J.M, a gem of a record and one that encapsulates both Mark and Armand's love for classic cuts. Together, 'The Music Began To Play' is an instant classic in the making, masterful work from two of House Music's finest showing us how it's done.

I Believe In Love Again (Jex Opolis Remix Edit)

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future, as a seminal record from the Defected catalogue, Johnny Corporate’s ‘Sunday Shoutin’’, receives a remix from London-born multi-instrumentalist and house maverick TSHA. The legacy of the definitive underground house track ‘Sunday Shoutin’’ is vastly documented, with its unmistakeable saxophone loop still heard at clubs approaching 25 years later. Having already received remixes from the likes of Sonny Fodera, Harry Romero and Dr Packer, TSHA now joins the pantheon of house greats by delivering a transformative remix, cementing her status as one of electronic music’s most exciting innovators. After earning numerous Breakthrough Act awards in her early career to gracing the covers of Mixmag and DJ Mag, including features in Billboard, NME, Crack, Billboard, The Observer, and more, TSHA’s immense, international touring schedule continues to attract global crowds who come in droves for her flourishing sound, as heard in her long-awaited debut album ‘Capricorn Sun’ on Ninja Tune in 2023. Her highly anticipated remix of ‘Sunday Shoutin’’, recently teased in her Defected In The House! Ibiza stream which relaunched the iconic series, continues to showcase the fresh and bold sound of TSHA. Johnny Corporate’s original and explicit saxophone loop is initially swapped out for a brazen key-led take on the underground classic, set to dominate the scene for years to come.

[Verse 1]
Underneath the neon sky
It glows
It glows
I’m walking streets where the silence flows
Every shadow whispers
Calling your name
This city's alive
But it don't feel the same

[Prechorus]
Where are you hiding?
Are you somewhere near?
I keep on searching
But you’re never here

[Chorus]
Inner city lights
They burn so bright
But they can’t replace your touch tonight
I’m lost in the crowd
But I’m all alone
These streets are alive
But I need you home

[Verse 2]
Concrete rivers
They twist and turn
Each corner's a memory
Each light will burn
I see your face in every passing car
I chase your shadow
But you’re always far

[Bridge]
Tell me
Tell me
Why you’re so far away?
Is it the distance or the games we play?
I’m drowning in echoes
I’m fading in sound
This city's a maze
But you can't be found

[Chorus]
Inner city lights
They burn so bright
But they can’t replace your touch tonight
I’m lost in the crowd
But I’m all alone
These streets are alive
But I need you home
