Steve Juillet 2025

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 part of the series, a certified house classic from the Defected catalogue, Fish Go Deep’s 2005 anthem ‘The Cure & The Cause’ receives two remixes from Idris Elba and Atmos Blaq. After his 2020 Defected debut in collaboration with Inner City, ‘No More Looking Back’, British icon, DJ and actor Idris Elba’s relationship with the label continues to grow since headlining their highly anticipated The Warehouse Project show and Defected’s Miami Music Week showcase in 2023. Now the global A-lister steps up to remix a Defected classic nearly two decades after its original release, Fish Go Deep’s ‘The Cure & The Cause’ features percussive subtleties and instrumental flourishes that seem to ebb and flow around Tracey K’s soulful vocals; Elba takes these celebrated elements and adds a significant Afro electronic flair, with powerful drums and expansive synths building tension to create a defining club cut for the ages. Next up, a champion of electronic music in his native SA, Atmos Blaq infuses ‘The Cure & The Cause’ with a deep, pensive quality achieved through the subtle production work and precise instrumentation we have come to expect from the Soweto born producer.

We released Kevin McKay & Hotswing's "Club Mix" of Trapped in May. That pumping, feel-good mix hit the spot with tastemakers like John Morales, Erik Hagleton, Stacey Pullen, and K-Klass. Kevin's first take, however, was a deeper version, and with the sun out and Ibiza in full swing, now is the perfect time to release it. Lush disco percussion, smooth sub-bass and those delicious chords make the groove while J & The Rest's vocal struts majestically on top—a peach.

Ray Vissa lives and works in Frankfurt and Ibiza. He discovered his passion for music through Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode. After listening to tracks from these two bands, he wanted to create similar sounds. Thus, he started working with electronic music and eventually gravitated towards Acid and Techno, ultimately landing on House music. His love for Ibiza also influences his music, which he fondly refers to as Beach-House. He released his first works with Uptown Music, Stickman Records, and Edel Clubtools.
