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.

Toolroom are immensely proud to present this very special remix where 2 legendary careers combine! Groove Armada have been releasing seminal, timeless dance music for over 20 years, with national chart topping singles and albums all over the Globe.

‘Get Down’ is considered one of the holy-grail records of their back catalogue so it’s an absolute honour for us, and Mark Knight, to be re-presenting this incredible record to a new audience. Toolroom founder Mark Knight jumped at the chance to get his hands on these parts and has delivered a rip-roaring, peak-time club version that is already ripping up dance floors for the likes of Danny Howard and Dombresky.

Fusing those unique vocals from Stush and classic Groove Armada synth line, coupled with the energy and insatiable groove of a Mark Knight record, this is a sure-fire dance floor weapon for 2024!

Toolroom’s very own Mark Knight continues his impressive string of collaborations here as Darius Syrossian appears alongside him for the first time on the label, and it’s safe to say we are very excited about this one! Darius is a long-standing respected figure on the underground house circuit, with a career spanning 2 decades, 2 Grammy nominations, Ibiza residencies galore and an army of ‘Moxy’ faithful’s that follow him to every club and festival he plays at.

Mark and Darius, along with studio maestro James Hurr, stumbled on this classic ‘Lets All Chant’ sample and together proceeded to write a peak-time, tech house slammer around it. Expect relentless energy here, lush vocal licks and that familiar 90’s sample – Definitely one to keep those dance floors rocking as we head towards the summer months!

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. On the latest release, Riva Starr joins forces with Hilit Kolet for ‘Twerq It’ featuring NEZ. No stranger to the Defected family, Riva Starr’s relationship with the label continues to blossom, following standout releases like ‘Love Divine’ and his celebrated Defected House Masters collection– not to mention standout performances at Defected’s flagship festival in Croatia and their Ibiza residency at Ushuaïa. 

Fast-rising London DJ and producer Hilit Kolet also has a history with the label, with Defected releasing her debut single ‘Techno Disco’ and its follow-up release ‘POV Siren’ on Faith marking her as a serious name to watch, before this year’s trio of singles ‘Hot Mess’, ‘Everything Is Amazing’ and ‘Snap Talk’ cemented her reputation as the producer behind the bleeding edge of 2024’s fiercest beats. Joining the two mercurial producers on vocal duty is Chicago artist NEZ, a house music maverick whose distinct flow has featured on collaborations with Moodymann, Eats Everything and HoneyLuv. The three have all carved out their own distinct lanes in house, and now they join forces for Defected’s Together series with ‘Twerq It’, a record built for the club, its sharp lyricism and addictively stripped-down worked to the bone rhythms delivering a modern masterclass in tension and release.

Toolroom founder Mark Knight teams up with Mr Roy on Something About U: 90s piano House anthem given a superb modern makeover. 

Mark Knight has proven a rare and wonderful breed of musical heavyweight. The second highest-selling Beatport artist of all time, he has releases on a diverse range of labels such as Suara, 1605, Stereo, Saved and of course his own Toolroom. 

Originally released in 1995 on Fresh Records, Something About You demonstrates Mark's ability to take an old school rave tune and rework it for a contemporary dancefloor, slowing the classic house record right down and adding in euphoria-inducing high pass filtering and short chopped vocal samples for texture. Add in those classic clap snares and offbeat hats and you have yourself a big room track that will have ravers' hands in the air wherever it's played.

Dropping just in time to catch the Ibiza closing parties, you can expect to hear this all over the White Isle not just this season, but for many more to come.
