Following the success of their ‘Earl’ EP on Switzerland’s Hive Records, Berlin-based House staple Oliver $ reunites with Swiss Jazz House aficionado Jimi Jules to bring their anticipated debut release on Defected. ‘Pushing On’ opens with an infectious percussive medley composed of tropical triangles and melodious 808-like cowbells. With the gradual introduction of the moody, Frankie Knuckles inspired, bass line and tailing piano chords, the track slowly transforms into an energetic homage to classic Chicago House. Quick to take centre stage the track also features dusky vocal samples from Quantic Soul Orchestra, merging effortlessly with the wispy cymbal crashes, the song’s title and central lyrical theme, “Pushing On”, falls and confidently rises to drive the track to its spirited climax. And for those who don’t want the vocals there’s a dub thrown in for good measure. Already household names in their home countries, ‘Pushing On’ is sure set to solidify Oliver $ and Jimi Jules as international House providers.

‘Mvinline’ samples the all-time classic from Black Ivory, and is a disco house pumper that came out during lockdown, which finally got the reaction it deserved when he played it at @defectedcroatia earlier this year.

'Heaven', originally released in 2019, served as a benchmark for what modern house music is. The essential record from Ben Westbeech and KON's The Vision project dominated stages around the world, receiving support from a plethora of top house artists; Gerd Janson, Danny Krivit, Horse Meat Disco, The Blessed Madonna, Groove Armada and Eli Escobar to name just a few. 

'Heaven' went on to be remixed by Nightmares On Wax and Mousse T., cementing The Vision as ones to watch in the coming years. Now, one of the UK's most respected and diverse house DJs and producers Groove Assassin takes on the debut release, featuring MOBO nominated artist and Westbeech's longtime collaborator Andreya Triana. The prolific selector, remixer and producer interpolates warmly familiar music from house legends to form 'Hallelujah In Heaven', a stomping, rough cut of house and an example of excellence in the genre.

Delivering yet another uplifting house stomper destined to populate the airwaves of Ibiza, Croatia and all discerning dance festivals across the summer this year, Benji Candelario has a soulful summer hit with ‘You Got Me’, delivered in two versions, a ‘Groove Rendition’ and ‘Late Night Strut Mix’. Canadian house vocalist Lisa Shaw lends her silky tones, airing out Benji’s sumptuously layered production with a memorable and breathless melody. 

Benji Candelario’s legendary credentials in house music extend over the past two decades, from the world of labels and A&R to creating instant classic records. Here he demonstrates his flawless ear for creating impossibly smooth, timeless tracks with real versatility. The ‘Groove Rendition’ acts as the daylight version to the ‘Late Night Strut’ which pulses with starlit electricity. Either way, any time of day, ‘You Got Me’ gets better with every listen.

Long-time friend of Defected and certified house legend Sandy Rivera flexes his club banger credentials in this soft but tough new track. Otherwise known as Kings Of Tomorrow, Sandy’s fruitful two-decade-long history with Defected is well known, and long may it continue when the relationship brings forth gems like this. ‘Try A Little Tenderness’ features Sandy’s obligatory commanding vocal hook, accompanied by a snarling, earth-shuddering bass. Unassuming but destined to do some serious damage across the summer and beyond – get this in your playlists immediately.

To have the support of Moodyman there has to be a something a little bit special about you, and with Obas Nenor that is certainly the case. The Tel-Avivian producer has released on a number of top labels including Heist Recordings, and Moodyman’s own Mahogani Music. This time it’s Defected’s turn to welcome Obas to the label with the incredible ‘My Intuition’. The track instantly grabs you with the deep rolling bassline and has your full attention by the time Jenny Penkin comes in with her smooth soulful vocal, and as if that wasn’t enough the synth stabs and chunky percussion, which is so typical of Obas’ style, complete this track which has us reliving our memories of summer.

Time To Get Physical

Nice 7 - time to get physical (Sonny Fodera remix)

Defected Records are proud to present a label debut from two of dance music’s most exciting and influential acts. With its deep tribal drums, jacked-up beat and Strictly Rhythm vocal sample ‘Rushing’ is a perfect amalgamation of Jamie Jones and Darius Syrossian’s styles, making an impressive inaugural release as a pair. With Jamie heading up Paradise, now on its eighth consecutive year at DC10, and Darius holding down a number of residencies including Do Not Sleep, now at Amnesia for its fifth season, there is no doubt this record will be an Ibiza anthem. ‘Rushing’ is a prime example of how both these artists have reached such calibre, with an irresistible beat and slick groove that make it an essential tune for this summer and beyond.
