The young Oxford-based DEE shows experience beyond her years in a smooth, funky-stepping hour of dance-floor focused house grooves.

Starting with a burst of euphoric, pumping vocal house, DEE lets the swing take a hold before Dale Howard’s Nasty menacing bass line surges forth and lets you know she means business. Skipping through familiar hooks like Wild Child’s Renegade Master bassline - given the 2025 treatment by Jordan Peak for dance music institution Defected Records - DEE sails into the flow with the cool charisma of peak festival season. 

Into the peak of the mix there’s no shortage of sexy drops, giving low end groove and 4 to the floor sway. Keeping the energy high with the wild synths of Marian’s Git The Light, DEE rolls on with syncopated bongos and shiningly clean off-beat hats to counter ever-chunkier basslines.

Moving into the last section, rolling bass and stomping kicks meet space age acid worbles in DEE’s own track Nevermind, an undeniable highlight of the mix, even in such esteemed company. Ending with the iconic sample from Yello’s Oh Yeah that seems to echo her attitude to the dance floor, DEE’s mix will have you in denial that summer is over as you groove away into the sunset.
