#86 Top Releases in Nu Disco / Disco

GRAMMY Award winning producer and Classic label boss Luke Solomon releases his highly anticipated House Masters compilation on Defected, showcasing the passion of an artist who pours everything he has into his definitive records. Luke's latest contributions to two of 2022's most anticipated albums, from Beyoncé and Honey Dijon, are a testament of his technical prowess as an artist, and the upcoming coveted 35-track compilation places Luke alongside legends Frankie Knuckles, Masters at Work and DJ Gregory, presenting a musical journey of un-edited and un-mixed tracks from the producer's illustrious three-decade career. From his ground-breaking work as part of the legendary Powerdance collective, 'A Safe & Happy Place', to his work with Justin Harris as Freaks, with their single 'The Creeps' catapulting them into the UK charts, Luke's earlier works span the spectrum from warm, deep grooves to boisterous dark room techno. Recent remixes made alongside long-time collaborator and trailblazer Honey Dijon feature alongside fresh originals, including the expertly crafted funk house release with Detroit icon Amp Fiddler, 'Come On Over'. No matter what moniker he produces under on this unmissable collection, Luke Solomon always showcases his raw talent - earning his spot as a Defected House Master.
