Together
An authentic and unique artist, SeeMeNot returns to Defected with her first original Defected release 'Together', following remixes from Jamie Jones, Deetron and Roman Flügel for her hypnotic label debut 'Borderline' in 2022. Initially spotlighted as one to watch by DJ Mag and Beatportal, the Jamaican-Canadian artist and storyteller's innate lyricism is apparent with her releases incorporating jazz, soul and hip-hop influences alongside the anonymous artist's ethereal vocals, creating unforgettable deep house and techno compositions that pay homage to the strength, wisdom and methodology of Black and Brown women who have gone before her. Now SeeMeNot unveils the much anticipated 'Together Part I', produced by Berlin underground talent Aaaron, an electronic artist who first made waves on the London label with early DFTD EPs 'Feelin This' and 'What Makes You Itch'. SeeMeNot's powerful and soulful vocals permeate 'Together Part I', as the two producers create an understated record that builds to a blinding climax thanks to a masterful variety of synth design and percussive ingenuity. What follows is 'Together Part II', with Kitty Amor delivering her inimitable brand of Afro house excellence that has culminated in the launch of her imprint Mahaba Music, features in Resident Advisor, Mixmag and DJ Mag, and support from genre champions Themba, Kid Fonque and DJEFF. With 'Together Part I' being the first release from her upcoming mixtape, expect big things from SeeMeNot and Defected in the near future. SeeMeNot 'Together' 1. SeeMeNot x Aaaron 'Together, Pt.

One of the OG Defected House Masters, Dennis Ferrer's relationship with the iconic London label is checkpointed by a vast number of innovative originals, guiding house through many eras from soul and gospel to Afro and techno. Now renowned as one of the instantly recognisable anthems of modern house and the Defected catalogue, 'Hey Hey' receives two Afro house remixes from Jack Back and Da Capo & Kitty Amor. One of electronic music's most recognisable artists, David Guetta created the Jack Back alias to return to his house roots, releasing the chart-topping Defected hit '(It Happens) Sometimes' in 2018. His remix of Dennis Ferrer's classic has been widely teased in his sets, including a DJ Mag livestream which resulted in a tidal wave of fan support; now the French titan presents the hotly anticipated 'Hey Hey', complete with pitched percussion steering us towards moments of tension and smooth, deep release. Up next on the package, South African producer Da Capo joins forces with a pioneer of the burgeoning UK Afro house scene, Mahaba Music label boss Kitty Amor. Together the pair create an unmissable take on the classic, presenting a brooding 'Hey Hey' that unfurls slowly to reveal growling, electronic rhythms that slice through the sound system with tenacity.
