British icon, DJ and actor Idris Elba returns to Defected with the fiery house heater 'La Trumpeta'. The homegrown DJ turned global A-lister first released with the label in 2020 with 'No More Looking Back' in collaboration with Inner City, and in the following years the demand for more Idris culminated in headline slots at Defected's events at The Warehouse Project and Miami Music Week. This new single comes hot on the heels of his remix of 'The Cure & The Cause', adding significant Afro electronic flair to the 2006 Defected anthem. Now he unveils his first solo original track with the London label, 'La Trumpeta', showcasing Idris' signature global sound in full force; a powerful Latin trumpet solo dominates, signalling the arrival of pounding four on the floor breakdowns that have major club appeal. Expect more to come from the powerhouse pairing that is Defected and Idris in 2024.

Defected is proud to revisit the legendary Todd Edwards catalogue with the fourth instalment of his House Masters Remixes, adding Majestic, Harry Romero, Soul Clap and Jay Robinson to the impeccable collection of house and garage artistry. Released in 2021, Todd's original compilation demonstrated his approach to experimentation in its full glory; his entirely new sound, born from chopped up samples and vocal clips, helped birth the UK Garage genre while giving the American-born producer major underground credibility. Ever since those pioneering releases in the 90s, Todd has continued to inspire artists around the world, artists like Alex Mills whose glossy vocals feature on the new release spearheading the collection, 'Wishing I Were Home'. This unreleased original shows Todd's signature skippy style in full-flow, also receiving a remix from Platinum-selling producer Majestic, whose old skool influences blend with bassline-heavy house for an uplifting take on the new classic. Next up, fellow Defected House Master Harry Romero adds a New Jersey bounce to Todd's vocoder-heavy 'I Might Be', before experimental production duo Soul Clap deliver two club remixes of 'Winter Behavior'. DJ and producer Jay Robinson's synth-laden version of 'Can't You Believe?' closes out this bold collection of house and garage mainstays. Todd Edwards 'House Masters Remixes, Pt. 4' 1.

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. As part of the series, a certified house classic from the Defected catalogue, Fish Go Deep's 2005 anthem 'The Cure & The Cause' receives two remixes from Idris Elba and Atmos Blaq. After his 2020 Defected debut in collaboration with Inner City, 'No More Looking Back', British icon, DJ and actor Idris Elba's relationship with the label continues to grow since headlining their highly anticipated The Warehouse Project show and Defected's Miami Music Week showcase in 2023. Now the global A-lister steps up to remix a Defected classic nearly two decades after its original release, Fish Go Deep's 'The Cure & The Cause' features percussive subtleties and instrumental flourishes that seem to ebb and flow around Tracey K's soulful vocals; Elba takes these celebrated elements and adds a significant Afro electronic flair, with powerful drums and expansive synths building tension to create a defining club cut for the ages. Next up, a champion of electronic music in his native SA, Atmos Blaq infuses 'The Cure & The Cause' with a deep, pensive quality achieved through the subtle production work and precise instrumentation we have come to expect from the Soweto born producer.

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. 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.
