Acclaimed producer Jack Back and Afro house pioneer THEMBA unite for 'Give Me Something To Hold' on Defected, joining the London label's extra special 25th anniversary series Together. David Guetta created the Jack Back alias to return to his house roots, quickly building a strong relationship with the London label thanks to the chart-topping Defected hit '(It Happens) Sometimes', then releasing a highly anticipated remix of label staple, Dennis Ferrer's 'Hey Hey' in 2024, showcasing his fresh Afro house inspired sound. Now the French titan joins forces with THEMBA, a prolific South African DJ who has brought his unique take on electronic music to the world since 2018. From explosive early releases like 'Who Is THEMBA?' to remixing works from Vintage Culture, Kerri Chandler and Bob Sinclar, THEMBA's meteoric rise to success has culminated in sets with Black Coffee at Hï Ibiza, cementing him as one of the biggest touring artists out of the continent. Now, in 2024, the two powerhouses come together for the hypnotic club cut 'Give Me Something To Hold' on Defected, as THEMBA's modern, Afro electronic rhythms work with Jack Back's melodically engaging production, complete with arresting vocals that build tension in all the right places.

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.

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.
