Various Artists - EP17 [Defected]

Defected’s vinyl series continues its commitment to pressing the label’s biggest digital hits to vinyl format, delivering the very best house music previously unavailable on the format. This seventeenth edition compiles four essential releases from the first half of 2023. Kicking off the compilation, Grammy-nominated producer and Saved Records boss Nic Fanciulli revisits his Skylark alias on his remix of A’Studio’s ‘SOS’ featuring Polina, keeping the original’s vibrant, infectious feel and taking dancers long into the night. Next, BBC Radio 1’s Dance Future Star and one of DJ Mag’s One To Watch artists for 2023, Parisian DJ and producer Chloé Caillet delivers a remix of a dancefloor essential, bringing her energetic French flair and disco-inspired sound to Tensnake’s ‘Coma Cat’ a bonafide classic. On the B-Side, the humble House Master Harry Romero updates ‘Revolution’, a powerful modern Jersey-style jam layering a familiar vocal loop over firm percussion. Closing out this massive collection is the highly anticipated Defected debut from the founder of respected Amsterdam label PIV; Prunk lays down his signature addictive grooves on ‘Keep It Simple’ featuring Poland-based Rona Ray on vocals.
