Starting this week and continuing throughout the rest of the 2012 season, Defected A&R and FINA label boss Simon Morell will be bringing you a selection of big tunes he’s heard while out and about on the White Isle.
You heard them here first (maybe)…
Tom Trago - Use Me Again (Carl Craig Mix)
Tom Trago’s massive disco cut gets the Carl Craig techno magic making it a sure fire hit across the board with everybody from Bob Sinclar to Luciano playing it.
PaperClip People - Throw (Slam Remix)
Slam re-touch a classic. This banger has been smashed by the likes of Heidi at Space and Luciano and Pete Tong on the Pacha floor.
Flashmob - Need In Me
The Ibiza anthem of 2012 so far. Flashmob’s ‘Need In Me’ can be heard in every bar and all the clubs across the White Isle. Ralph Lawson liked it so much he played it twice at his 2020 Sonar party.
Saschienne - Unkown (Dixon Mix)
Dixon does what he does best on this underground smash, Proper house for people that know. Innervisions crew smashing it at the opening of We-Love and Dixon himself on the Dc10 terrace.
Chopstick and JohnJon - Listen
Suol is a label that can do no wrong in my eyes , and this track has everybody on the underground hot under the collar and the girls smiling with its infectious disco groove.
Monty Luke - Yesterday & Today
Sandy Rivera dropped this deep roller twice at Defected In The House on Saturday and it went off big time of both occasions. One to watch as the season progresses for sure…
Aminee Edge - Going to Heaven with the Goodie Goodie
Sampling Biggie’s ‘Hold Ya Head’ makes it a firm favourite with the Soul Clap boys who dropped this underground bumper during their first Circo Loco set of 2012.
Kevin Saunderson - Future (MK AW Dub Mix)
Old skool vibes from the master, MK strips Kevin Saunderson’s massive ‘Future’ back and keeps it simple with a groove that has everybody shaking their thang from Pacha to Sankeys and DC10.
Whitney Huston - I Wanna Dance with Somebody
Bit of a curve ball and a nod to a lost diva, Ricardo Villalobos has either lost his mind or is crazed genius but with this track he had the whole of Cocoon’s terrace singing in unison and waving their hands like it was 1987.
Heaven Only Knows - (Mowgli Vox Remix)
Mr Dunmore lead the way by dropping this Defected hit… expect Mowgli’s rework to be smashed more and more as the season rolls on..
