Deep Down and Defected is the first Defected compilation series dedicated to championing the re-emergence of the deep house sound that has taken the dance music scene by storm in recent years.
To get the idea of what the compilation is all about, look no further than the title: Deep Down & Defected is exactly that; back rooms rather than main rooms, basements rather than beach clubs, basslines rather than breakdowns. This compilation epitomises the sound that Defected have been backing for a year now and is perfect for those of you who like things to get a little grimy on the dancefloor.
Unmixed and DJ friendly, this first, digital edition features 30 of the hottest deep house tracks and remixes around, plus two bonus mixes from the master selector himself, Andy Daniell; perfect for both party peaking and winding things down. Comprising fusions of driving beats, dissonant melodies, ambient vocals and sonic suspensions, Deep Down and Defected captures the smooth, stylish and effortlessly chic demeanour that defines the deep house sound. Rarely reaching a climax and always digging that little bit deeper, these groves are sure to get you movin’ deep down and dirty.
Here you’ll find tracks from some of the game’s leading luminary including Tensnake, Pirupa, Huxley, Nick Curly, Hot Since 82, Solomon, Chez Damier, Flashmob, Deetron, MK, Eats Everything, Maya Jane Coles, Jamie Jones and Steve Bug. And not forgetting, of course, the appearance of Chicken Lips’ game-changer ‘He Not In’. With inimitable bassline that was way ahead of its time, it is of no surprise that nine years on, its currently a favourite on the deep house DJ circuit; a timeless classic indeed.
Deep Down and Defected is out 5th November
