With all our labels outdoing themselves with the exceptional releases this summer, we thought we’d take a moment to appreciate what’s always at the heart of what we do – the music. Take a look at the upcoming tracks you have to look forward to and familiarise yourself with our current favourite records…

Now, after teasing his mix to eager crowds at Defected Croatia and his many festival gigs over the summer, Purple Disco Machine gives a masterclass in transformative remixing, lending his disco-tinged sound to ‘Joys’. Moving away from the grittier original, the rubbery bassline and melodic keys of Purple Disco Machine’s remix have universal dancefloor appeal. He's only gone and done it again!
