With the Miami Winter Music Conference and all the decadent debauchery it brings with it just around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to give you a heads up on what we think are going to be some of the week’s major anthems.


Olav Basoski – New Day

Surely one of the most charted house tracks of the last few weeks, New Day is an utterly unashamedly feel-good track of the highest order and a return to the orignal house sound that Defected has championed for more than a decade. Destined to go global after the WMC and hang around well into the forthcoming Ibiza season, it marks the start of summer and leaves you with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

Nouveau Yorican – Chiuso (Chocolate Puma Remix)

Late last year, the original mix of Chiuso marked the joining of Laidback Luke and Gina Turner in a orgy of creative production, the result of which was Chiuso; one of the most original and arresting tracks of 2010. Now, Chocolate Puma have got their highly skilled hands on it, and have transformed it into an instant dancefloor weapon.

Bass Kleph & Flithy Rich – These Mornings

Re-launching a label with a musical heritage as rich as Azuli’s was never going to be an easy task, but this first release allays any fears that some of the creative juices might have dried up in the interim. These Mornings is hooky, driving, uplifting and funky; everything you need to dance your suntanned ass off on South Beach.

Kings Of Tomorrow feat. April ‘Take Me Back’ (Simon Mattson's Deep Mix)

With ‘Take Me Back’, Sandy Rivera created a bona fide modern-day classic, with April’s stunning voice helping to produce as genuine and heartfelt a record as he has ever made. Simon Mattson’s version focuses on a single hook of the vocal, twisting driving drums and sublime synths around its infectiously powerful groove; trust us, this will be HUGE over the coming months.

4th Measure Men – 4 U (2001 and One Remix)

Nearly 20 years ago MK – recording under the 4th Measure Men alias – created one of the most instantly recognisable hooks in house music. 2001 and One has now put all the experience of his two decades in the game to produce his own spin on the record, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. You won’t have to go far in Miami this year to here this one…
