To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative release series: Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future, as bona fide House heavyweight Hot Since 82 makes his Defected debut with ‘Preach’, featuring Chicago house legend Ron Carroll. Listen here.
The DJ and producer has established himself as one of the UK’s leading tastemakers and House music authorities for over two decades, with his acclaimed Knee Deep In Sound imprint hosting releases from artists at the very forefront of where Electronic Dance music is heading, since the release of the personal LP Recovery, which captured the attention of top music outlets, Hot Since 82 has consistently brought his unmistakable sound to the global stage with longstanding residencies at Music On, Jamie Jones’ Paradise, and his wildly successful label parties.
The producer returns to his Vocal House roots alongside certified House music icon Ron Carroll for his highly anticipated Defected Records debut. ‘Preach’ is bursting with energy that continually builds and loops in ecstasy as vocals, taken from an acclaimed Soulfuric release by Shawn Christopher, bestow a sonically religious experience like only two genre giants can.
