We Are Defected-This Is Our House (4CD)

Green Velvet: “House music is all about dancing. House should make people want to dance.” Whether it’s with mainstream anthems like ‘Hey Hey’ by Dennis Ferrer or underground classics such as Chicken Lips’ ‘He Not In’, our ethos for the past 17 years has always been to make people dance. Defected is diverse, constantly moving forward, whilst also acknowledging our history and the records that make us who we are today.

For our latest compilation, ‘We Are Defected – This Is Our House’ – Defected’s most definitive records have been collected together for the very first time, providing the ultimate soundtrack for both house music connoisseurs and newcomers to the sound. From thumping kick drums to luscious chords, mixed with infectious basslines and jacking percussion – our style moves your body, soothes your soul and helps wash away your problems.

Over five hours, we take a journey through the various aspects of our output, with side one kicking things off with festival anthems from the likes of Blaze, Storm Queen and Pirupa. Before side two gives a nod to some of our all-time classics – including MK’s ‘Burning’, ‘Coma Cat’ by Tensnake and the evergreen ‘God Made Me Phunky’.
On side three we go truly underground – ‘Rej’ by Ame,  Carl Craig’s remix of ‘El Solitario’ by Guti and Maya Jane Coles’ stunning take on 4th Measure Man’s ‘4 You’ just some of the records taking you deeper into our back catalogue. Fast-forward to a selection of our more recent releases, side four showcases cutting-edge slices of house from Lee Walker, Mr. G, Purple Disco Machine and many more. With 60 tracks, ‘We Are Defected: This Is Our House’ is a house music collection you need in your life.
