One of the OG Defected House Masters, Dennis Ferrer’s relationship with the iconic London label is checkpointed by a vast number of innovative originals, guiding house through many eras from soul and gospel to Afro and techno.<br /><br />Now renowned as one of the instantly recognisable anthems of modern house and the Defected catalogue, ‘Hey Hey’ receives two Afro house remixes from Jack Back and Da Capo & Kitty Amor. One of electronic music’s most recognisable artists, David Guetta created the Jack Back alias to return to his house roots, releasing the chart-topping Defected hit ‘(It Happens) Sometimes’ in 2018. His remix of Dennis Ferrer’s classic has been widely teased in his sets, including a DJ Mag livestream which resulted in a tidal wave of fan support; now the French titan presents the hotly anticipated ‘Hey Hey’, complete with pitched percussion steering us towards moments of tension and smooth, deep release.<br /><br />Up next on the package, homegrown producer <a href="https://www.thinkinelectronic.com/2015/05/da-capo-signs-to-soulistic-music.html" target="_blank">Da Capo </a>joins forces with a pioneer of the burgeoning UK Afro house scene, Mahaba Music label boss Kitty Amor. Together the pair create an unmissable take on the classic, presenting a brooding ‘Hey Hey’ that unfurls slowly to reveal growling, electronic rhythms that slice through the sound system with tenacity.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><h2 style="text-align: left;"> </h2><iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="300" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1765068147&color=%23ff0072&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe><div style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Interstate, Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Garuda, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; line-break: anywhere; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap; word-break: normal;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/defectedrecords" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Defected Records">Defected Records</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/defectedrecords/sets/together-xxv-dennis-ferrer-hey-hey-remixes" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Together XXV: Dennis Ferrer - Hey Hey (Remixes)">Together XXV: Dennis Ferrer - Hey Hey (Remixes)</a></div>

He’s worked with icons such as <b>Justin Timberlake</b>, <b>Usher</b>, <b>N.E.R.D.</b> and <b>Lenny Kravitz</b> to name just a few. His performance on <b>ULTRA South Africa’s</b> main stage in 2016 blew the crowd away; expect Dash to bring energy levels to a peak at <b>ULTRA </b>in February.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>KSHMR</b> (pronounced Kashmir), real name Niles Hollowell-Dhar, was awarded "The Highest New Entry" on <b>DJ Mag's Top 100 </b>DJ list, and has since moved up 11 places this year to the No.12 spot.

A true modern icon in electronic music, Maya is a globally renowned DJ and producer who exemplifies the very essence of True Music; writing, engineering, arranging, mixing and performing all the elements within her tracks and refusing to compromise on her work at any stage. Nowhere will that be more evident than in her highly anticipated second album, due to launch in early 2017.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">With Maya at the helm, the True Music platform will travel across <b>South Africa</b>, Russia and Spain over the next five months. Along the way she will curate a remix EP from her upcoming 2017 album, working with her favourite True Music artists from each country, kicking off with <b>Culoe De Song </b>in South Africa. Each artist has been handpicked as they epitomise the philosophy of True Music in their work. The resulting EP will be a limited-edition vinyl and digital release. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Within each of these countries, major live-streamed events and content will be produced, allowing the world to tune in and see Maya work with these local artists to curate a night with True Music at its core, with a line-up featuring global and local artists.

Bonbon was first released in December of 2015 through Nesër's Youtube and quickly become a favourite racking up +30 million views. The video might have played a big part in getting Era noticed. It saw Istrefi showing off her killer dance moves on an idyllic snow-covered road in Brezovica, Kosovo wrapped up in a green parka jacket with bright pink fur (swoon) and makeup on fleek.

Almost 90 years later, some of the world’s best global producers and DJ’s discovered the archive and remixed the beats. The result: an extraordinary, uplifting ensemble rich in ambiance and tone. <i>This is Beating Heart</i>.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The core of the initiative is grounded in collaboration and connection, with a vision of sustainable culture.
