The Defected Miami albums have championed the best of underground house music
for over a decade, bringing together material from rising stars and established
artists alike, to highlight the most exciting upcoming records. ‘Defected
Miami 2019’ continues the tradition of forecasting the records that will
soundtrack the Miami Winter Music Conference, a seamlessly mixed collection of
tracks that usually goes on to remain playlist fixtures for
tastemaker DJs throughout the summer.
For those of us not lucky enough to be visiting the Sunshine State for WMC, the
compilation dives straight in with the summer-ready vibes. Highlights from the
Defected stable include Mattei & Omich featuring Keyo ‘I’ll House U’,
Low Steppa’s ‘You’re My Life’ and the thunderous OFFAIAH remix of Jack
Back’s ‘(It Happens) Sometimes’. As is tradition with the previous Miami
compilations, the release also brings underground heat from other major
dance music imprints, with Ninja Tune providing the massive I:Cube Remix of
Peggy Gou’s ‘It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)’ and Rebūke’s ‘Along Came
Polly’ from Hot Creations.
‘Defected Miami 2019’ provides sounds from every corner of the dance music
spectrum, from Todd Edwards’ garage smash ‘You’re Sorry’ to the spirited
disco of Horse Meat Disco and Amy Douglas’ ‘Let’s Go Dancing’. From
Folamour to Fiorious, and Sven Tasnadi to DJ Sneak ‘Defected Miami 2019’ is
a carefully curated collection of records that provides any discerning listener
with the tracks certain to become the defining records of the summer
