Defected Miami 2018 CD

Since most of us don't get to spend a week partying in the South Beach sunshine, Defected's annual Miami-themed compilations are a godsend for DJs who are keen to stay ahead of the game. As with previous instalments, this year's edition features two mixed discs of tracks that Defected boss Simon Dunmore thinks will do this business in the months ahead. Naturally, there's plenty of slammers from Dunmore's stable of labels (see Ejeca's "Firework", the gospel disco/house fusion of Sophie Lloyd's "Calling Out", the Filter Freqs' party-starting hip-house jam "Master Blaster" and Mak and Pasteman's "I Need U"), alongside hotly-tipped cuts from the Hot Creations crew, Edinburgh jacking house merchants Dixon Avenue Basement Jams and Warners' dance imprint One More Tune.
