Copyright feat Andre Espeut – Lifted

Don't overlook this killer from Defected. Not so much for the A-side Lifted itself, though. That's a big room, driving houser with soulfully-inclined male vocal exhortations to lift your hands up… it's okay, but nothing that special.

Which is why I say don't overlook this, because if you'll do you'll miss out on both Sometimes, a deeper house cut with tuff, rolling drums, samples from the same vocal Moby used on Honey and parping sax, and most importantly the Pablo Fierro Remix of Lifted, which drops deeper and adds a stonking great fuck-off Robin S-style organ line. And makes itself an unmissable purchase while it's doing it.

Defected might not be the hippest label to be biggin' up but I don't care – made by a pair of true UK house and garage legends and given a polish by one of the best of Europe's new wave, this is a genuine bomb.

Out: This week
