Starting with my Drivetime show additions this week:
Lighter by A7S x David Guetta x Wizkid has been added, it’s a very chilled and laid back track by Guetta’s standards but it’s a great track. If you think it’s a very “Ed Sheeran” sounding track, you’d be spot on. “We had a chorus and a verse, but something was missing – a strong pre-chorus,” A7S explains. “So we asked Ed Sheeran if he’d be up for it. He sent us back a voice memo, and I was instantly hooked: ‘wo o oo anytime any place I’ll be there for you babe’.” It’s not what you know….etc.
‘Old Friend’ brings a new emotional depth to Robin Schulz’s signature sound – a summery yet introspective deep house collaboration with Australian artist CLOVES.
Powerhouse producer and nightlife visionary Manolo (aka Manny Ferreiros)—the driving force behind HQ2 Nightclub in Atlantic City, currently ranked the #13 nightclub in the world—has teamed up with legendary vocalist Sandy B, best known for her iconic dance hit “Make the World Go Round.” The new track is Day & Night and gets released on July 18, 2025.
Tommy Vee, Mauro Ferrucci, Keller are back with the track INSIDE (AT NIGHT). They are the producer’s behind iconic tracks like Moony’s “Dove” and “I Don’t Know Why”, DB Boulevard’s “Point of View”, and Roy Malone’s legendary “King of My Castle” remix, now they’re back. Why? Because House is having a moment—and they know how to own it. This track was PREMIERED BY CARL COX @ UNVRS OPENING IN IBIZA*
A certified Defected classic, ‘Bad Habit’ by ATFC featuring Lisa Millett is remixed by Clüb De Combat. Originally released in 2000, ‘Bad Habit’ quickly became one of the label’s signature tracks, leading to a slew of re-releases and remixes – most notably from Armin Van Buuren in the same year.
PS1 x MINUI – Make U Mine is an uptempo dance tune with emotive vocals and a tribal rhythm. I like it, lots. It gets released on Perfect Havoc on July 4, 2025
A powerhouse collaboration arrives on Defected as BLOND:ISH, Moby and Kiko Franco come together for ‘Natural Blues’. Natural Blues’ is a uniting of three experts in their field; Moby’s signature, sample-led sound is underpinned by upbeat piano patterns, complimented by BLOND:ISH’s complex production skills, while Kiko Franco’s monumental use of Afro house percussion and synth leads maximises the pre-drop tension.
Dutch DJ/producer Steff da Campo, once ranked #11 most played DJ in the world, teams up with Robbie Mendez for a club rework of their hit “Cry Just a Little.” Reviving the iconic hook, they transform the original with driving bass lines and hard kicks, delivering a high-energy twist that’s perfect for today’s dancefloors and sure to ignite crowds everywhere.
