As that well-known saying goes, “it does exactly as it says on the tin”. It's time those well sought-after DJ and production tools were dug out fresh from the Defected vaults. From upfront Ibiza anthems and label classics to straight up house joints and vocal stabs…they’re all here and ready to rock, featuring the accapellas of Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor ‘Groovejet’, Hilit Kolet ‘Techno Disco’, Ferreck Dawn X Jem Cooke ‘Back Tomorrow', Dames Brown featuring Andrés & Amp Fiddler ‘What Would You Do?’, Idris Elba & Inner City featuring Steffanie Christi’an ‘No More Looking Back’ plus much more.
