First up on Defected Record’s new breakout imprint DFTD is the Hope EP from Guti, a stunning Balearic cut from the Argentinean artist who has previously released his outstanding material on heavyweight labels like Cadenza, Desolat, Crosstown Rebels, Supplement Facts and more. The title track ‘Hope’ has been created with the White Isle in mind, featuring a warm bottom end and the intoxicating use of the vocal from Jason Hates Jazz’s ‘Pray For Love’. This much lauded track has been a staple of Guti’s sets for some time now and is finally seeing a fitting summer release. Also on the EP is ‘La Casa’, a track co-produced with Fosky. The bass and kick work effortlessly together, and the piano hook layered on top is quintessentially Guti. Last up is ‘Funkapella’, a record that Pete Tong has been championing heavily on his Radio One show. This is the peak time moment on the EP and features a filtered down vocal and a seriously heavy low end groove.
