One half on Masters at Work – the legendary Kenny Dope drops Dope Jams, a collection of slick beats compiled, mixed and cut up as only the original beat master can. On the week of the release of the mix and specially made collection of Kennys edits, we caught up with him to talk about his aversion to downloading tracks, his recent health issues and why he doesn’t mind being interviewed any more.

Launching into the mix with characteristic energy, Morillo joins the dots between the past, present and future, blending brand new mixes of Strictly benchmarks like Underground Solution\'s Luv Dancin and Hardrive\'s Deep Inside together with upfront exclusives including four new tracks now picked up by Strictly and featured here for the very first time on a comp, namely Chris Montanas Speed Of Life, Leventinas Nightshift, Nicos Diorio Shop along with Afrojacks Radio Man all will be brought to wider consciousness as part of the Strictly Erick Morillo album campaign. If thats not plenty enough, two further new Subliminal productions, a brand new Morillo mix of the track Life Goes On from Erick and Richard Grey with Shawnee Taylor and another from one of Subliminals founding producers, Harry Choo, with the Jose Nunez mix of Cumbia are included, bringing this album to the attention of the wider Morillo and Subliminal community. The result Erick describes as kind of not what Strictly was, but where Strictly is going. The mix is a very sexy showcase of the peak time dance floor moments audiences can typically expect from one of his current live performances containing all the influences that have inspired him on his travels from House to Minimal with even a little trance thrown in for good measure that are all Strictly. well, Erick Morillo, of course.

Defected Records premier compilation series is now in its 26th edition with close to a million sales. This new release gets the inimitable mix treatment by two of the UKs principal producers, an outfit that effortlessly bridges the gap between popular culture and the underground. Ever since Lolas Theme gripped the UK charts in 2004 in a proverbial headlock, the guys have been at the forefront of the international House scene. As well as its UK No.1 spot it also topped the dance charts in America and Europewide defining the Shapeshifters as true International Artists. The duo recently became Defected Records newest Artists and have been awarded the task of mixing the next in series of the respected IN THE HOUSE comps, on which they deliver their own unique twist. Simon Marlin says, I believe the compilation sets out our stall as to where the Shapeshifters are at right now, musically and the groove we are on. the Shapeshifters In the House is available now on i-Tunes and Music stores world wide digitally and on 3 x CD

Axwell, Bob Sinclar and Ron Carroll, Wow, now that\'s a line up - a swedish mafiosa, a french hit master and Chicago\'s Big Ron! Nope this isn\'t the scene from a gangster flick, its 3 of dance music biggest Dons coming together on one track and boy this is Epic. Pete Tong Essential new tune and a Zane Lowe record of the week - plus the dozens of plays amongst the 2 on Radio One is an indicator of just how fast this single is blazin\' up the airwaves. It don\'t stop there though, after just 4 weeks on import promo a selection of house music\'s busy DJs have taken this to anthem status and its not difficult to see why. But hey, you know we never hype here at Defected towers, we let the music take care of that.Check out this behind the scenes inetrview.

Over the past 3 years, Dirty South has grown from Aussie legend to carve a prominent name for himself in the dance music industry, impressing the international circuit of DJs, media and music lovers alike with his blistering productions. His remixing credits include Depeche Mode, Mark Ronson, Tracey Thorn, Tiesto and Fedde Le Grande and with previous singles he is the recipient of 2 'Essential New Tunes' on Radio One , he is THE purveyor of Peak time mayhem. 'Let it Go' has been heating up international dance floors since the end of 2007 where it became a crossover hit in numerous territories. Over the last few months that support has taken hold in the UK, scorching the floors of our best loved underground clubs - and now fully established as a cross over anthem in the High St clubs. Originating from Axtone records, where label boss Axwell added an exceptional remix which has simply taken this package to another level. Now translating effortlessly from dance floor to radio, this iconic crowd rousing anthem complete with rock injected knarly vocals, is ready to stake claim on the UK Airwaves.

A New home for The Shapeshifters and a debut on Defected Records. No arguing that this duo's contribution to Dance music has been very healthy and this 1st single has definitely got the dance floor hyped. Chime, Orbital's seminal rave classic from 89 gets a complete rework ShapeShifters style and this is serious, no I mean SERIOUS. A record that truly united the dance floors back at the inception of dance music's mighty climb and as we clock up 20 years of that rise of music and culture, this revisit is a monumental moment. Bringing this gem squarely in to the naughties is a killer remix from Martijn Ten Velden that has already started to stake its claim as summer No.1 on Ibiza's big floors, Pacha, Space and more, a potent peak time weapon and 2nd time future classic, this sleeping giant is firmly back for heavy rotation.
