To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label’s storied past and the stars of its future as the three founders of Brazilian label Dogghauz, Mochakk, Jay Mariani and Cesar Nardini remix a Kings Of Tomorrow classic – ‘Finally’ featuring vocals from Julie McKnight.
Originally released in 2001, the hypnotic house master Sandy Rivera’s soulful hit helped put the recently launched Defected Records on the map, reaching #24 in the UK singles chart and remaining a record box essential for over two decades.
One of the industry’s hottest names, from releasing one of the biggest house tracks of 2023, ‘Jealous’, to performing B2B with Disclosure at Cercle Festival in 2024, Mochakk’s rise to success is nothing short of meteoric. Now, alongside his fellow Dogghauz label bosses Jay Mariani and Cesar Nardini, the trio add their signature touch to the seminal record – a sound that has seen them consistently reach the top of the Beatport charts in recent years. With its addictive bassline helping to forge a unique beat, this remix of ‘Finally’ builds in squelchy intensity before it descends into hard-hitting, synthy goodness.
