This months Defected In The House has a twist.
Not only is the finest House DJ around performing
Sandy Rivera (you'll hear more about him in a
second) but we are also excited to announce a
legendary personal appearance by none other than
the soul diva herself Lisa Millet.
If you have to think twice to figure out what
this legendary Diva has achieved, think ATFC 'Bad
Habit' and the follow up single 'Sleep Talk'.
These tracks have become classics amongst classics.
It doesn't stop there... she's also put her vocal
talents to the LabRats' revamp of Patty LaBelle's
'Music Is My Way Of Life' as well as countless
other collaborations. This is a big deal for Defected
as she is hard to pin down. She is making a special
effort for us by deferring her visit to the Miami
music conference. This is a rare chance to see
this fantastic vocalist LIVE.
Right now, about Sandy Rivera... Last month he
came to our rescue out of nowhere! Junior Jack
fell ill with no less that 5 stomach ulcers, he
couldn't make his album launch appearance.
This was a potential disaster until Sandy stepped
in. He played with Simon Dunmore's records until
someone was sent to fetch his! Not only is he
a King of Tomorrow, but today he is
our Defected hero.
This brings us to Full Intention. These guys have
come a long way. Mike Gray and Jon Pearn are DJ's
and remixers extraordinaire. They have maintained
their status as some of the foremost house producers
in the world. Some of their recent remixes and
productions include George Michael - Amazing,
Mood 2 Swing - Can't get away, Junior Jack - E
Samba, Sugarbabes - Hole in the head, Powerhouse
- I got what you need, Ultra Nate - Free, Jennifer
Lopez - Love don't cost a thing and Frankie Knuckles
- Tears. What more do we need to say about this
duo, their discography says it all. Their DJ style
is funky and tough and they will ignite the ministry
main room.
The fun doesn't stop there. In the bar we have
the up and coming DJ's Dan Smith and Conan Manchester
who are better known as Liquid People. These guys
are talented producers who met, just as any good
DJ's should, In A Club. They promise to sweeten
the Ministry bar with
'good house music with a hip-hop attitude'.
Joining them is Spencer Parker who is one of dance
music's hidden talents. He has been
a Ministry resident and Defected In The House
Tour DJ for a long time and no one knows
how to rock the crowd better than him.
Darren Crook makes his debut today as the first
in a series of Defected In The House New Faces.
We recognise that there is a great deal of up
and coming talent out there and Darren has seriously
impressed us with his recent mixes. He is a talented
19 year old that regularly works with Sandy Rivera
and Simon Dunmore in the studio. Watch this face.
Love all the heads at Defected.
