Dennis Ferrer recently announced the launch of brand-new NYC-born imprint Thriftshoppe, working alongside Defected Records. With the label, Ferrer intends to disrupt the contemporary musical landscape by committing to authentic craftsmanship of "luxury, one-of-a-kind sonic treasures."
Dennis Ferrer: “The time was right for a change of direction. I needed to revisit the musicality of it all rather than try and ride or predict the next hype. With that mindset, stepping back to the origins of properly written songs and melodies meant taking a step forward. So, to put it plainly, Thriftshoppe is the vehicle for change for me and, hopefully, others who share this vision."
The label sets out to ‘re-introduce the world to the magic of slow burners and future classics’. 'Fit Check,' its debut record, comes from Nasser Baker and drops 19 July.
Nasser Baker: “Having my sister and my cousin on vocal duties made this record fun for me. I hope it translates.”
Following his 2024 releases on Defected and RAWthentic, 'Fit Check' showcases the producer, featuring original vocals to create a vibey, club-ready outing, with production choices exemplifying the label’s core values.
Dennis Ferrer: “Occasionally, a record comes along that makes you throw your hands up and dance. 'Fit Check' is currently that record for me."
With Dennis at the core of the label's A&R, it focuses on sustainability and longevity and vows to remain unbothered by genre expectations or hype.
Nasser Baker ‘Fit Check’ will be released via Thriftshoppe on 19 July.
