To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label’s past and the possible stars of its future as producer Cristoph collaborates with Defected House Master Sandy Rivera and vocalist Hayze for ‘Changes’.
Over the past 10 years, he has risen to possibly become one of dance music’s most in demand producers. Championed early in his career by Hot Since 82, to becoming Beatport’s #1 progressive house artist in 2023, the Geordie producer has collaborated with vocalists at every turn; this rise to success is signposted by Defected releases, from ‘Slowly Burning’ with Jem Cooke in 2015 to ‘Time’ with AWEN on DFTD in 2024.
DJ/producer and label boss Sandy Rivera has a vocal portfolio possibly envied by many - working with the likes of Mike Dunn, Rae, and Julie McKnight while also continuing to lift new artists with debut features and collabs.
Together, with vocalist Hayze, he updates Sandy’s 2005 release ‘Changes’ nearly 20 years on, creating a deep, brooding atmosphere.
Cristoph + Sandy Rivera + Hayze ‘Changes’ is out 9 August on Defected Records.
