Butch returns to Defected alongside songwriter and vocalist Life On Planets with ‘Get High With You’. His 2023 release ‘I Want You’ with Nic Fanciulli was apparently one of Defected’s most celebrated, and in 2025 he returned to the London label, remixing Duck Sauce’s ‘Fallin In Love’ which charted in the Beatport top 10 and was supported by Danny Howard, Arielle Free and Sarah Story on BBC Radio 1.
Life On Planets landed on sister label Classic Music Company in 2023 alongside Lubelski with ‘Mercury In Retrograde’, a release showcasing the multi-instrumentalist’s soulful vocals and songwriting skills.
Life On Planets: “I’ve been a fan of Butch for some time now, playing his music in my sets. When I heard his remix of my tune ‘Downstream’ I was honoured! I reached out to say thanks and see if he would wanna collab and he sent me ‘Get High With You’. After working with him I have even more respect for him, watching and hearing his dedication to making sure every element of the groove is perfect.”
The two artists now come together on the label, after Butch remixed Life On Planets’ ‘Downstream’ with Makèz.
This latest release shows a reverence for the noughties, but modern harmonic progressions and production choices propel the record into 2025 and beyond.
Life On Planets: “I love that ‘Get High With You’ sounds both classic and modern at the same time. I have enjoyed dropping it in my sets and riffing over top on my guitar; it always gets an incredible response so I am elated that the world will get to have it soon!”
Butch Feat. Life On Planets ‘Get High With You’ is out 11 April on Defected Records.
