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. Kicking off with a release from three electronic powerhouses, all with their own respective relationships with the East London label, Hannah Wants, Sam Divine and Jem Cooke deliver ‘Cruel Intentions’ to launch the series. With Sam Divine, one of Defected’s longest-running residents, radio show host and continual star of the label’s roster, Hannah Wants who is a firm favourite of Defected shows across the globe with a string of recent hits on the label, and Jem Cooke, one of house’s most in demand vocalists and songwriters, this dynamic trio deliver an unmissable launch single. Having regularly DJ’d alongside each other while being good friends off the circuit, ‘Cruel Intentions’ is a seamless amalgamation of the two producers’ styles, married together with Jem’s enchanting top line.
