Sandy Rivera, by all accounts, has mastered the realms of warm and traditional house music. Under the guise of Kings Of Tomorrow, his time at the helm of soulful house music has mustered a rather loyal following for his studio output, while recurrent releases for Defected Records have kept his legacy well and truly alive.

Summoning the unique silvery of vocal piece April, Rivera returns after the hustle and bustle of the Miami season with a Defected release that sets itself apart from the crowd with a heavy dose of effortlessness and soul. Say what you will about the current state of dance music, but the ‘Fall For You’ EP suggests that some sounds will never slip off the radar.

Fresh footed and rife from a whirlwind year for both respective beat smiths, German club mogul Nick Curly receives affirmative remix duties from the ranks of Osunlade’s Yoruba Soul moniker in the name of outspoken House music with a strong soulful exterior.

Having provided some stellar remix spots throughout 2012, his first for camp Defected of the New Year channels warm vintage synths and exotic percussive elements through the core of Curly’s 2012 originals. Packing the same hypnotic ambience and melodically refined elements that have championed Osunlade to the ranks of House Master and beyond, his part of Curly’s ‘Piano In The Dark’ EP‘ sets the precedent for things to come to a stunning high for 2013.

Ever since ‘Finally’ established itself as the don of all Balearic club anthems, Sandy Rivera’s Kings of Tomorrow project has continued to inspire awe for the realms of deep and melodic House. But having comfortably executed a strong summer contender in ‘Show Me‘ earlier this year, Rivera returns to Defected to release the follow-up, entitled ‘Let Me Tell You Something’.

Where Rivera’s own A-side mix plunges deep into the deep and bass-heavy House stylings that we have come to associate with his Kings Of Tomorrow moniker, the B-side sees him bring aboard Warsaw DJ Claudia Castel for an alternative remix of vintage synths and dark grooves throughout.
