Tony H makes his return to the label and this time, he’s collaborated with Deefo, out of Jakarta, Indonesia for ‘It’s Breaking Up’. It being their first collaboration, they wanted to create a solid 4x4 track with catchy instrumentals, memorable melodies and vocal chops that represents a global dance scene.
This electro-infused stomper is bubbling with the kind of energy that sends you on a ride that you won’t want to end. It’s got the feel of a timeless late-night tale that dancefloors between and beyond these two artists' distant hometowns will be teeming with for ages.
Every time we talk about Tony H, we get to say something more, which is a testament to the work ethic and pride Tony takes in what he does. With captivating cuts on labels like Space Yacht, Desert Hearts, HE.SHE.THEY, WyldCard Records, Popgang Records, Birdfeed (the sub label from Dirtybird) and of course, the Slow Burner EP on Lots of Practice, it’s clear that he’s got a track record that’s tough to out-do. Having just recently represented his city at Insomniac’s Day Trip Festival Seattle alongside a stacked lineup with Kaytranada, Anna Lunoe, Duke Dumont, Purple Disco Machine and more, you can bet he’s got way more in store.
Deefo started his DJ-ing days in April 2005. He describes his sets as pure underground music with a touch of tech and acid house, without ever losing the groove. His passion in this industry has taken him far and as a producer, his tracks have been released with well-known labels worldwide like Clipp.art, W&O Street Tracks, CUFF, Klaphouse Records, Wyldcard Records, Freakin909, Witty Tunes, PPMUsic Unlimited, Younan Music, and more. His talents have garnered high placements and praise in competitions with the 2nd winning Club Mix for PIONEER PRO DJ 2006, 1st winner JUICE DJ QUEST 2008, 2nd winner JUICE DJ QUEST REGIONAL FINAL, “Best Rookie of the Year” Paranoia Award 2008 & "Best House DJ" Paranoia Award 2016 - and we’ve got a bet that the hardware won’t stop there.
Enter rising star, Emelea, conjuring up a remix of the track that bumps like a soaring rock ballad, infusing her signature gliding electric guitar riffs and licks for a twist that’s sure to amp things up a notch.
This winning combination of Deefo and Tony H colliding, a remix from Emelea, plus Nissa, an incredible tattoo artist out of Paris once again stepping in for us and bringing this vision to life gracing the cover with her unique style, will absolutely have you calling for another round.
