In September of last year, Defected Records launched their brand new "4 to the Floor" series which is all about timeless vocal and instrumental gems ranging from the early days of house music to the contemporary (with each of the tracks representing the mantra of the genre: the unmistakable 4/4 rhythm). The second volume will be released later this month, once again spanning across the various shades house music has to offer, featuring music from an illustrious list of artists such as legends Kerri Chandler, 'Little' Louie Vega, Danny Tenaglia, Robert Owens, Charles Dockins, Mijan, Dee Dee Brave, 95 North and George Morel as well as producers operating at the scene's cutting edge. Not less than fifty tracks are included in their original, full-length unmixed format.
