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 as Darius Syrossian and Olive F unite again for ‘Cereal Groover’ featuring Fountain Sound.
Moxy Muzik label boss Darius Syrossian is known globally for his work as a modern house innovator, now acting as a mentor to the burgeoning talent Olive F. Their numerous B2B sets together, including for BBC Radio 1 Dance Presents, Defected’s ambitious 25-DJ livestream and at Defected’s Ushuaïa Ibiza residency, prove that the bond between these two electronic artists is one to watch.
Now the pair enlist the help of vocalist and Moxy studio expert Fountain Sound for their latest single, ‘Cereal Groover’; as a deliciously crunchy four-on-the-floor kick dominates, Fountain Sound’s fresh vocals are supported by hypnotic guitar loops and modern production to create a unique and hard-hitting club record.
You can practically hear the snap, crackle, and pop of the bassline, which provides a solid foundation for Syrossian and Olive F’s inventive production flourishes. Fountain Sound’s airy vocals glide effortlessly over the top, tying the whole thing together in a way that’s both club-ready and radio-friendly.
“Cereal Groover” is a real treat for Defected fans, a perfect blend of the label’s storied history and bright future. It’s the sound of house music veterans passing the torch to the next generation – and trust us, this is one collaboration you won’t want to sleep on.
