Best known as one half of nu disco/deep house duo Metro Area, Morgan Geist's new moniker — Storm Queen — is about to have a bona-fide chart hit with the previously released 'Look Right Through'. The track has had a long gestation period: produced with singer Damon C. Scott, who shot to prominence for being filmed singing on the NYC subway, it was signed to Defected at the end of last year and the MK dub became an anthem in Ibiza and at many festivals over the summer just gone.

Since winning Best Label at the DJ Mag Best of British Awards in 2011, Defected have continued to go from strength to strength. Adroit at raising their finger to detect the prevailing wind of change, they've earned their rep by transforming the stirrings of the underground into mainstream success, pushing the likes of Tensnake to even greater heights and introducing house legends such as MK, Murk and Kevin Saunderson to a new generation of clubbers.

“Everyone wants to call dance music EDM these days but I call that shit that’s popular — you know, the cheesy stuff — I call it PDM,” says New York DJ Dennis Ferrer.
“That stuff everyone is going on about, it’s pop dance music. I take offence when someone calls my shit 'EDM' and lumps it in with all the crap. What I do is what I’ve always done, and I don’t like someone calling it anything else.”

Simon Dunmore’s Defected Records is so synonymous with house that it may as well be fashioned from bricks and mortar and used as a dwelling.
