Defected are proud to welcome David Penn to the list of legendary house masters with this incredible compilation. An icon of Spanish dance music, David has remained an underground hero with a reputation for producing considered, quality house cuts, celebrated with this collection. The Urbana Records founder, world-class producer and musical all-rounder has been one of the most unstoppable house music artists of the last two decades, with all elements of his signature, life-affirming musical style covered in this collection of tracks. Highlights include recent releases such as the joyous ‘Nobody’, the infectious ‘Stand Up’ featuring US vocalist Ramona Renea and most recently ‘The Power’, made in collaboration with the legendary Roland Clark. True to form with any House Masters compilation, this retrospective look at David’s career also features essentials from his back-catalogue like the Latin house grooves of ‘Esperanza’, produced alongside DJ Chus and his 2009 prime-time remix of Sandy Rivera’s ‘I Can’t Stop’. David’s House Masters compilation also illustrates his remixing capabilities, demonstrated in his flair for taking on the classics, remixing the likes of Pete Heller’s ‘Big Love’ and Candi Staton’s ‘Hallelujah Anyway’, along with recent remix projects like the acclaimed ‘Calling Out’ by Sophie Lloyd and Purple Disco Machine’s ‘Music In You’. As David’s career continues to reach new heights, this edition of House Masters makes the perfect opportunity to delve into the catalogue of one of house music’s most vibrant artists.
