Sole Channel founder, Vega Records alumnae and close friend of Defected Mr. V drops his anticipated House Masters compilation, a career-spanning collection of defining moments, consolidated into 30 tracks. Growing up in the rich musical landscape of NYC during the 1980s, Mr. V was inspired by house, hip-hop, Latin, garage and disco classics, enamoured by the presence a DJ commanded over a crowd with early mentors like Louie Vega guiding his path to house stardom. A multifaceted talent, often combining his agile skills as a DJ and producer with live vocals and spoken word, his unmistakable signature sound can be heard across standout hits like ‘Jus Dance’, ‘Somethin’ Wit Jazz’ and Louie Vega’s remix of ‘Put Your Drink Down’. With the compilation featuring house royalty like Dennis Quin, Copyright, Hardrive and Blaze, ‘Defected presents House Masters - Mr. V’ is another stellar addition to the revered series from a bona fide legend of the game.
