Defected mainstay Sam Divine returns to the London label with ‘Paradise’. A core member of the Defected family, Sam’s journey with the label has seen her become one of the brand’s most recognisable residents with a catalogue of signature releases recently including ‘Take My Hand’ and ‘Saved By The Record’ with Josh Barry plus ‘Fast Lane’ with Dave Giles II.
Her latest single arrives after a packed summer that saw her play Defected’s flagship festivals in Croatia and Malta as well as its third sold-out DRUMSHEDS party in a row, with further appearances at the label’s upcoming New Year’s parties at Manchester’s The Warehouse Project and OVO Arena Wembley alongside label mate Low Steppa.
Sam’s busy 2026 also saw her documentary ‘Married To The Music’ premiere at the final Defected Croatia, charting her career and the wider history of house music in one feature-length film.
Her latest outing ‘Paradise’ showcases Sam’s unmistakable house sound, pairing a driving club groove with an infectious vocal hook that has made her a mainstay of the world’s biggest house music stages.
A fitting return from one of the label’s most enduring artists, ‘Paradise’ is a love letter to the house heads who have followed Sam Divine and Defected’s journey over the years.
