After featuring on their 2020 album 'We All Move Together', Idris Elba teams up with Inner City once more to release Defected debut 'No More Looking Back'. Making for a formidable pairing, the London born-and-bred DJ and actor has forged a rich studio relationship with the legendary Detroit group, fronted by techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson with his son, Dantiez, as well as the latest addition to the group vocalist Steffanie Christi'an. With a chugging bassline, expressive piano chords and soaring pads, Christi'an's velvety vocal brims with soul and emotion. Teased on Idris' Defected Virtual Festival set which has been viewed over 1 million times, this sought-after cut has an unwavering groove that is begging to be heard on the dancefloor.

This high powered musical trio of Kon & Ben Westbeech featuring Andreya Triana are a combo dreams are made of! Ever since they dropped Heaven last summer, have been eagerly anticipating each subsequent release. Had it continued to be a series of fire singles would have been fine. That we got an entire album out of is has brought spontaneous joy to my life. It’s Mid to uptempo groovy & anthemic dancefloor excellence. Looking forward to a world I can hear this on a dancefloor full of people! Derrick Ah Sam
