The hugely successful partnership between Dennis Ferrer and Defected has a remarkable and prolific history. Some of the label’s biggest crossover hits have been delivered courtesy of Dennis’ incredibly intuitive production skill. Now after a few years’ hiatus from the imprint, he makes a suitably triumphant return with ‘Sunny Days’, a record so aptly timed it’s almost hard to believe it has existed on a hard drive in Dennis’ studio for some time now. With a powerful lead vocal provided by Dawn Tallman, Dennis’ (now grown-up) children also sing on the track, their youthful voices adding to the record’s uplifting quality. With flawless production from start to finish, Dennis’ exceptional studio capabilities shine through more so than ever on his latest Defected cut, a joyous, soulful and groove-filled release destined to enchant its listeners. In times of trouble and uncertainty, music can provide the perfect antidote, and what sums it up better than Dennis’ Sunny Days ‘mantra’: Let us find the way, let us celebrate, till our sunny days come around.
