Featuring tracks and remixes from cutting edge artists such as Kyle Hall, Skudge, Glimpse, Diplo, Marcel Dettmann and Dice himself, as well as a hand-picked selection of unreleased Desolat exclusives, this is an incredible release from an undisputed legend of the scene.

The union of Loco Dice and Defected may at first seem an unlikely one, but when you consider that both artist and label have tirelessly fought to promote the best in techno and house for over a decade, the pieces begin to fall into place. Dice himself explains how the collaboration came about:

"Defected is one of the labels that have always been in my record box" he says. "I have an entire section dedicated to them in my collection and I grew up with the label's history. I think what they're doing at the moment with combining a lot of different styles and bringing together a diverse range of artists is great. Defected has the freedom to do this, unlike a lot of labels. Of course I knew the name Simon [Dunmore] for years but we never had the chance to meet. Then last year at IMS Simon just sat down to talk to me; initially it wasn't about business, just music. Eventually he asked me if I could do something for Defected, with as much freedom as I needed. For me it's a great opportunity, and I always take compilations so seriously, as seriously as I would an album. I'm so happy with the results."

The results are, perhaps unsurprisingly, electrifying as Dice selects tracks from Tsuba, Strictly Rhythm, Running Back, Sub Level, Clone and more, from the housier vibes delivered through tracks like Franck Roger "Dont U Know" (Matthew Styles Club Mix) and Robert Dietz "Common" to dark harder-edged offerings in the vein of Skudge "Convolution," Marcel Dettmann "Ellipse" and Alden Tyrell "Rush."

Also included are four brand new tracks from Dice's own label Desolat, all exclusive to this compilation: Jean Pierre "Who U Mad At," Brixton "LateUp," Federico Grazzini "Untouchable" and Nathan Barato "Give It To You."

Loco Dice himself is a true original, a relentlessly creative force of nature whose residencies at the world's biggest clubs (DC10 and Amnesia, Ibiza among them), along with deft label management and production work, have elevated him to the ranks of an icon in the underground scene. Voted in the top 10 DJs of Resident Advisor's highly respected end of year polls for the last three years in a row, Loco Dice is the undisputed king of the rolling, muscular basslines and delicately crafted atmospheres he creates with each of his sets. Defected presents Loco Dice In The House is the next step in a career that has been littered with unpredictable moves, backed up by glittering moments of genius.

Defected presents Loco Dice In The House exemplifies the open-minded attitude to electronic music embraced by both label and artist, and delivers a truly unique and timeless listening experience.

Loco Dice In The House will be available worldwide on Defected this July 22.
