Defected proudly announces the return of Parisian house tastemaker Alex Wann with his first original release on the label, ‘Right’. Following a milestone 2024, where his track ‘Peperuke’ featuring Nes Mburu earned widespread acclaim and led the launch of Defected’s Afro-centric imprint One People, Alex returns to the Defected main label with a statement record full of energy, rhythm, and club-ready vibes.
Having already captivated dance floors around the world, Alex Wann has quickly become a staple in modern house music, earning support from top selectors like Keinemusik, CamelPhat, and Kelis. His unique talent for blending Afro house, deep grooves, and high-energy main stage sounds defines his signature style.
‘Right’
‘Right’ exemplifies Wann’s evolution. The punchy, bass-driven house track pulsates with bounce, vocal urgency, and textural sophistication. Drawing subtle cues from Afro house while embracing a harder club edge, the record stands as a compelling showcase of Alex Wann’s multidimensional artistry in 2025.
This release also continues the ongoing collaboration between the artist and Defected, which started with his standout remix of FCL’s classic ‘It’s You’ to celebrate the label’s 25th anniversary. Now, with his first original release on the iconic label, Alex solidifies his position among Defected’s next-generation trailblazers.
