To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Defected Records presents a series of extra special collaborative releases Together, integrating talent from the label's storied past and the stars of its future as acclaimed producer Cristoph collaborates with Defected House Master Sandy Rivera and vocalist Hayze for "Changes."

Over the past ten years, Cristoph has risen to become one of dance music's most in-demand producers. Championed early in his career by Hot Since 82 to becoming Beatport's #1 progressive house artist in 2023, the Geordie producer has collaborated with the scene's top vocalists at every turn; this incredible rise to success is signposted by standout Defected releases, from "Slowly Burning" with Jem Cooke in 2015 to "Time" with AWEN on DFTD in 2024.

One of house music's most prolific creators, the soulful house legend and label boss Sandy Rivera, has a vocal portfolio envied by many - working with the likes of Mike Dunn, Rae, and Julie McKnight while also continuing to lift new artists with debut features and collabs. Together with vocalist Hayze, Cristoph updates Sandy's 2005 release "Changes" nearly 20 years on, creating a deep, brooding atmosphere that sticks long after the pulsating electronic rhythms dissipate.
