Butch and Life On Planets team up on "Get High With You"

Modern house champion Butch returns to Defected alongside genre-hopping songwriter and vocalist Life On Planets with 'Get High With You'.

Butch's 2023 release 'I Want You' with Nic Fanciulli was one of Defected's most celebrated, and in 2025 he returned to the London label, remixing Duck Sauce's 'Fallin In Love' which charted in the Beatport top ten and was supported by Danny Howard, Arielle Free and Sarah Story on BBC Radio 1.

Also no stranger to the Defected family, Life On Planets landed on sister label Classic Music Company in 2023 alongside Lubelski with the eclectic 'Mercury In Retrograde', a tastemaker release showcasing the multi-instrumentalist's soulful vocals and songwriting prowess. "I've been a fan of Butch for sometime now, playing his music in my sets. When I heard Butch's remix of my tune 'Downstream' I was honored! I reached out to say thanks and see if he would wanna collab, and he sent me 'Get High With You'. After working with Butch I have even more respect for him, watching and hearing his dedication to making sure every element of the groove is perfect." - Life On Planets.

The two artists now come together on Defected, after Butch remixed Life On Planets' 'Downstream' with Makèz; 'Get High With You' shows a clear reverence for the noughties, but modern harmonic progressions and daring production choices propel the record into 2025 and beyond.

"I love that 'Get High With You' sounds both classic and modern at the same time. I have enjoyed dropping it in my sets and riffing over top on my guitar; it always gets an incredible response, so I am elated that the world will get to have it soon!" - Life On Planets

'Get High With You' by Butch featuring Life On Planets is out April 11 on Defected Records. Pre-order/pre-save here
