Jack Back & THEMBA Unite On Defected For ‘Give Me Something To Hold’

Acclaimed producer Jack Back and Afro house pioneer THEMBA have teamed up for ‘Give Me Something To Hold’ out now on Defected. David Guetta created the Jack Back alias to return to his house roots, quickly building a strong relationship with the London label thanks to the chart-topping Defected hit ‘(It Happens) Sometimes.’ Then, in 2024, he released a highly anticipated remix of label staple Dennis Ferrer’s ‘Hey Hey,’ showcasing his fresh Afro-inspired sound.

Now, the French titan joins forces with THEMBA, a prolific South African DJ who has brought his unique take on electronic music to the world since 2018. From explosive early releases like ‘Who Is THEMBA?’ to remixing works from Vintage Culture, Kerri Chandler, and Bob Sinclar, THEMBA’s meteoric rise to success has culminated in sets with Black Coffee at Hï Ibiza – cementing him as one of the biggest touring artists out of the continent.

Now, in 2024, the two powerhouses have come together for the hypnotic club cut, ‘Give Me Something To Hold,’ as THEMBA’s modern, Afro-electronic rhythms work with Jack Back’s melodically engaging production, complete with arresting vocals that build tension in all the right places. The new release is part of Defected Records’ 25th anniversary Together series, as the iconic label continues to blaze the trail for house music by bringing together artists for original music and exclusive remixes. Jack Back and THEMBA’s styles have come together beautifully for a dance-floor ready anthem.

‘Give Me Something To Hold’ is available now on Defected. Check it out below:
