Just a few weeks after the release of his last single, "You Can't Beat Love", Jethro Heston is already back with another vocal house drop, this time with the one and only Alex Mills. On new single "Slave" Mills, of course, does what she does best with her infectious and classic-sounding vocals while Heston provides the thumping, bass-driven production that gives more than a little nod to the golden age of vocal and piano house.

Heston explained: "I gave the track an old school piano house feel and tried to bring in some UK garage elements. It's got a really catchy piano hook and a clean but hard-hitting drop. Everything about the vocal is great — the words, the harmonies and Alex's voice. For a while Alex has been one of my favourite vocalists in the scene, but I genuinely feel this is her best work yet."
