Showcasing one-hundred percent House music, from the classic to the modern, Defected is known for its inclusive vibe and affordable prices. The party has been an island-favourite for decades, but now focuses on its core market at the entry and junior end of Ibiza’s capture zone.
The famed label returns to Fridays at Eden in 2023 for another summer of the hottest tracks out there.
As anybody who has experienced a Defected night at Eden knows, the party promotes a back-to-basics brand of clubbing, resigning VIP culture to the shadows in favour of an equalised dancefloor. Add plenty of good vibes and irresistible tunes and you have an all-around “no frills” party with a pure House music policy.
Following his high-profile acquisition of the label midway through last season, 2023 marks the first full year of direction under new CEO Wez Saunders. Exciting times lie ahead in this new era for the world-leading House music empire.
This year’s roster includes (A-Z) Amine Edge & DANCE, Arielle Free, Ben Rau, Catz ‘N Dogz, Cinthie, Darius Syrossian, David Penn, DJ Paulette, Dunmore Brothers, Eats Everything, Ferreck Dawn, Groove Armada, Hannah Wants, Low Steppa, LP Giobbi, Mambo Brothers, Mason Collective, Melé, Mike Dunn, Monki, Oden & Fatzo (live), Offaiah, Prunk, Riva Starr, Route 94, Sam Divine, Todd Edwards, Todd Terry and much more.
The action kicks-off on 28 April and runs all the way through to 29 September.
