Defected Ibiza

To celebrate 20 years of Defected, we are returning to Eden in San Antonio on Fridays for 20 parties across the season. Advance tickets for all 20 Defected Ibiza 2019 events are available now for €20.

We can now reveal the killer line-up for our 2019 Ibiza season at Eden, locking in Armand Van Helden, Gorgon City, Kenny Dope, Basement Jaxx, MK, Low Steppa, Derrick Carter, Darius Syrossian, David Penn and the full force of Defected regulars Amine Edge & DANCE, Sam Divine, Simon Dunmore, Jess Bays plus many more. Making Fridays very much our own in San Antonio, Defected’s new weekly spot will be the ultimate way to kick off a weekend on the island.

Under the slogan HOUSE MUSIC ALL LIFE LONG, we are inviting clubbers around the world to celebrate everything there is to love about house music, sharing its values of inclusivity, togetherness and escapism on the dancefloor.

As always, the Defected Ibiza line-up reflects the very best we have to offer in house music, from the pioneering sounds of Todd Terry, MK, Karizma and Roger Sanchez, to the budding talents of Monki, Danny Howard, Jacky, Mambo Brothers and OFFAIAH – artists that have released on the label or sub-labels in the past 12 months. Defected is proud to welcome a number of artists making their debuts this year, including residents Gorgon City, a British duo who made their name through collaborations with MNEK and Duke Dumont and who continue to channel their London club roots. Further debuts come from Ferreck Dawn, who with his sets at ADE and London events alongside his slick house releases is quickly becoming a Defected favourite. House master David Penn will be making a welcome addition to the billing, as well as Do Not Sleep head Darius Syrossian and established garage legend Todd Edwards, making his first Defected DJ appearance following his huge release ‘You’re Sorry’ in February. The DJs may come from all corners of the world and have unique approaches to playing, making and selecting great house music but they all have one thing in common – they know how to queue up the right track at the right time, reading the dancefloor and always putting the dancers first. Thanks to these huge talents, Defected prides itself on consistently being a ‘no frills, just house’ party.

After a 2018 Ibiza season that saw Defected stride ahead of the competition in San Antonio, the world leader in house music returns to Eden for its third annual residency at the forward-thinking club. The night had up to 80% increase on attendance from the previous year in 2018, going back to basics to demonstrate how house nights in Ibiza should be. Affordable, accessible and with equal space for international headliners as underground heroes, Defected at Eden continues to be San Antonio’s success story.

“This season is extra special as we celebrate our 20th year. We will continue our campaign to make clubbing more affordable on the island and have carefully curated a balanced programme of established DJs whilst introducing new talent to the island. We promise 20 amazing parties for Ibiza’s party people!” - Simon Dunmore
