Fancy digging through our archives for a rare version of your favourite record? Or scoring a piece of vinyl signed by one of Defected’s iconic DJs? The Independent Label Market’s Easter instalment at London’s Spitalfields Market is the best chance you’re going to get. Happening on Saturday 2 April, we will be bringing with us a whole load of exclusive merchandise from Defected and the sister labels, including t-shirts, sweats and accessories as well as vinyl archive gems not available anywhere else.

Since launching in London in 2011, Independent Label Market has brought together the world's greatest independent record labels at events around Europe and across the pond. The ILM gives label fanatics, vinyl junkies and music lovers an opportunity to get their hands on rare cuts, collectibles and merchandise, the old school way, with not one MP3 in sight.


As well as stalls from the elite crop of indie labels such as Erased Tapes, Warp, Shogun and many more, the market is open all day with DJs and a beer garden showcasing more than 25 of London’s artisan breweries. If you’re as obsessed as we are with vinyl (and music in general) there’s really no better way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

The ILM kicks off a big day for Defected, as we’ll be heading over to Ministry of Sound after the market for Defected In The House featuring Oliver Dollar, ATFC, Tube & Berger, ANOTR, Worthy and Sam Divine. Tickets available from Ministry of Sound.

For a weekend of fresh record goodness and quality music, look no further; we’ve got you covered.
