Defected In The House returns to Amsterdam’s most innovative club, AIR, with the strongest line-up of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2012 on Friday 19th October.

As our phenomenal season at Pacha, Ibiza draws nearer its conclusion, Defected In The House moves the 2012 House Odyssey onwards to Amsterdam. The House Odyssey expresses the diversity and truth in the house music which Defected celebrates and with this standout range of artists, Friday night at AIR during the ADE will again be one of the house music events of the year.

The ADE is now widely regarded as the leading electronic music platform and the biggest club festival in the world across the entire spectrum of dance music. For its 2012 party and second ADE event at AIR, Defected are bringing a host of its newest stars alongside some of the most in-demand DJs in the world.

Very much representing the latter category are Tensnake, Sandy Rivera, Noir and Chocolate Puma; four artists who have made their own indelible marks on the house scene. This winter Tensnake releases his brand new single on Defected – a collaboration with vocalist Syron – so the timing is perfect to welcome him back to Defected In The House. Sandy Rivera has had a staggeringly creative year – even by his own high standards – with singles ‘Show Me’ and ‘Avenue’ asserting themselves as modern classics in 2012 and there’s a wealth of new material coming up over the next few months.

Noir meanwhile continues to demonstrate both his skills as a DJ and his A&R credentials with Noir Music further bolstering its position as a label of global standing. Chocolate Puma’s performance at last year’s ADE party was one of the moments of 2011 and went down in history as one of their finest ever. With the Dutch duo set to release their own In The House album this Autumn we are proud to welcome them back to AIR. Strong support from Italian duo Supernova, Holland’s own Franky Rizardo, Andy Daniell and a Live PA by Lorenzo complete the AIR 1 lineup.

Over the last year or so, Defected has set out its stall by way of the calibre of new artists they have chosen to work with, a direction represented by the super-fresh lineup presented in AIR 2.

Flashmob’s ‘Need In Me’ has proved to be one of the stand-out records of the year in Ibiza and beyond having been made an Essential New Tune by Pete Tong and destroying dancefloors all summer long. Flashmob impressed so much at their debut appearance for Defected In The House at Ministry of Sound earlier in the year that they were an obvious choice to headline AIR 2.

Support comes from three of the most exciting young talents in the game in Larse, Hot Since 82 and Nice7. A new breed of producers, all of whom boast a richly melodic sound with their records and infectious danceability with their sets, having all three on the same lineup is a mouthwatering proposition, and with further talent in Defected’s latest signing Anna Wall completing the lineup this party promises to be the finest house offering of ADE 2012.  

The party will take place in the stunning AIR which won awards for Best Sound System, Hottest Club and Best Use of Technology in 2010. Conceptualized by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, AIR is one of the most visually impressive clubs in the world, and we look forward to what we are sure will be a truly exceptional night and, yet again, a highlight of this year’s ADE.
