Defected’s House Odyssey heads to Ibiza with a 3-disc mix and confirmed Pacha dates
Mixed by the label’s founder Simon Dunmore and taking in upfront tracks from Sandy Rivera, Groove Armada, Dennis Ferrer & Karizma, Claptone and Mark Fancuilli, Ibiza '12 is more than simply a showcase of the latest and greatest, with Dunmore selecting a number of records that have soundtracked his epic journey through house music.
Current rubs shoulders with classic as seminal records from Romanthony, Sandy B, Timmy Regisford, Jamie Myerson and Chez Damier make an appearance, while Dunmore has even made a rare visit to the studio, collaborating with James Talk on an exclusive re-edit of Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley’s ‘The Word is Love’.
“Many of the retrospective tracks I have chosen are personal to me” he says of his selections. “I believe that more than ever before house music has real heritage, so I wanted to join some of the dots to explain my background in house and why Defected is the way it is musically”.
In addition to the mix, 2012 will mark a decade of Ibiza residencies for the label and a landmark 8th season at the mighty Pacha. Kicking off with the Opening Party on Saturday 26th May with Bob Sinclar, The Shapeshifters and Simon Dunmore himself, the season takes in an extended 19 weeks of parties with an impressive breadth of house talent from around the world. Already confirmed are Dennis Ferrer, Junior Jack & Kid Crème, Solomun, MURK, Inner City and Dimitri from Paris and there are still a number of very special guests who will be revealed at a later date.
“Our line-ups are the most musically diverse on Ibiza and the 2012 season reflects the full diversity of house music, our releases and our sound” says Dunmore. “We are loyal to our residents but we like to invigorate each season by introducing new and exciting talent to keep the line-ups fresh and ultimately shake things up a little.”
