Mixed by Simon Dunmore, our latest In The House release is essential summer listening.
Both literally and metaphorically, Ibiza is our time in the sun. As the eyes of the dance music world collectively focus on a single, tiny island in the Mediterranean, DJs, producers and record labels alike all set out their musical stalls in an effort to provide the thousands of clubbers the best possible experience.
This year we have once again stepped up our game with residencies at two brand new White Isle venues. Defected In The House will bring a heavyweight line-up to Bomba Ibiza for Saturday nights, while Defected presents DFTD introduces a new concept to Ushuaia Tower with a free party on Mondays.
The Ibiza edition of our In The House series once again defines the season, representing a true reflection of the musical direction of the White Isle.
“We are still a soul based record label although the soundbed for the songs we release changes as the House sound evolves” says Dunmore of his approach to this new undertaking. “There has been a reaction by some people to move away from the commercial dance scene and I think we have benefitted from that.”
Tracks of particular note that feature on the mix include the hotly anticipated Flashmob remix of FCL ‘It’s You’ – arguably the most talked-about record of recent memory – as well as the sublime ‘Follow The Step’ from emerging artist Rachel Row.
Elsewhere you’ll find the Gorge remix of David Keno 'A Compliment', Trickski 'Wilderness' (Genius of Time Remix) and Guti's ‘Pray For Love’ (Guti Summer Loving Mix), all of which epitomise Dunmore’s eclectic approach to the compilation’s selections.
“I think that it is clichéd to call the album a journey” says Dunmore of the mix “but the vibes certainly progresses from a daytime beach party and sunset vibe into a more club based mix. There are many exclusives from the Defected schedule and our new DFTD imprint. All the recordings are special and contribute to a mix of which I am particularly proud.”
Defected In The House Ibiza 2013 is also first release to boast new artwork as part of a complete brand overhaul of the label. Conceptualised by world-renowned designer, DJ and producer Trevor Jackson, the rebrand includes a new logo, artwork direction and website, further details of which will be released over the coming weeks.
Defected In The House Ibiza 2013 is out 19th May - pre-order from iTunes
