We make our return to Ibiza for the 2023 season with our biggest line-up yet this summer, remaining the ultimate destination for house music fans on the Island. Continuing to elevate our White Isle offering, Defected’s return to San Antonio’s Eden comes with new-and-improved production and expert musical curation for another unforgettable summer. With our summer campaign It’s All About House, this season sees Defected put the focus on the music at the heart of everything it does.
“Talk of Ibiza always gets me excited for the summer ahead, and now here we are again. We very much look forward to Defected returning to Eden for what is now our 20th Summer in Ibiza and bringing in an amazing array of new musical talent. Defected, Ibiza, It’s All About House.” – Wez Saunders, CEO, Defected Records
Among the new names debuting at Defected Ibiza this summer, Cinthie, Oden & Fatzo, SG Lewis, Alex Mills, Ben Rau and Shermanology will appear alongside our beloved residents such as Sam Divine, Melé, Ferreck Dawn and Monki.
With a bookings policy that puts a firm focus on championing the future stars of house alongside A-List names, breaking talent such as Liverpool’s Paige Tomlinson, London-born Rio Tashan and Manchester duo the Murphy Brothers will all make appearances at Eden this summer. As winners of Defected’s 2022 talent search competition Unsung Heroes, our dedication to uncovering the next generation of house is demonstrated through the sonic diversity of weekly line-ups at Eden Ibiza this summer.
Synonymous with quality house music in Ibiza, Defected’s 2023 season marks 20 years of us hosting residencies on the Island: “We are super excited to be back doing a season in Ibiza with Defected this year. We have got fresh line-ups and new production installed for you. Ibiza’s reputation and energy for nightlife is unparalleled, enabling us to showcase what we do best, throwing parties.” – George Pritchard, Director of Events & Talent, Defected
