Defected Opening Party Ibiza
Last night we saw the return of Defected at Eden in San Antonio.
This is their 3rd year taking up residency at the superclub and it has without doubt, become one of the biggest parties of the week during the summer months. The labels iconic house music simply raises the roof each and every time, making it one of the number one nights of the season here.
This year is a celebration of 20 years of Defected, which is a huge achievement. With their mantra (In Our House We Are All Equal) and pocket friendly ticket prices, this is the party which will be well loved by visitors from far and wide.
Earlier in the evening, the Defected crew had pre-partied at the legendary Cafe Mambo, which they subtly advertised with just one great Defected artist, Low Steppa.
However in true Mambo style, they went above and beyond expectations and delivered a number of other big names, including label owner Simon Dunmore and his prodigy DJ Sam Divine. The place was absolutely rocking (which was to be expected), and gave revellers a taster of what was to come later that night.
This summer sees Defected at Eden on Fridays, perfect for the weekend arrivals to the island.

There were rumours of a possible low-turnout due to a few other popular venues also opening on the same day, however these rumours were put to bed very quickly as soon as we were near the Egg roundabout.
The almighty queues stretching right around the corner were a definite sign of an exciting night ahead.
Heading inside, DJ Loeca was on warm up duties, with the help of the clubs mighty VOID sound system. Along with the brands iconic black Defected decor, and energetic dancers, you knew you were in for a seriously good time.
Next up was founder and head honcho Simon Dunmore with his unique, upbeat and driving set – full of chunky beats and feel good tunes. With a big smile on his face as he expertly dropped one floor filler after the another, the iconic DJ and Producer looked like he was loving being back in Ibiza after the long winter hiatus.
He was then followed by Sam Divine who took the pace up a notch, with a selection of deep and immersive tracks that were heavy on emotive vocals, and all-time classic anthems.
Clubbers responded with glee, as she dropped banger after banger to her eager fans.
As the night progressed into the small hours, the party continued, with MK taking to the booth.
Eventually there wasn’t a space left on the dance floor, as people let loose to the flawless beats that were being thrown out to the sea of awaiting ears.
Last but by no means least was Low Steppa taking us through til morning. With the dance floor still rammed, everyone continued to soak up the amazing atmosphere until the final moments.
You got the feeling no one wanted this night to end, we most certainly didn’t.

It’s fair to say that the Defected Opening Party at Eden Ibiza was a huge success.
We cannot wait until next Friday, where it will be another stellar line up of Defected talent.
MK will return along with House God – Todd Terry, the fab Sam Divine & Jacky.
San Antonio really is the place to be this summer, and we couldn’t be happier!
