It's Defected Records' world, and we're just living in it.
Following the conclusion of their recent festivities in Malta and Dubai, Defected has revealed their next leg of expansion: a New Year's celebration that spans all six inhabited continents.
Underpinned by the theme of connection, the ambitious initiative speaks to the core ethos of Defected, EDM.com's best record label of 2022, which has always been about uniting the global house music community. By tapping into the idea that anyone on Earth can be linked through a maximum of six connections, the label emphasizes the importance of human relationships and seeks to honor its vast community of global music aficionados.
With events in Johannesburg, Sydney, London, Las Vegas, Buenos Aires and Koh Samui, they're truly hitting all corners of the globe.
