Label History / Biography

Fluential is back after a 3 year’s in rehab. It’s been hanging back patiently waiting to bounce back and get messy again.

Fluential is the legendary label that could be considered the black sheep of the Defected label family, it’s like Defected’s bad brother, the one that is a little edgy, unpredictable and goes to the best clubs. It’s your duty to warn everyone - Fluential the bad brother is back.

From its initial conception in 2002 it has always been an outlet for the development of new up and coming artists. The labels sound has a much deeper, techier flavour. It was the label that first put tracks out by Kidstuff, Paul Jackson, Tedd Patterson, Chus and Cebellos and Roland Clark.  Always remaining a special and well respected imprint designed to put out new underground tracks to house heads everywhere that would not necessarily fit the typical Defected profile. 

Fluential previously considered a vinyl only label has now become future proof and will release Digital only tracks.  Look out for three new singles planned to drop within the next month.

Zoo Brazil – Gainer, Mike Dunn - Deep Down (The Underground) and Sultan and Ned Sheperd - Block Party  (Pierre J & Patrick M Remix & DJ Wady Remix).
