Ibiza’s offering is unique; a cosmopolitan mix of Europe’s most passionate clubbers all drawn together to celebrate dance music, stay up all weekend and hear the unmistakable tracks that trigger those memories of the best time of your life. Ibiza is quite simply intoxicating and that is why so many people return.

Last year despite the economic downturn more than half a million fun-seekers visited Ibiza from the UK from January to Sept. The fact that this number flock to the island year on year is testament that this phenomenon is not going away. Ibiza and club culture are here to stay and has been at the centre of contemporary youth culture and music for nearly 25 years. Respect, as they say, is due.

It even determines what the sound of the summer will be for many leading musical trends. The ‘Ibiza sound’ is much talked about and is in constant flux from one year to the next. This is where Defected steps in. Defected consistently reflect the sound of the summer with their annual instalment of what are to be the island’s biggest tracks of the year.

We say this every year but it is absolutely true, Pacha Ibiza is one of the most glamorous clubs in the world and we are honoured to be there every Saturday during the summer. It is a venue that is steeped in history and instantly conjures up images of celebrity, hedonism and glamour. This is Defected’s 8th season in Ibiza and we have learnt a few things along the way to make sure we are delivering something that is at the heart of our core philosophy – good times on a Saturday night.
