This year has an officially been the busiest Ibiza season for nearly a decade, with hotel occupancy close to 100% during peak season and more musical variety than ever to suit pretty much all tastes, however discerning they might be.

2010 will undoubtedly be remember as the year house music with soul returned and that songs once again raised their heads stood out from the crowd. At Defected, we’ve always tried to advocate the purest form of house music in everything we do, refusing to be drawn into following trends or chasing trendy sub-genres of dance music. It’s house music, pure and simple.

"A label night like Defected at Pacha [is] uniquely primed for success on Ibiza: With such a distinct sound, you can know (almost) exactly what you're getting into every Saturday" says Resident Advisors Todd Burns, who recently enthused about his time at Defected In The House.



Now, after arguably the most successful season on the island in over 10 years Defected presents The Closing Party: Ibiza 2010, the definitive round up of the records that have rocked, rolled, uplifted, and united clubbers on the White Isle all summer long.

Bringing together the best from Defected and beyond, this is the essential reminder of the season that house music was reborn.
