One vital ingredient to Defected's continued success at Eden has been its marvellous pool of talent. In 2020, the UK house music stable has outdone itself by dropping a massive A to Z roster for its weekly San Antonio residency.
Over the course of the season, the line-ups will be filled with big-time dance acts and rising stars from the sphere of electronic music.
Starting at the very top you have staple Defected names like Armand Van Helden, Basement Jaxx, Roger Sanchez, Kenny Dope, Sam Divine, Amine Edge & DANCE and Ferreck Dawn.
Continuing down the list, hitmakers like Gorgon City, Offaiah, Purple Disco Machine and champion of 2019 Roberto Surace will excite crowds with their signature sounds.
Additionally, famed spinners such as Danny Howard, Low Steppa, Monki and Mambo Brothers will also show up for deck duties.
Label head Simon Dunmore will take on a set or two, treating us with those patented house grooves. His gifted progeny, Louie and Lucas make their Eden DJing debut this year as the Dunmore Brothers.
4 To The Floor Records will host room two with a mixture of fine selectors. From White Isle based acts like Andy Baxter, DJ Pippi and Melon Bomb to Defected cohorts, such as Mousse T, The Shapeshifters and Heller & Farley.
Unadulterated thumping beats inbound. When it comes to curating this popular summer series, the party raises the bar each year - a big factor behind its success.
You can catch these artists and more every Friday from 15 May until 25 September. When the week by week line-ups drop, the picture will become clearer still. Judging by these names, it's guaranteed to be jammed packed full of house goodness regardless of the date.
Earlier in the week, Simon Dunmore also confirmed the list of DJs and venues involved during the debut Defected Ibiza Festival from 14 to 18 May.
Keep an eye out on our magazine for more Defected updates coming soon. In the meantime, if you already know your holiday dates, pick up a bargain with a €20 early-bird ticket. These will increase in price closer to the date of the party.
