Overview
D4 D4NCE in Ibiza is a significant chapter in the storied history of the UK-based house music label, Defected Records. Defected Records in its 25-year history has been a key player in the UK’s electronic music scene, nurturing world-famous artists and creating timeless classics, making it a household name around the world. D4 D4NCE as a label was born in 2020, featuring world-renowned artists such as Armand Van Helden, A Trak, Junior Sanchez, and John Summit, it also gave emerging talent a chance to develop as artists and a reputable platform to be heard.
The D4 D4NCE label focused on deeper, more underground sounds within house music. While Defected’s main events in Ibiza were already well-established, drawing massive crowds at venues like Eden, Pacha, and its new home of Ushuaïa, D4 D4NCE was launched at O Beach Ibiza, catering to a niche, discerning audience looking for something different, yet unmistakably rooted in the Defected sound.
D4 D4NCE continues to gain momentum with sell-out shows across Europe including London’s iconic Ministry of Sound, Drumsheds, and Studio 338, Amsterdam’s ADE Festival, and Marbella’s Ocean Club.
D4 D4NCE at O Beach continues to grow in popularity each year. The brand has brought top-tier DJs to the venue normally only found in the island’s super-clubs. These have included Roger Sanchez, Sandy Rivera, Route 94, Oden and Fatzo, and Todd Terry, all testament to the musical quality of this relatively new brand.
Quickly establishing itself as one of the most exciting new labels in dance music, D4 D4NCE has consistently spotlighted emerging talent since its launch. Now, the label presents a dynamic new sampler designed for selectors, showcasing rising stars destined for greatness. Featuring tracks from Ruben Lasala, Versus, Kolabeech, Philip Z, Sully, Josh Davids, and Needs No Sleep & Mike McFly, this release is another essential addition to the D4 D4NCE catalog, further cementing its reputation for uncovering the next wave of dance music talent.
