press release:
Pacha has always been regarded as one of the most glamorous clubs in the word, where celebs rub shoulders with dj’s who mingle with wide eyed clubbers from all over the world. This is a venue every serious clubber should visit at least once in their lives, many come back year on year.
Defected Records is the international, independent dance music label that is passionate about House, Soul and Disco. It delivers the finest quality dance music and events to clubbers across the globe.
This is a pair up that is made in heaven, bringing glamour and musical credibility to the islands most famous venue.
Every year we look forward to embarking on a season of 16 long hot weeks, starting early on in the season on June 10th and ending on the 23rd Sept.
This is our 6th season, and we have built a solid reputation of the island that brings together a collection of the most celebrated house DJ’s within the worlds dance community. With exclusive DJ performances from Kenny Dope, Quentin Harris, Junior Jack and Kid Crème, Sandy Rivera, Simon Dunmore and Copyright as well as guest appearances by Todd Terry, David Morales and Bob Sinclar.
We think that this summer you’ll be spending a lot of time on easyJet!
Every year we are enlightened by our travels. Our recent amazing events in India have provided us with much inspiration. Ibiza’s connection with the East is well documented and it is only right that we bring the good Karma back to Ibiza.
Our main inspiration comes from the ‘Wheel of Life’ philosophy, which depicts the essential aspects of life according to ancient Buddhist teachings in order to achieve a fulfilled life. This theme gets the inevitable disco twist to incorporate the essential aspects of Ibiza well-being; sun, sea, good times and health. All essential aspects of life to survive a summer on the white isle.
As a result Pacha will become the spiritual temple of dance and will be transformed into an Indian Temple with special bespoke décor. The famed Pacha dancers will be performing ancient Indian style dances, sultry, sexy and be-jeweled in their immaculate costumes.
After the success of last year our resident talisman and percussionist Shovell will return to make selected appearances throughout the season. Look out for his dramatic costumes and energetic show stopping entrance.
With all this going on you know it’s going to be another fantastic season for Defected.
Defected will also hold its official weekly pre-party at Café Mambo every Tuesday from 6pm – 12 Midnight, where you will be able to get up close and personal and enjoy a more intimate musical experience with some of the labels biggest DJ’s. Defected also have a weekly radio show on the island, tune into Global Radio every Tuesday between 6pm and 7pm hosted by Ibiza’s finest broadcaster Joan Ribas.
