After selling out two events last May, Defected, the globally celebrated house music label, is bringing its signature energy back to the Costa Del Sol this summer with a one-night showcase on Friday, 26th June.

For more than 25 years, Defected has remained one of dance music’s most trusted tastemakers; a multi-award-winning independent label founded in 1999, with a global fanbase and an international reputation for expertly curated events and feel-good, high-quality house music experiences. 

Defected Marbella will feature a heavyweight line-up led by UK icon DJ EZ as headliner, joined by Eliza Rose and Melé, with more details to be revealed.

DJ EZ is widely regarded as one of the UK’s most influential and technically accomplished DJs. A defining figure in British dance music for more than three decades, respected across for his creativity, razor-sharp instincts and unmistakable mixing style - including the lightning-fast cue work that has become his trademark in the booth.

London DJ & producer and vocalist Eliza Rose hit No.1 in the UK with B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All) in 2022, becoming the first female DJ to top the Official Singles Chart in over 20 years. Also releasing with Defected in 2025 alongside The Trip with ‘Weekend’, she has become a regular at Defected’s global parties. 

Respected DJ & producer Melé is known for his high-energy, world-music-tinged house and UK club sounds, with releases across respected dance labels. A long-time friend of the label, Melé has become synonymous with the Defected brand and runs his own esteemed Club Bad. 

Fans are encouraged to secure tickets early, with the pre-sale starting on Thursday, 12th February at 11am and the general sale on Friday, 13th February at 11am.
