5 top tracks from week four at Defected

A night of Tech and Jackin' House music at Eden Ibiza.

After a mega opening weekend and an equally busy second and third week, Defected showed no signs of slowing down for week number four.

Friday nights at Eden have long been guaranteed floor-fillers, with San Antonio's young British and Irish crowd packing the dancefloor. Last Friday continued in the same vein.

With Mason Collective and Sosa in town, it was one of the Tech-ier line-ups of summer. Though with Melé bringing his tribal percussion and Heidi her Jackin' sound, there was plenty of variety on offer.

Throw in the classic signature of custodian Simon Dunmore and we had everything needed for a varied night of clubbing anthems. Though the assist of the fervent crowd did not go unnoticed.

Here's our top five memorable tracks from the night.


Green Velvet feat Jamie Principle | Lalalalala | Cajual Records | 2007
played by Heidi

Flaxen haired Heidi is energy personified. We don't think we've ever seen anybody have as much fun behind the booth and we're totally here for it. The Jackathon Queen played lots of music from Chicago, including several tracks by Green Velvet. This was our pick of the bunch though.


Mennie | Pressure Disco (Laidlaw Remix) | INFUSE | 2020
played by Mason Collective

Tying in Mason Collective for a couple of dates underlines Defected's commitment to cater to the youthful end of Ibiza's visitor spectrum. Since their own edit of Peru is currently in the hands of a select few only, this one from INFUSE gets the nod instead.

Defected still pushing things forward.


Jamiroquai | Space Cowboy (David Morales Remix) | Sony | 1995
played by Melé

Next a certified Ibiza anthem courtesy of Melé. No matter how many times we hear it, we can never quite get enough of David Morales' chart-invading Jamiroquai remix. Quietly confident we saw an off-duty Heidi belting this one out backstage too. Go on girl!


Melé | Groove La Afrika | Club Bad | 2021
played by Melé

Then we had one from the man himself. Melé's trademark tribal grooves sent the dancefloor into spasm - as well as the rest of the booth. This one has shades of late '90s Basement Jaxx for our money. Melé is a recurring face this summer, so we're sure we'll be hearing this one plenty more.


LEON & Mr Diamond | Rum | Cuttin' Headz | 2022
played by Sosa

This week's go home set went to another Liverpudlian, this time rising talent Sosa. A fresh track from The Martinez Brothers' label Cuttin' Headz ensured the dancefloor were still dancing well into the morning. We reckon this has the legs to be Ibiza 2022 anthem. Watch this space.
