EnglishHow to Keep Up With New Defected Records Releases and News
Updated
The fastest way to follow Defected Records is to use the label's own website, defected.com, which collects new releases, news, radio shows and events on one page. The Latest Releases list shows each title with its artist and release date, the News items cover albums and event announcements, Defected Radio offers episodes to listen to, and a Newsletter sign-up is available on the site. This suits anyone who wants a single, label-maintained source rather than scattered social posts.
What the site gives you
The homepage is organised into a few blocks that answer different questions:
| Section | What it shows | Use it to |
|---|---|---|
| News | Dated items such as album releases and ticket announcements | Catch label-level announcements |
| Latest Releases | Release title, artist and date, with a "Source" link | See what is new and open the release |
| Defected Radio | Episodes such as the Defected Radio Show and Glitterbox Radio Show, with hosts named | Listen to mixes and shows |
| Events | ADE events, NYE parties, Manchester shows and an "All Defected Events" link | Find upcoming parties |
| Newsletter | A sign-up block | Get updates without revisiting the site |
The page also carries a cookie consent notice, so expect to make a choice there before browsing further.
Step by step: checking what is new
- Open defected.com. The homepage loads with the news and release blocks already visible.
- Scan the News list first. Each item is dated, for example "16/10/26 Oden & Fatzo release debut album Somehow It Flies" or "07/10/26 Tickets for Malta 2027 On Sale Now." Dates appear in day/month/year form, so 16/10/26 means 16 October 2026.
- Move to Latest Releases. Entries pair a title with an artist and a date, such as "MAKE IT HOT! — Rae Sada — 23/10/26" or "Paradise — Sam Divine — 09/10/26." The "Source" label next to each entry is the link to open that release.
- Use "Show more" / "All new releases" at the end of the list if you want to go beyond the most recent items shown.
- Check Defected Radio for the current episode. The page lists shows with their hosts, for example the Defected Radio Show hosted by Sam Divine and the Glitterbox Radio Show hosted by Yasmin, plus a "Listen" link.
- Look at Events if you care about dates rather than music: the block links to Defected ADE events, Defected NYE 2026, Defected Manchester NYE, and an all-events page.
Expected result: within a couple of minutes you know the newest releases, the latest announcements and whether a radio episode or event is current.
Using the newsletter instead of checking manually
If you do not want to revisit the site, the Newsletter block on the homepage is the low-effort option: enter your email and receive updates. The site does not state a sending frequency, so treat it as an occasional digest rather than a guaranteed weekly mail. If inbox volume matters to you, checking the Latest Releases list yourself gives you more control over timing.
Common snags
- Dates are not in US order. 09/10/26 is 9 October 2026, not September 10.
- Release lists are long. The homepage shows a subset; the "Show more" and "All new releases" links are how you reach older entries.
- News and releases overlap. An album can appear both as a news item and as a release entry, so do not assume two separate announcements.
- Radio and events live in separate blocks. If you only scan releases, you will miss tour and ticket news.
A practical routine
For a quick weekly check: open the homepage, read the top three or four News items, scan the first screen of Latest Releases, and glance at the Radio block for a new episode. If you want to be notified rather than remember, sign up for the newsletter once and keep the site as a backup for release dates and event tickets.
