What Visitors Can Find on the Defected Records Website

Updated

Defected.com is the official home of Defected Records, a UK house music label. The site is organised around four things you can act on right away: new music releases, radio shows, live events, and label news. If you want to hear what the label is putting out, find a show to stream, or check where Defected is hosting a party, the homepage links you straight to each of those sections. The site is in English and built for fans, listeners, and event-goers rather than for account-based services.

Music: Latest Releases and New Albums

The releases section is the most active part of the site. It lists new albums, EPs, and singles with artist name, title, and release date, and each entry links to its source. Recent examples from the homepage include:

Release Artist Date
Somehow It Flies (debut album) Oden & Fatzo 16/10/26
Circles EP Steve Bug & Stefan Braatz 09/10/26
Paradise Sam Divine 09/10/26
Alive On Arrival (debut album) MelÉ 25/09/26
MAKE IT HOT! Rae Sada 23/10/26

A "Show more" link and an "All new releases" entry let you browse beyond the homepage list. If your goal is to follow the label's output, this is the section to start with.

Radio: Defected Radio and Glitterbox Radio

The site hosts two regular radio shows:

  • Defected Radio Show — hosted by Rimarkable in the featured listing, with episodes such as a Croatia Special hosted by Sam Divine (11.07.25). Each show page has a "Listen" link.
  • Glitterbox Radio Show — hosted by Yasmin, listed alongside Defected Radio.

These pages are the place to go if you want to stream a show or catch a specific episode rather than browse releases.

Events: ADE, NYE, and Destination Parties

The events section covers both club nights and larger trips. Current listings on the homepage include:

  • Defected ADE events
  • Defected NYE 2026
  • Defected Manchester — NYE
  • Tickets for Malta 2027 (announced as on sale)

An "All Defected Events" link leads to the full calendar. If you are planning travel around a Defected party, check this section for dates and ticket announcements.

News and Newsletter

A news feed carries label announcements — for example, the Oden & Fatzo debut album, Malta 2027 tickets going on sale, and Defected and Glitterbox announcing North and South NYE parties. A newsletter sign-up is also present on the site, which is the way to get these announcements delivered rather than checking back manually.

How to Use the Site

  1. To hear new music: open the Latest Releases list, pick a title, and follow its source link.
  2. To stream a show: go to Defected Radio or Glitterbox Radio and use the "Listen" link on the episode page.
  3. To find a party: check Events for ADE, NYE, Manchester, or Malta listings, or open "All Defected Events."
  4. To stay updated: read the News section or sign up for the newsletter.

One practical note: the homepage opens with a cookie consent prompt, so you will need to respond to that before browsing. Beyond that, the site presents itself as a public-facing label and events hub; the available page information does not describe paid memberships or login-only areas, so treat any account or purchase step as something to confirm on the specific release or ticket page.
