Defected Records

Defected family returns to the label as Ferreck Dawn delivers ‘Say What You Mean’. The Dutch house artist is one of the most prolific names in the Defected Records catalogue, with over 10 new label releases since 2020, from ‘In Arms’ with Robosonic all the way to ‘Deep Inside’ with Hayley May. In addition to his sleek, groove-laden house tracks, Ferreck Dawn continues to represent the brand globally, playing for its upcoming Ibiza season at Chinois and flagship festival in Malta. His latest offering on the London label, ‘Say What You Mean’ combines Ferreck’s cool house feel with vocalist Stevie Appleton’s soulful tone, creating a driving record that is equal parts radio-ready and club-focussed.

International producer, DJ and tastemaker Melé presents ‘So High’ with UK rapper Jords and multi-faceted producer Wonky Logic, the first single from his forthcoming Defected LP. The Club Bad founder is known for his high energy and percussive house sound, lighting up dancefloors around the world from his native UK to his newfound home of Miami. Melé has built a strong relationship with house institution Defected Records, most recently headlining their sold-out fabric London show in February 2026, while also playing at their flagship parties in Croatia, Malta and Ibiza for many years. ‘So High’ heralds the release of his upcoming LP with the label later in 2026, with this first single spotlighting Melé’s love for hip-hop alongside Jords, an established London rapper whose flow has recently featured on records with J Clu, Kobie Dee and Marie Dahlstrom. Also bringing his prowess to the release is Wonky Logic, a London-based multi-instrumentalist who has worked closely with artists like Nala Sinephro and Nubya Garcia, as well as performing and recording with Nightmares on Wax, K.O.G and Yellow Days. Together the three artists deliver ‘So High’; Melé’s percussive expertise combines with Jords’ dynamic lyricism and distinctly UK sound as Wonky Logic’s world-class guitar riffs bring a live sensibility, bridging the gap between electronic and instrumental. Promising a unique sound that brings together house and hip-hop influences in one sleek package, Defected is very proud to present much more from Melé in 2026 and beyond.

Parisian electronic favourites Oden & Fatzo return to Defected alongside LA rapper and songwriter Barney Bones for ‘My Temptations’. The relationship between eclectic DJ and producer duo Oden & Fatzo and Defected grows stronger year on year, with the eclectic duo set to play at all of the London label’s key events this year, including its 2026 Ibiza season at Chinois and flagship festivals in both Croatia and Malta. Coming in hot after a headline show at OUTERNET in the heart of London city centre in March 2026, Oden & Fatzo deliver their latest single alongside Los Angeles musician Barney Bones - a rising vocalist and writer who has worked with dance music tastemakers like Channel Tres, DRAMA and KAYTRANADA. Spotlighting Oden & Fatzo’s signature, glossy French touch-inspired sonic, ‘My Temptations’ brings together filter-led production and funk-laden basslines with Barney Bones’ modern vocals and effortless style.
