<\/p>\nDefected continues to set out plans for its busiest year of events yet, announcing its North and South America tour this March and April across five major US cities and two shows in Brazil. Joining Defected\u2019s ever-expanding schedule for 2022, which includes the brand new Defected Malta festival this October, the\u00a0award-winning, already sold-out Defected Croatia festival in August, and club shows and festivals across the UK and Europe, this tour will kick off what is set to be a long hot summer of house music. Bringing a host of A-List artists in tow for the tour, including A-Trak, Floorplan, John Summit, Catz \u2018N Dogz, Ferreck Dawn, Eats Everything, Sam Divine, and more, this spring will be the first time the London-based music company has hosted shows in the States since 2019 and in Brazil for over a decade.<\/p>\n
Following the cancellation of Defected\u2019s 2020 USA tour due to global lockdowns, the label comes back fighting with its first transatlantic outing since the return to dancefloors at the end of last year. Kicking things off in Los Angeles at expansive Hollywood nightclub Sound, Defected then head up Highway 1 to warehouse-style venue Halcyon San Francisco for a second California show. The label then stops at Miami Music Week to throw an epic pool party during the festival at the stunning Island Gardens, before heading to renowned Brooklyn warehouse The Great Hall at Avant Gardner. Closing out the US tour, Defected\u2019s final stop is The Concourse Project in Austin, a mammoth space with world-class production capabilities.<\/p>\n
Defected\u2019s growing fanbase in South America demonstrates the fully global appetite for the label and clubbing brand. Heading to Brazil\u2019s biggest city for the first night, Defected will take over S\u0101o Paolo\u2019s ARCA, a 6.4k capacity venue in the heart of the city. The following night Defected heads to Green Valley in Cambori\u00fa, five-time winner of DJ Mag\u2019s Best Club Award. Located in the heart of the Brazilian jungle and a truly unique clubbing experience often described to be closer to that of a festival, Green Valley has been an unmatched success story in the Brazilian electronic scene.<\/p>\n
Demonstrating the breadth of talent across the Defected roster, the North and South America tour showcases talent from both sides of the pond, bringing European names such as Polish house heavyweights Catz \u2018n Dogz, the Netherlands\u2019 man-of-the-moment Ferreck Dawn, Spanish mainstay David Penn and huge UK names like Gorgon City, Sam Divine, and Mel\u00e9. Legendary Canadian selector A-Trak also joins the tour alongside homegrown US talent such techno pioneer Robert Hood\u2019s joint venture with daughter Lyric Floorplan, rising star LP Giobbi and Beatport\u2019s #1 selling artist John Summit. Finally, repping Brazil is established DJ and producer Ashibah and rising star Aline Rocha.
