Defected label partners with Twitch to host virtual club series

The three consecutive weekly events will be streamed via Twitch’s Squad Stream function, which enables live events to feature three virtual rooms with DJs playing their sets in each one, allowing viewers to go in and out the rooms as if traversing through different stages at a festival.

The first virtual event will feature house titans Louie Vega and The Martinez Brothers on the decks in Room 1. They will be joined by Eli Escobar and Luke Solomon, who will play in Classic Music Company’s Room 2, while Defected resident DJ Darius Syrossian will be in Room 3.

In celebration of Pride, the second instalment of the series will be hosted by Defected’s sister label, Glitterbox, which is renowned for its catalogue of disco grooves and funky house heaters. Artists performing at the show include The Shapeshifters, Horse Meat Disco, Fat Tony, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Jellybean Benitez, Kiddy Smile and Ralphi Rosario.

The final show will take the Defected WWWorldwide audience to Ibiza with Ferremck Dawn and Sam Divine in Defected’s Room 1. The Cafe Mambo’s Room 2 will feature sets from Mambo Brothers, David Penn and Mamu Gonzalez, with Mike Dunn and Terry Farley in 4 to the Floor’s Room 3.

The Defected WWWorldwide virtual club experience follows the label’s nine-week virtual festival residency, which attracted more than 18.5 million views.
