Honey Dijon, Horse Meat Disco, and Carl Craig Among Artists Announced for Defected Malta 2025 Lineup
Defected Records has consistently gone beyond the traditional role of a record label. The renowned house music brand has hosted some of the most vibrant parties worldwide. The upcoming Defected Malta event, scheduled for October 2-5 at various locations on the picturesque Mediterranean island, promises to be no different, especially with its recently announced lineup.
This year’s lineup features prominent names in contemporary house music like Honey Dijon, Nic Fanciulli, Hannah Wants, Eats Everything, Riva Starr, Purple Disco Machine, and TSHA. The lineup also includes early Detroit techno pioneer Carl Craig, renowned turntablist A-Trak, and innovative artist Henrik Schwarz, adding a diverse range of sounds.
Familiar faces integral to the brand are also part of the Defected Malta 2025 lineup. Notably, Terry Farley, DJ, producer, and co-founder of the iconic fanzine Boy’s Own, whose involvement in house music dates back to the genre’s very beginnings.
As always, the artists featured in Defected Malta will perform across four unique venues on the island. UNO houses multiple spaces, both indoor and outdoor. Café del Mar is a luxurious beach club located in St. Paul’s Bay. The Ditch, once a moat, is now adorned with lush gardens, while Fort St Elmo offers a historic backdrop with artifacts dating back 7,000 years. Together, these venues will create an unparalleled house music experience.
Presale tickets will be available starting at 12pm GMT on Thursday, February 27, with general sales commencing at 12pm GMT on Friday, February 28. For early access, sign up on the Defected Records website.
