Defected Records is a multi-award-winning independent British record label specialising in house music recordings, playlists, internationally syndicated radio shows, events and festivals, publishing, artist booking, artist management, promotions and more. Established in 1999 and now resembling more of a music media group with the label as its epicentre, the recipe for Defected Records’ success over the last 25 years has been its ability to evolve and adapt within the industry, while maintaining robust cultural values and musical identity. One of the longest running independent labels of its kind, Defected continues to advocate tirelessly for the cultural impact of house music in the UK and remains a well-respected constant in the music industry as it enters its next 25 years in business.

With an online community of over 12 million, Defected was one of the first house labels to embrace digital technologies and continues to be at the forefront of digital innovations, while cultivating a uniquely engaged audience, by far the largest of its kind. 2024 saw Defected expand its offerings with the collaborative Together series, ambitious livestreams, a world tour and limited-edition merch including ‘Defected: 25 Years In The House’, a 320-page hardback offering a “refreshingly candid insight into the moments that have defined the label’s history” - Clash Magazine. Appointed in 2022, Defected CEO and co-owner Wez Saunders describes the company’s mission as ultimately “to service our community while helping artists build longer lasting, more impactful, and more profitable careers”.

Established in 1999 by Simon Dunmore, Defected's first release was Soulsearcher's ‘Can't Get Enough’, which reached No. 5 in the UK singles chart. This early success was followed up with Roger Sanchez's ‘Another Chance’, which hit No. 1 in the UK singles chart in 2001. As well as a number of sister labels including DFTD, Glitterbox Recordings, Classic Music Company, Soulfuric, 4 To The Floor and Stay True Sounds, Defected also owns and manages artist projects and several catalogues of heritage house imprints.

Defected’s catalogue includes the work of artists such as Masters At Work, Honey Dijon, Inner City, Idris Elba, Dennis Ferrer, Marc Kinchen (MK), Sam Divine, Jamie Jones, John Summit, Love Regenerator (Calvin Harris), The Martinez Brothers, Hannah Wants, Duck Sauce, Gorgon City, Girls of the Internet, Peggy Gou and many more. In 2017, CamelPhat & Elderbrook’s ‘Cola’ was nominated for ‘Best Dance Recording’ at the Grammys, as well as at the Ivor Novello awards and is now multi-platinum. Endor’s ‘Pump It Up’ reached #8 in the UK OCC in 2019 and went multi-platinum, both unprecedented successes for an independent house music label in the UK. Grammy nods have since come for Honey Dijon, Luke Solomon and various Defected Music-published writers for Beyoncé’s Renaissance in 2023.

Most recently, in its 25th anniversary year, Defected paired talent from the label’s storied past with stars of its future as artists like Todd Edwards, Shermanology, Rudimental, TSHA, Mochakk, Kings Of Tomorrow, Julie McKnight, David Guetta and THEMBA, with many more appearing throughout the extra collaborative series Together. The label also continued to release genre-defining successes including Purple Disco Machine, Oden & Fatzo and delivering a multi-single deal with British icon Idris Elba as IDRIS.

Defected runs events globally, from standalone club nights and festival stages to its many Ibiza residencies since 2003; summer of 2024 saw Defected, Glitterbox and D4 D4NCE hold three lengthy residencies at Ushuaïa Ibiza, Hï Ibiza and O Beach Ibiza respectively. The group’s festival portfolio includes Defected Croatia, a flagship event that draws more than 5,000 people from all over the world annually, as well as Defected Malta and various other large capacity events and new ventures into Dubai. Defected’s event offering has continued to grow in recent years, including sold out shows at world-renowned venues such as London’s Printworks, DRUMSHEDS and Studio 338, Manchester’s The Warehouse Project, House of Yes in NYC, stages at Glastonbury and more for its 25th anniversary World Tour, with 2024 seeing the brand debut in Argentina, Canada, Cyprus, Italy, Poland and continue to expand in familiar territories.

Manual Music was started by Dutch DJ/producer Paul Hazendonk, initially as a sublabel of the infamous Basic Beat company just after the summer of 2005 . The label quickly gained international fame with it’s first release ‘Robotfood’ by Petter and has built a solid reputation ever since.

In 2009, Paul Hazendonk left the Basic Beat company after more then 8,5 years and adapted the Manual brand name for his own company, simply calling it Manual Music. Nowdays Manual Music is a company taking care of management, publishing, digital distribution and ofcourse releasing music on several (sub)labels in various genres within the electronic music scene. Every now and then Manual also hosts an area or a party at various locations, but Manual Music is not a party organisation.

Next to the main label Manual Music (electronica / progressive techno) there are also the Stolen Moments (techno), Melomane (techhouse), Adult Records (hardgroove techno), Groove Worxx (hardgroove techno) and Work Hard Play Hard (funky / melodic techno) labels. On top of that the Manual Music company also owns the catalogue for now defunkt labels Lo-FiSoul, Relatives, Technique and Fly Life Records.

After 6 years Manual Music is still going strong. With an ever increasing fanbase and expanding brand name, the future for Manual is looking bright!

“Toolroom Records has come a long way in 15 years, from Mark Knight’s garden shed to international success. But it’s the development of new talent that sets the label apart.” ~ Mixmag

 Toolroom Records is known internationally as one of the most innovative major brands in dance music.After 15 years in the music industry, we are known for our passion for quality House music, and our close connection with the #ToolroomFamily – our international community of fans. Over the years we’ve signed and even discovered some legendary artists; we’ve led the way in an ever-changing industry, developing artists and even evolving ourselves – and this is just the beginning.Toolroom Records began in 2003 when emerging DJ/producer Mark Knight and brother Stuart Knight started the label. Quickly developing a fan base of professional and aspiring DJs, the label became synonymous with credible House and Tech House.‘Our mantra from the beginning was a simple one’ say Mark. ‘We wanted to be a record label run by DJs, for DJs. The kind of label that when you saw the artwork behind the counter of the record shop, you’d buy on sight.’Rising in tandem with the career of label figurehead Mark, Toolroom rapidly grew into an internationally known brand through some defining club records – most notably Mark Knight’s remixes of ‘Man With The Red Face’ and ‘You’ve Got The Love’, among a host of original material from Mark and other heavyweight dance artists.Toolroom has also diversified beyond a traditional record label model. We have successfully expanded into events, with Toolroom residencies and festival appearances all over the world.  Moving towards other media platforms, Toolroom Radio, hosted by Mark Knight, is an overwhelming success with over 16 million listens per week, and Toolroom Academy – the educational arm of the brand – offering a range of innovative production and DJ courses to the next generation of electronic music artists.‘It’s very a much a family thing’ says Mark. ‘When we talk about the Toolroom Family’, that’s not just a marketing slogan. We’re normal, level-headed people, but we’ve always dreamed big.’With a strong musical vision and a tight artist roster, this is still the start of a journey for Toolroom – and we want to share it with you.
