20 slides isn’t enough 🥹
This year was extra special to have my Dad with me along for the ride 🎢 (And for emotional support for all my 6am closing sets 🤪 )
10 years of Defected Croatia and every year tops the last . I’ve seen it grow from 600 people in 2016 to 6000 house heads for ‘One Last Dance’ in Tisneyland ✨ And boy did we give it a good send off 😮💨
Huge love to all the incredible Defected office staff , past and present who work tirelessly all year round to make sure the festival runs like magic from start to finish 🪄 The bookers, stage managers , media teams , socials , sound techs, dancers , garden staff, boat staff , the amazing girls in the production office , the drivers , AL’s, D Store . The whole team are 10/10 🤌🏻 And without them none of this would be possible .
Special thanks to Simon Dunmore for creating the best festival on the planet and Wez Saunders for continuing the vision and making it is what it is today.
Extended thanks to Ajoia & Smoking Jo for bringing their little bit of magic morning wellness to the festival . All the DJ’s & performers who have created so much joy , happiness and core memories for so many people over the past 10 years .
And to our community who continue to bring so much love and energy across all 4 stages . Whether it’s Day zero or Day five . Your charisma and stamina is unmatched 👏
DEFECTED FOREVER
ONE LAST DANCE
OVER AND OUT ✌🏻
