Producers and DJs China Charmeleon, Fka Mash and myself will be bringing our African centric selection of music, while Sio will be DJing, singing and performing on hers.” – Allan Nicoll (Kid Fonque), Stay True Sounds
THE REMEDY PROJECT
“The Remedy Project returns with its notorious and eclectic sounds, after 2023’s takeover saw Jamz Supernova play one of the best sets of the weekend, period.
This year, the pioneering UK DJ and producer Wookie headlines. Close Counters and Makèz will also make their debut in Malta, both standouts in the realm of modern, fusion, electronic dance producers. Expect a mix of genres, tempos and energies - we’ve got your Remedy.” – Melvo Baptiste, The Remedy Project
FAITH X NU GROOVE
“Faith, the fanzine dedicated to preserving underground club history and Nu Groove, one of the first of the great New York House labels combine for a very special stage takeover at this years Defected Malta festival.
UK house heroes X-Press 2 and Smokin' Jo join deep house don Deetron alongside Faith and Nu Groove residents.” – Simon Dawson, Faith
“First time for Nu Groove at Defected Malta, and we are hosting the Roots stage at UNO with Faith, and a boat party.
Deetron rocked the Nu Groove stage for us at Defected Croatia last year, and now he joins us in Malta alongside myself, X-Press 2, Smokin’ Jo and the Faith crew Terry Farley, Stuart Patterson and Dave Jarvis. It’s going to be a celebration on underground classics, forgotten gems and new timeless sounds.” – Seamus Haji, Nu Groove
