Defected takeover with KARIZMA B2B DJ SPEN in The Lab IBZ

Coors Light & Mixmag present The Lab IBZ from Sol House, Ibiza.
More Defected Records: / defectedrecords
Lab IBZ is powered by Void Acoustics: voidacoustics.com
Between June 22 and July 9 Mixmag and Coors Light are taking over Rooftop Nine for a series of very special Labs from the White Isle, powered by Void Acoustics. We've hand-picked some of the finest artists in the game to spin their interpretation on the original Balearic and sunset groove that Ibiza was founded on.
For our final instalment of The Lab IBZ this summer we’re thrilled to be hosting a Defected Records takeover on the blissful Rooftop Nine with Karizma and DJ Spen spinning back-to-back.
It’s been an amazing summer so far out on the White Isle, and our closing party looks set to mark a special ending to the series. Karizma’s innovation in the field of DJing has consistently impressed across his illustrious career, with the Baltimore native showcasing a mastery of manipulating music in unique and thrilling ways. His R2 Records imprint has also been responsible for bringing incredible sounds from the likes of Ron Trent, Osunlade and Louie Vega to the world.
Fellow Maryland artist DJ Spen has been in the game for three decades and has made an impact on the global dance scene with releases on labels such as Defected, Black Vinyl Records and the output of his own Basement Boys Records, which counts Glenn Underground and Ultra Naté among its roster.
Each DJ has a longstanding relationship with Defected, including their clubland hit remix of ‘Bad Habit’. Following The Lab session, the two kindred spirits will be playing in tandem at Defected’s residency at Eden, and you can also catch them at Glitterbox parties at Hï Ibiza and Defected’s Croatia festival across the remainder of summer. Tickets for the latter are on sale now and can be purchased here.

Only a true House Head could appreciate what these 2 are doing here, not only are they literally remixing songs live but they are playing and cueing songs with out talking to each other all while keeping the music rolling that's what makes them such a great duo and as for those people complaining about the effects...stop focusing on the trivial and focus on the pure skill necessary to accomplish this level of mixing ...no sync button ....no preset playlist ...i'm proud to say that they are from my city Baltimore

[@Sean_est76]

These guys are fucking brilliant and that’s the end of it!

[@Bianca_Ria]

Couldn’t agree more… who listens to sets and only cares about the effects anyway?? There’d be no reason to add effects if it weren’t for the beats mixed in the first place

[@colinjessimer1150]

All killer, no filler - Best B2b duo you will see

[@spencergreen5934]

Why is no one dancing, my legs would have fallen off from dancing to this hot ish.

ALlRIGHT!!! Work that bounce.,you two.

[@kevinwilliamson2479]

The tunes that these two have made together and separately is just astounding. Seen both play live on many occasions (Southport Weekender, Scottish Soulful Weekend) and they could destroy anyone in a heartbeat with their skill, knowledge and passion for this scene; our scene....House Music ❤️😀❤️😀❤️😀 I thought Carl Cox was the master with 3 decks, but this......4 decks and two mixers???? That's just fucking cool.

[@TheDaz31]

Kevin Williamson It’s actually 6 decks brother 😉

[@grant4980]

A reply 4 years later, Kevin! 🤣 Tht's the power of what we call House Music! I too have seen these guys live a good few times and also at Southport Weekender/Beautiful People events. We were lucky to be very close to watch the amazing skills from the VIP area at The Southport Weekender when it was at Crystal Palace in London. A real joy and worth the journey from Edinburgh alone! .#HouseMusicAllLifeLong Hope you're still Groovin like we are! Off to see Marshall Jefferson & Todd Terry in North Berwick, of all places, in Aug 2022!

[@djsenseiidjkj6113]

Nice Set there are some haters on here. I see many people don't like the effects. We Black People Invited effects that the world like. House started in Chicago USA, so as mixing, dj set, scratching in New York City. WE black people are very creative. This is what you are listening too.Creativity. It's a black thing you wouldn't understand. Check the History

[@rodneygill1638]

House didnt start in Chicago!

[@kacywilson]

i think you mean invented, not invited. the reality is everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if their opinion is uninformed. most complaining couldn't do what these guys are doing (mixing live by ear across four decks, playing off each other, etc.). we invented scratching and turntablism in general, but that doesn't mean every DJ needs to strive to incorporate the right amount into their sets. Similarly with the DJM900/CDJ2000 technology...there is a sweet spot that puts the right amount of seasoning. clearly some here don't like much seasoning at all, and some of us like things spicy, but the best DJs know how to please a wide array of palattes at once. ultimately, they only had the crowed there to feed off of, and maybe they enjoyed the spiciness...

[@geraldst-jean7621]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jimmcdonagh1385]

Masterclass!

[@andrehunter8137]

AWESOME!!!

[@noseycomic499]

Personally I liked there use of effects. It's timely but not overdone! Don't let this dissolve into a vinyl-vs-cdj-controller of debate. It is called interpretation or maybe re-interpretation. Hell, half the people are standing around watching! It's more a performance than a dance set. These boys can rock a dance floor!

[@deejayromao1]

Boys good, play a lot IIIIIUUUPP !!!

[@Yourfairweatherfriend]

Moneesh Arora yes I agree

[@xxxMOTHExxx]

but only when you listen it at home - live it's necessary to create more feeling

[@trashpolicy]

i think it is all about the djs mood and crowd flow and like mattW said, listen it at home you tend to analyze more the technical aspects
