Out of the many events which Defected run nowadays, Defected Croatia is probably the crown in their jewel. Having done events in Ibiza for many years, the label saw the way the winds were blowing on the island and branched out into The Garden Resort…
Welcome to another Monday morning with us at Ears To The House - let's get straight into the new working week by getting onto the subject of DJ Sneak. We quite like Sneak here at HQ - he's one of the more upfront guys in…
59-year old occasional DJ and even more occasional music producer Derrick May from Detroit has found a new hobby. This is something which Ears To The House can get well and truly behind - this article on Develop Good Habits lists 22 benefits of having…
A few weeks ago, Ears To The House brought you the news that American house DJ and producer Danny Tenaglia has taken to showing off his massive trunk to promote his latest gig. And it's not the sort of trunk you'd have to subscribe to…
