Defected’s Sondela imprint announces Ibiza’s first Afro house residency at Bora Bora

Ibiza is getting its first Afro house residency, helmed by Defected's Sondela label at beach club Bora Bora.

Label heads Sef Kombo and Louie Dunmore will lead the Monday night party, which opens on 4th July and runs through 29th August. The complete DJ line-ups are still under wraps, but expect key figures from the London Afro house scene like Kitty Amor, who'll round out the trio of residents. 

Defected Records launched Sondela with Dunmore and Kombo in January 2021 to highlight Afro-house sounds, with all profits donated to Bridges For Music. So far they've shared a steady stream of releases on Bandcamp, a vinyl compilation EP and hosted parties at London venue Ministry Of Sound.
