Labels We Love: Defected

In our latest installment of Labels We Love, we are paying tribute to Defected. Defected was established in 1999 by Simon Dunmore and is one of the most respected house labels in the world. Defected has paved the way for house music in the UK and remained a well-respected constant in the music industry for over 20 years. Defected has released a number of records that have had a significant impact on the house scene. King’s of Tomorrow’s “Finally” was voted 31st best track of 2000-2010 by leading electronic dance music portal Resident Advisor, and is still a regular feature of DJ sets to this day. Swiss duo Shakedown’s “At Night” reached No. 6 on the UK singles chart in 2002. And No.1 on the UK Dance Chart.

Established in 1999 by format AM:PM and Cooltempo A&R man Simon Dunmore and initially funded by London Nightclub and label Ministry of Sounds, Defected’s first release was Soulsearcher’s “I Can’t Get Enough”, which reach No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart. This early success was followed up with Roger Sanchez’s “Another Chance”, which hit No.1 on the UK Singles Chart in 2001. Iconic club tracks such as Masters At Work’s “To Be In Love” and Paul Johnson’s “Get Get Down” dropped in Defected’s first year, followed by Bob Sinclair’s “I Feel for You” and King’s of Tomorrow’s “Finally”, with Julie McKnight.
