The original creators of this great song which we’ve all enjoyed so much, so many times, deserve all credits so please allow me to take you back to 1998!
In that time, producer Jay Sealee came up with a song called ‘Home’, sang by Julie McKnight.
Hitproducers duo ‘Knee Deep’ (Sebastian Döring and Thorsten Freese) jumped right on it and made a smashin’ version, spread all over the globe on the world famous label Defected.
Their mix from June ’98 immediately inspired us to make a new version of the song.

Enjoy!
Recorded by Arne van der Heijden, Aremiti Chansin, Juan Pablo Thummler & DJamal Fateh at SAE Institute Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Julie McKnight 'Home'
3 juni 2002
"I have no idea why this was not a smash. At the time I felt that Julie was a lyrical genius and hot on the heels of ‘Finally’ it had to be huge....it wasn’t. An A&R wake up call and the end to a pretty tough year. I still love the track though!" Simon Dunmore - Defected
