Simon Dunmore: "This is my musical DNA. My journey. The artists, DJ’s, producers, labels and scenes that inspired me since my youth, that compelled me to DJ, to promote events, to work in the music industry and eventually start my own label. A selection that will go someway to giving you an insight into the music I love and continues to influence everything we aspire to achieve at Defected Records, as we celebrate 20 years in the House!"
