Defected celebrate the month know across the world as Movember with both a party and a musical collection of Mo’ Grooves.
For the last few years, the month formerly known as November has been suitably rebranded Movember around the world so people anywhere can participate in the sprouting and grooming of moustaches in order to raise awareness of prostate and testicular cancers affecting men.
Maybe you are already proudly sporting a ‘tache and getting your groom on, or maybe you’re one of those shouting ‘Movember’ at those running the gauntlet of the daily commute? Either way it’s all good fun for an exceptional cause.
The official Defected team – the Defected Handlebar Hustlers – fundraising effort began grooming on 1st November and the response has already been phenomenal, with the team raising over £3,000, with two weeks left to go in order to reach our target total of £5,000.
In addition, we are releasing Mo’Grooves… a digital compilation of unmixed tracks donated by some of the world’s best DJs and producers, the proceeds of which will go towards our goal of raising a shed load of cash for this worthy cause.

The album will include 13 specially selected tracks, some previously unreleased, from a plethora of dance acts and labels including Defected, Toolroom and Hospital Records as well as individual tracks from 2000 And One, X-Press 2, Copyright, Funkagenda, Faze Action, the Shapeshifters and Danism.
Then for those based in London, there will be a special Get Your Groom On event taking place on Wednesday 30 November at famous Horse & Groom on Curtain Road, Shoreditch. It’s a special one-off charity event for disco dancers and music lovers where all donations at the door and 10% of the total bar revenue will be donated to Movember and, should you require it, the Movember Grooming Team will be on hand to give your hard earned stubble a little professional attention.
For those of you who have the urge to give generously, please visit the Defected Handlebar Hustler Movember page, featuring a team of moustachioed dance music fund raisers, including Simon Dunmore, Copyright, Duane Harden, Franky Rizardo, James Talk and Ridney.
