When we reached out to our community last week asking what were your favourite remixes of all time we never could have anticipated the incredible response we got - from modern club cuts to legendary classics it's clear the Defected family were well versed in dance music's finest remixes.
Inevitably it got us thinking at Defected HQ about our favourite remixes, from the totally transformative to the subtle and understated. After speaking to some of our DJ's and staff, we managed to narrow it down to seventeen of the top picks, check them out below:
Simon Dunmore: Noir & Haze - Around (Solomun Vox Mix)
