‘What song made you fall in love with house music?’, we asked across our social media channels. House-heads all over the world rifled through their track lists and vinyl collections to dig out the tunes that meant the most to them soon creating an amazing compilation of house music memories over the years.
The great diversity in replies once again evidenced house music knows no age limit or genre boundaries. From late 80s/ 90s house classics to newer tracks with only a few years in age, house lovers took to the internet to share their earliest and most sentimental memories.
Members of the Defected familia including Low Steppa, Amine Edge & Dance, Sam Divine, DJ E-Clyps, Jacky, Sandy Rivera, Mousse. T, Josh Butler and more took to Twitter to share their chosen tracks - most certainly a pivotal moments in their careers.
