For 20 years, legendary New York record label Def Mix have pioneered the house scene on a worldwide level, laying the foundations as the scene first broke all those years ago. Def Mix have since blazed a musical path still emulated today, opening the doors for so many others to follow. 2007 will be a monumental year for Def Mix as they embark on a mammoth world tour to celebrate 20 years in the business, on the dancefloors of their favorite clubs throughout the globe.
In their own hometown, Def Mix has chosen to celebrate their 20th Anniversary party at NYC’s Best Superclub Pacha New York on Saturday, October 13th, along with a triple disc mixed album commemorating 20 years, to be released on British premier music label Defected.
The album, "Best of Def Mix", is slated for release on October 22nd and will include many of Def Mix Productions' classic singles and remixes, including exclusive, previously unreleased tracks from the Def Mix camp. This will be the first time the remix of Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker" and U2's "Lemon" have been included on any compilation.
Def Mix is the brainchild of two legends in the club culture movement---Judy Weinstein, heralded as one of the most powerful women in dance music, and David Morales, Grammy winning Producer/Remixer and internationally renowned DJ. The 20-year-old company has sustained an impressive client roster that, in addition to Morales, includes Grammy winning Producer/Remixer Frankie Knuckles, as well as SAW Recordings' Satoshi Tomiie, who also claims credit for a long history of production and musicianship. The youngest member of the team, Hector Romero, has recently made his mark DJing internationally, all the while continuing the position he has held for 10 years as label manager for both Def Mix and Saw Recordings.
Def Mix DJs have played at virtually every hot spot in the world, while the three flagship DJ / Producer / Artists have worked with nearly every superstar in all genres of music over the past 20 years. Their work assisted in creating club and street versions of Pop radio hits for such artists as Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Sting, Ice T, Madonna, Backstreet Boys, Bjork, U2, Gloria Estefan, Seal, Kylie Minogue, Julio, Iglesias, Shaba Ranks, Maxi Priest, Kelli Ali, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Enrique Iglesias, Sarah McMachlan and Kelis. In addition, they have produced and worked with the coolest icons in the clubbing world, creating classics like "Tears", "In The Ghetto", "Love In Traffic"," Needing You", "The Whistle Song" and many more.
Their celebrity as innovators in the club culture movement from the 80's onward is world-renowned---easily making them one of the most influential American brands in clubland and the music business. And Def Mix continues to prosper with each new generation of clubbers. Through high profile tours Morales, Knuckles, Tomiie and Romero entertain several million enthusiasts ranging in age 17 to 30 plus annually.
