Defected

British dance music label founded by Simon Dunmore.
Former Cooltempo and AM:PM A&R Dunmore incorporated parent company Defected Records Ltd. in September 1998 and launched Defected, with funding from Ministry Of Sound, on 1 January 1999, when A&M's owner PolyGram formally merged with Universal Music Group.
Janet Bell, Dunmore's promotions partner at AM:PM, with whom he launched the label, departed in December 2001 to run Big Love.
A&R manager from 2004 to 2019: Andy Daniell.
Defected has various sublabels with separate A&Rs and musical identities and owns the catalogues of a number of heritage house labels from the 1990s.
Former MD Wez Saunders acquired the label and its subsidiaries via a management buyout in July 2022 and became the company's CEO in the process.
Head of A&R from 2023: Kid Fonque, with Dunmore as A&R consultant.
