    Music Industry Job Opportunities

    Probably not exactly the music most of us (including myself) are in to, but in the year I've worked for Defected I've had a ridiculous amount of fun, not least because it's such a relaxed and friendly environment to work in.

    We have a few positions available and thought that some UK based [ms] users might be interested.

    Damn, if I lived in the UK I would definitely apply for one of those. Defected is a cool label. They do put out a ton of vocal soulful house which I can't really get into...but then they put out a lot of straight up great house music.

    i'm sure you'll be having tons of fun the the coming weeks. Cheers mate!
