Having produced multiple platinum and award-winning albums over its 25 years, Defected Records will celebrate taking its brand worldwide with parties in six cities across six continents. The “6 Degrees of Celebration” campaign is centered on community and connection, playing on the idea that everyone is at most six connections away from each other with a focus on the connection that music provides, and honoring the global community of music-lovers that have kept Defected going for 25 years.
