ignificance

"I'm the One You Need" is often credited with introducing DJ David Morales' then-darker sound to the worldwide remixing community. Indeed, British DJ, John Digweed, re-edited [ [http://www.discogs.com/release/424531 Dance 2 Trance / Jody Watley - Choice - A Collection Of Classics - Exclusive John Digweed Edits ] ] the Morales' Def Dub version of the song for its inclusion on his [Digweed] edition of the Azuli Records compilation, "Choice - A Collection of classics" [ [http://www.discogs.com/release/424100 Various - Azuli Presents John Digweed - Choice - A Collection Of Classics ] ] , and sites it as an influence on the UK DJ-ing community in the compilation's liner notes:
