There were so many good events, but the 3rd one that we loved the most was the Defected Virtual Festival!
They hosted the inaugural Defected Virtual Festival on March 20th! It was inspired by the success of live streams from Defected Croatia, Defected London FSTVL, and other Defected shows worldwide. They have programmed 12 hours of house music to be streamed from clubbing institution Ministry of Sound in London, with DJs Simon Dunmore, Monki, Sam Divine, Low Steppa, The Shapeshifters, Melvo Baptiste, Joey Negro, Dan Shake, Darius Syrossian, and more, playing live sets and the incredible Glitterbox crew of dancers providing the dancefloor energy!

Our 2nd favorite digital event of 2020 is the event Safe Together organized by the association Aides, to fight against the HIV.
The Clubbing TV crew had the chance to film the incredible event and to broadcast it on the TV channel and social medias. This charity festival took place in Paris, in the Magasins Generaux, and welcomed incredible artists such as Klingande, Adixia, or Lumberjack for example.
