"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 the Morales' “Dead Zone” version of the song for its inclusion on his edition of the Azuli Records compilation, Choice - A Collection of classics, and cited it as an influence on the UK DJing community in the compilation's liner notes:Official remixes
