Legendary house label Strictly Rhythm has announced its 30th anniversary celebrations – having shaped the face of house music since its inception in New York.
Strictly Rhythm will release ‘The Definitive 30’ compilation album on 13 December – 30 classic tracks that define the label musically, artistically and culturally. Featured artists include Dennis Ferrer, Barbara Tucker, Josh Wink, and Kerri Chandler.
To accompany this, there will be a 3-part 2 x 12” vinyl series being released from January, plus ten digitally unreleased recordings – including tracks from Todd Terry and Kenny Dope – on 13 December and 10 January.
Strictly Rhythm’s extraordinary influence is shown by the many iconic artists who have released on the label, the internationally renowned selectors who regularly feature Strictly Rhythm tracks in their sets to a rapturous response, and the label’s presence in scores for the big and small screen.
