DJ T
'25 Years Of Strictly Rhythm' (Strictly Rhythm)
8/10
Strictly Rhythm is celebrating a quarter of a century. It's a heritage house label responsible for countless house anthems that have dominated the underground, had chart success with tracks like Real II Real's 'I Like To Move It' and Josh Wink's 'Higher State...', and was instrumental in the careers of Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, Kenny Dope, DJ Pierre, DJ Sneak, Sandy Rivera, Aly-Us and more.
Get Physical founder DJ T has lovingly re-crafted and edited each of the tracks on this quadruple CD and vinyl release. "These old tracks don't really have a mix-friendly intro and outro; they often just fade out or stop abruptly," says T. "I wanted to make these classics easier to use in contemporary sets; to be able to improve a track, so that it becomes interesting and playable for DJs nowadays."
As you'd expect, he's included many of the label's biggies – but also his personal favourites and forgotten gems. This is an important milestone for house music as arguably one of its most influential labels reaches its 25th birthday
