Strictly Rhythm Celebrates 30 Years Shaping House Music
Strictly Rhythm Celebrates 30 Years Shaping House Music Artist : Various Artists - Strictly Rhythm Records Title: The Definitive 30 Label: Strictly Rhythm Records Release date: 13 December 2019 Cat #: SR12931 Format: Digital Strictly Rhythm 30th Anniversary celebrations include ‘The Definitive 30’ Album, 3-part ‘2 x 12” vinyl’ series, & ten currently unavailable digitally recordings “To remove Strictly Rhythm from the history of house would be a bit like the Louvre losing half of its art collection in a fire.” (Mixmag) Legendary label Strictly Rhythm celebrates its landmark 30th anniversary - having shaped the face of house music since its inception in New York in 1989. To commemorate its proud heritage, Strictly Rhythm will release ‘The Definitive 30’ on 13 December - 30 classic tracks that define the label musically, artistically and culturally. 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. ‘The Definitive 30’ is a multi-faceted collection celebrating Strictly Rhythm’s legacy. Featuring early New York deep house: Logic’s ‘The Warning’, After Hours’ ‘Waterfalls’, and Kerri Chandler’s ‘Stompin’ Grounds’; the disco house sounds built on New York’s rich club heritage: Underground Solution’s ‘Luv Dancin’, The Untouchables’ ‘Lil Louie’s Anthem’; classic vocal house from Barbara Tucker, Aly-Us, and Black Magic; harder- edged rave classics in the shape of Todd Terry’s ‘Can You Feel It’ and Armand Van Helden’s ‘Witch Doktor’; and crossover hits from Reel II Real, Ultra Naté, Planet Soul, and Wamdue Project.

SOUL AVENGERZ DJ's & Producers
SOUL AVENGERZ DJ’s & Producers BIOGRAPHY_E 08/2007 Integral members of the funky house scene for well over a decade, Soul Avengerz state their mission as simply "to create feel good funky house for the music connoisseur." DJ/producers Paul Gardner and Wayne O'Connell exude true passion about the scene, testament to their many nights of gigs and hours spent in the studio. "We are, and have been for years and years, true house lovers of a funky style," says Paul. "We play it, we make it, we love it! Music is about having fun and that's what we do, and we believe it shows in our productions." The boys' party friendly productions have certainly caught the eye of label Positiva, who signed them up in early 2006. But Soul Avengerz success goes way back. "Having our first record signed by Full Intention and hearing Danny Rampling play it on Radio 1 was mind blowing and something I will remember for the rest of my life," says Wayne. "I could never have dreamed it would get even better, but the Positiva deal is the biggest and best thing that has happened to us. I'm immensely excited about the future with them and still can't believe I'm living my dream!" It's not bad going for someone who became a DJ by default - at a house party one night after the DJ didn't turn up, Wayne got the nod to fetch some records and became hooked… Paul, meanwhile, became fascinated by the whole set up through an ex girlfriend's relative (who used to DJ at the legendary soul weekenders with Steve Walsh), and the two of them began to forge separate but similar paths through the early days of their careers.

Arthur Russell and the Queering of Gay Disco
144 Tim Lawrence “I Want to See All My Friends At Once’’: Arthur Russell and the Queering of Gay Disco Tim Lawrence University of East London Disco, it is commonly understood, drummed its drums and twirled its twirls across an explicit gay-straight divide. In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability. With Sylvester and John Travolta marking out the polar opposites of disco’s terrain, it was supposed to be easy to spot the difference. The sequined black gay falsetto, who delivered soul and gospel-charged disco, embodied the movement’s gay roots, while the white straight hustling star of Saturday Night Fever, who was happiest dancing to the shrill pop of the Bee Gees, represented its commercialization and suburbanization. In this article, how- ever, I want to refract this popular analysis through a queer lens in order to explore not just the mixed composition of early dance crowds, which I take to be historically given (Lawrence 2004a: 22, 31, 104), but, more impor- tantly, the way in which both the dance floor experience and disco’s musical aesthetics could be said to be queer (rather than gay). I will also examine how disco producers, responding to the mainstreaming of disco culture from the mid-1970s onwards, took the genre in fresh and unsettling directions.
