| 20 Years of Strictly Rhythm |
|
Entire books could be written about the history of Strictly Rhythm - from its humble beginnings to being the defining dance music label of its time, from its major label-induced collapse to its rise from ashes in 2006. Now back in the hands of its legendary founder, Mark Finkelstein, Strictly Rhythm is back on track to regain its former glory - with brand new hits and long-due re-issues of its classic catalogue. Along with the label's two anniversary compilations - one classics, one remixes - we have compiled a few of Strictly Rhythms finest moments. Eternal house anthems, cheeky chart toppers - it's all there, and we urge you to especially check out the dubs and b-sides: there are many timeless gems to be discovered. Enjoy! |

Paul Kominek releases his first album as Pawel on Hamburg's revered Dial imprint: Deep, melodic tech-house with a classical feel to it. Kominek's indietronica roots (as Turner) can still be discerned in tracks like the housey 'Dawn', or the reflective 'Mate'. Lovely album.
