2XCD featuring Strictly Rhythm classics and Dirty South originals and remixes plus some extra special edits from Dirty South!

Released June 21 2011 on Strictly Rhythm

Strictly Rhythm is pleased to announce that superstar Producer/Remixer/DJ Dirty South has been chosen to compile and mix the latest installment of its acclaimed compilation series. Following efforts by Masters At Work, Todd Terry, Tiefschwarz, Erick Morillo and Bob Sinclar, Strictly Dirty South marries classics from the Strictly Rhythm catalog with the most up front Dirty South favorites currently on the scene.

It’s been an amazing twelve months for Dirty South. While already well established on the global scene Dirty South took it up a notch delivering smash original productions, remixes and toured the world non-stop. In 2010, he delivered the anthemic track “Phazing” and branded his beloved “Star Phazing Nights” club concept; his own Phazing Records released David Tort, Thomas Gold & David Gausa’s hit “Areena;” & the first release from rising star Jeremy Olander “Airsteala”. Dirty South was also nominated for a Grammy for his co-remix (with Axwell) of Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition.” Dirty South stormed into 2011 with a fresh rinse of Diddy Dirty Money featuring Skylar Grey’s Billboard smash single “Coming Home,” was featured at Swedish House Mafia’s Masquerade Motel and sold out his “Starphazing” event at Mansion during Miami Music Week. Plus his tri-monthly residency at Las Vegas superclub ‘Marquee’.

CD One is a look back at some of the bigger moments on Strictly Rhythm and in clubland over the years. The mix builds nicely with cuts from Aly-us, KOT, Lil Mo Ying Yang, Shakedown, Bob Sinclar and includes exclusive re-edits of Ultra Nate “Free” fused with Live Element “Be Free” and Falko Richtberg & Sebastian Wojowski’s “Madelaine” is married with Julie McKnight’s “Home.” CD Two is full of current club bangers from the likes of David Tort, D.Ramirez, Thomas Gold, Green Velvet, Danny Freakazoid & Matt Casseli and Tristan Garner as well as plenty of remixes and productions from Dirty South (including his Diddy-Dirty Money “Coming Home” remix.)

Dirty South comments, “Putting together my Strictly Rhythm compilation was fun and a great opportunity to showcase two different sides of my take on house music and the way I DJ at one of my shows. The First Disc is a reflection of my ‘old school’ house music and it features some of the tracks Ii grew up with, while the Second Disc is basically the sound that I currently play at my shows and these are the biggest tracks of today. Both discs were a pleasure to construct and mix and I’m very happy to show people a taste of two different worlds of house music that are separated by 10-15 years. Yes, the sound and the energy has definitely changed, but its all house music at the end of the day!!!”

Strictly Rhythm head of A & R, Seamus Haji adds “Following on from Erick Morillo and Bob Sinclar in the series I wanted Dirty South to mix the comp as I felt he would understand the heritage of Strictly Rhythm which is known for great vocal tracks, club anthems and harder edged tracks. It was this variety that I wanted to be encapsulated in the mix. He produces and plays vocal tracks as well big room stompers so I thought it would be interesting to see how he would marry his style with ours. I think he’s done a fantastic job and you can hear the amount of effort he’s put into the mix in the way that he’s programmed & mixed it and also created lots of exclusive Re-edits for us!”

Strictly Rhythm Records is house music. Since 1989 the legendary New York label not only put out records by almost every name in the game, but it also defined house music throughout the 1990s. In 1994 Strictly notched up its first crossover hit with Real 2 Real’s ‘I Like To Move It’, a feat it was to repeat throughout the rest of the decade with Wink’s ‘Higher State of Consciousness’, Ultra Naté’s ‘Free’ and Wamdue Project’s ‘King of My Castle’. In between the hits the label provided a steady output of club tracks by a huge array of respected artists from Barbara Tucker and Masters At Work to Erick Morillo, Josh Wink, Armand Van Helden, Danny Tenaglia, David Morales and DJ Pierre. Almost every house producer of repute who was active in the 1990s is represented in the catalogue.

Funk D'Void is a DJ and producer who has been at the forefront of the global electronic music scene since the mid-90s. He started Djing at around the tender age of 15, running two under-18 clubs himself – a perfect start to his career. Knowing his vocation to music from an early age after being brought up by his professional pianist mother, Lars never had any doubt as to where his future would lie.
House music changed his life, the early Chicago sound specifically, and hearing the certain sounds during his childhood stirred something inside him; the 808 drum machine used on Marvin Gaye's “Sexual Healing” secured his fascination with these electronic sounds – the turning point over to the Detroit techno sound was almost a spiritual moment as it forged his unique sound that would follow over the coming years – visceral, soulful and without compromise.

Definitely not for the faint-hearted, ‘Drift’ has all the hall marks of a huge festival anthem with a prowling lead line reminiscent of Pryda. The break down is simply epic, as the trance inspired plucks open up for that true hands in the air moment.

If the perfect mix of progressive house and trance is your thing, then ‘Drift’ will be firmly wedged in your wallet for a long time to come.

Canadian Marc Mysterio has recently signed an international Deal with Sony Music. His first release, entitled 'All Wrong' features vocals from fellow Canadians 6x Platinum Singer & MTV Europe Award Winner Karl Wolf & Jamie Sparks, has taken Scandinavia by storm this spring with the European Release on deck for the summer and a solid rmx package to complement the radio friendly tune headlined by Chicago Legend Ron Carroll.
"The last few years have been a fun but crazy ride!" notes Mysterio, whom has previously featured on his own original songs the likes of Chris Willis ('Roll Wit It'), Gary Pine ('Sunshine'), Samantha Fox ('Tomorrow), Sandy Vee/Laura V ('Let Loose') and is rumored to be working with Roger Sanchez on a track for his new album featuring Max C according to Roger's Wikipedia. "All Wrong was a really fun song to make whereas Karl Wolf and I are 2 of the most successful artists from Montréal internationally, and when Sony in Europe came to us, it was really exciting as I started producing in 2006 when radios would not even look at playing house music!"


"After signing the deal,  I mentioned the collab to my friend Ron Carroll -- whom I have tremendous respect for -- and he wanted to be part of the project and added a massive rmx which is dubbier, but really adds a more credible edge to the package with its Chicago Vibe and Heavy Kicks!"
Houseplanet.dj has been able to obtain a copy of the Ron Carroll Rmx of Marc Mysterio's 'All Wrong' to share for free with our readers for a limited time:

Monster track from Brooklyn Fire label that was played in Tiesto's most recent Club Life Radio Show #217 which aired on May 29th, 2011. RipTidE "What You Want" is the first track off the Brooklyn Fire 002 Fire House compilation, and fellow Dutchman Tiesto deemed it worthy to play in his coveted and well-respected Club Life show. As his DJ sets become less trancey and more electro-based, Tiesto apparently likes what Brooklyn Fire has to offer! As a show of appreciation to the blogs who support the label, this track is now up for free download on the Brooklyn Fire Soundcloud page.
