Ask any dj and youll get endless praise on how Strictly Rhythm defined the nineties NY sound. From deep soulful vocal house to jackin bombs, if it was on Strictly it was worth paying attention to. Today thanks to a natural link-up with Defected, the legendary label is back with some new releases, re-issues and well needed compilations. Here the Tiefschwarz brothers have picked up their fave cuts from the imprints impressive back catalogue (650 singles!), the ones that inspired them in the early days (90 to 93), from the more abstract trax (Phuture Rise from Your Grave, DV8 / Egotrip This Beat is Over, The Untouchables Trippin) to deepersoulful vocal classics (Hardrive Deep Inside, Aly-Us Follow Me, Underground Solution feat.
Jasmine Luv Dancing).
