Ghosts of Venice Without You Strictly Rhythm

The remixes have arrived adding strength to an already powerful package, keeping the infectious vocal intact while adding two brand spankin’ reinterpretations. James Talk & Ridney launch this jam into outer-orbit with their classic main room, prime-time approach including an epic breakdown and trance-like stabs creating a driving, funky monster. The Siege Vocal mix takes a very groovy approach, and will satisfy those who aren’t easily pleased with anthem treatments. Read more

Ghosts Of Venice – Without You [Strictly Rhythm]

Ghosts of Venice Without You Strictly Rhythm

‘I make music to make girls dance’ says Lee Dunn, aka Ghosts of Venice, and we couldn’t sum up his post-Cassius/Stardust sound any better than that. Fired along by a filtered, infectious keyboard hook and refined by Errol Reid’s vocal performance, ‘Without You’ is all about funky basslines, good grooves and simple fun on the dancefloor.

Strictly Rhythm – Independence

Strictly Rhythm

Strictly Rhythm, the label that defined house music in the 1990s and became an inspiration for many of today’s contemporary dance artists, is once again to become a stand-alone independent label. The label, which enjoyed crossover success with Reel 2 Real, Wamdue Project and Ultra Naté and nurtured the careers of Erick Morillo, Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden and Masters At Work, returned in 2007 after a five year hiatus following a brief liaison with Warner Music to link up with leading UK independent dance label Defected Records.

Three years later and now fully re-established, Strictly Rhythm will open a new London office in September. Founder Mark Finkelstein says ‘“I would like to thank Simon Dunmore and the Defected team for all that they have done in helping to re-launch Strictly Rhythm. I look forward to a continued close relationship between Strictly Rhythm and Defected in the future.”

Simon Dunmore, Defected Records CEO comments “During the 20 years I have known Mark Finkelstein he has become a mentor and a close friend. It has been a pleasure to work with him directly and help re-establish Strictly Rhythm in today’s market. I look forward to continuing our special relationship.”

Strictly Rhythm and Defected Records will continue to work together on future projects. A new substantially upgraded website is to launch in July 2010. Strictly.com will provide all the latest news, upfront information on new releases, exclusive interviews, extended features and more.
