V.A. '30 Years Of Strictly Rhythm : Part Two'

Iconic, Defected-owned NYC house label Strictly Rhythm continues to reissue its 30th birthday retrospectives - imprint 'best ofs' that first appeared back in 2020 and draw from three decades of US house excellence. Volume two has plenty of tried-and-tested heat - such anthems as Wamdue Project's 'King of My Castle', Barbara Tucker's 'Beautiful People' and DJ Sneak's hard-wired loop jam 'Keep On Groovin (Fat Bottom Mix)' - as well as lesser-celebrated gems from the catalogue. These include a superb DJ T re-edit of Essence's Art of Noise cover 'Moments in House', the deep and heavy after-hours headiness of Mole People's 'Break Night', and the gentle soulful house dreaminess of South Street Player's '(Who) Keeps Changing Your Mind (The Night Mix)'.
