History
Founded in 1989 by Mark Finkelstein and Gladys Pizarro.
Throughout the 1990’s, Strictly not only helped define and grow the house music scene with a steady supply of legendary club records, the label also achieved notable crossover success with hits like with Reel 2 Real’s “I Like To Move It”, Ultra Naté’s “Free”, Wamdue Project’s “King Of My Castle” and Josh Wink’s “Higher State Of Consciousness”.
Relaunched in 2007 after a five year break following a short-lived venture with Warner Music, Strictly Rhythm went back to its underground roots and re-launched itself with offices in NYC and London.
