BMG Chrysalis US Acquires Strictly Rhythm Masters Catalog And Signs Publishing Agreement
The catalog includes crossover hits such as Reel 2 Real's 'I Like To Move It,' (featured as the theme song in the Madagascar films) Ultra Naté's 'Free,' Wamdue Project's 'King Of My Castle' (which reached Number One on the UK Singles Chart), Wink's 'Higher State Of Consciousness,' and Planet Soul's 'Set U Free' (which reached Gold status in the US). Established in 1989 by businessman Mark Finkelstein and A&R Gladys Pizarro, Strictly Rhythm quickly rose to global prominence and played a pivotal role in the early definition of house music. The independent label gained a massive following with club DJs and fans and has remained a steady powerhouse for releasing top dance music by an impressive array of artists including Erick Morillo, Todd Terry, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Armand Van Helden, DJ Pierre, Roger Sanchez, Josh Wink, Ultra Naté and Barbara Tucker. Mark Finkelstein commented: "I couldn't be more pleased that Strictly Rhythm's catalog has found a new home with the passionate staff at BMG who will bring new opportunities to our dance classics, as well as creative collaborations for the future producers and artists within our collective families." BMG and Strictly Rhythm both have a history of innovation and leadership that will contribute to the further development and growth of the label. Strictly Rhythm's Michael Finkelstein said, "There are great opportunities to expand upon the foundation of Strictly Rhythm; BMG shares our vision and optimism as we move forward into this next stage of the company." Richard Blackstone, Executive Vice President, Creative & Business Development at BMG Northern American, said, "We are thrilled to represent this wonderful collection of music, and inspired by what the future partnership will bring. We truly understand the blood, sweat, and tears that went into growing an independent business like this. We agree with their simple recipe for success: trust talent, respect your clients and partners, and pay on time."
