Underground House

For over a decade, Defected In The House Miami mix albums have brought together the best new underground house music, championing upcoming talent and highlighting material from established artists. Defected In The House Miami 2017 continues the tradition of forecasting the records that will soundtrack the Miami Winter Music Conference, and remain fixtures for tastemaker DJs throughout the summer.

"VA - Azuli Presents Ibiza 11: Future Sound Of The Dance Underground" (2011) is a compilation album that captures the essence of Ibiza's underground dance scene, featuring a mix of deep house, tech house, and electronic dance music (EDM). Released by Azuli Records, a label known for its focus on quality house and dance music, this album is part of a series that highlights the sounds of Ibiza, the iconic island known for its vibrant club culture and world-class DJs.

The eighth release in the Sources series is the sister label to DJ International and an equally good source of authentic House music from one of the pioneer labels, Underground Records. In fact Underground records can be credited with scoring House music’s first No.1 hit with Steve ‘Silk’ Hurleys infectious “Jack Your Body” which hit the No.1 slot in the U.K. at the beginning of 1987 and was probably responsible for spreading the growth of House music throughout Europe. Despite having scored such a huge hit with their first release, Underground stayed true to its name and released scores of incredible records which have since become very collectible and have spawned some of the biggest names in House music history - Liz Torres featuring Kenny Jammin’ Jason, MD111, Tyree, E.S.P., Fingers Inc, Fast Eddie Smith, Sterling Void, K-Alexi to name a few. Recent years have seen a boom in the amount of interest in the label and now many of the original 12” releases have leapt in value and are commanding huge prices. Records like Cool House’s “Rock This Party Right”, MD111’s “Face The Nation”, Tyree’s “Acid Over” and E.S.P.’s “It’s U” among others, continue to rocket in price. All are included in this exceptional package! As with all Sources releases, ‘Sources: The DJ International Records Anthology’ has been lovingly compiled using the best mixes as chosen by Bill Brewster and lovingly re-mastered to make these slices of 1980s dance music history sound the best they’ve ever sounded. If you’re into original authentic House Music direct from one of the richest sources, then look no further. “Sources: The Underground Records Anthology” is a must for any serious House music collection.

Three CD set. Founded in 1989 by Mark Finkelstein and Gladys Pizarro, New York house music label Strictly Rhythm quickly established itself as one of dance music's most successful and influential record labels of all time, and one which defined house music right throughout the '90s. Home to such significant artists as Roger Sanchez, Erick Morillo, Todd Terry, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Armand Van Helden, Josh Wink, Ultra Nate and DJ Pierre, Strictly Rhythm was without doubt the leading US house music label of the decade. Taking you on a journey through arguably the label's finest hour - from shortly after it's inception up to the late '90s - for this compilation, we have deliberately stayed away from it's biggest hits, though no less an important part of the Strictly Rhythm story, in favor of the biggest club classics and overlooked gems.
