The legendary and rejuvenated US house label Strictly Rhythm has always had a reputation for delivering quality mixes and the freshest upfront tracks. Now in its 20th year the label has earmarked the producers, DJs and international events that can continue to deliver its universal sound into the next decade. The biggest event in the House calendar is the Miami Winter Music Conference that occurs every March. This undoubtedly remains the epicentre of the House scene, continuing to be the place where the world gets a glimpse of new emerging artists and tracks that will become the staple food of every reputable DJ internationally. This year it is the turn of house legend Karizma and new blood Eddie Thoneick to select the tracks and skilfully join the beats that will ultimately reflect the sound of the conference. Karizma is the adept Baltimore bred US house DJ that has set the standard for many over the past decade. He remains one of the most in demand DJs on the house circuit and was formerly part of the renowned Basement Boys with DJ Spen and Teddy Douglas. Now a successful producer in his own right and a leader in the US house scene, he’s an ideal choice to put together Strictly's Miami mix. This fluid mix features many of his own productions including; ‘Kaytro’ inspired by his own alter ego Kaytronik, as well as his track with Monique Bingham ‘Good Morning’ and Groove A ‘K’ Ordingly (Kaytronik Groove Da Dub). Here his signature style is evident and creative, making full use of the technology available to him, skillfully cutting from track to track. His mix moves from vocal to track, demonstrating his versatility. CD2 introduces Eddie Thoneick who delivers a very different second mix. Again like Karizma he is dexterous in his production and mixing technique. Eddie takes us on a tougher, peak time trip. Here he features many of his own productions including Eddie Thoneick featuring Terri B! - Release (Bingo Players Remix), Funk! (Original Mix) and Shermanology - In My Head (R3hab & Addy Van Der Zwan Remix). Eddie’s piece de resistance is his mash up of Saeed Younan - Yeah Ha (Original Mix) layered with Copyright featuring Tasita D’Mour We Can Rise (Chantapella).
