On Tue, 3 May 1994, Lee An and Simon were discussing Outer Rhythm and
their relation to R&S.
Outer Rhythm started as a sub-label of Rhythm King as did Warp when they
started up. Rhythm King pressed the first RSW releases and was a dance
sub-label of Mute. Mute dumped Rhythm King and Warp split as did Outer
Rhythm (I believe). Outer Rhythm merely licensed some R&S hits (Energy
Flash, Mentasm, Stella...) one release has some UK only mixes. It was
called just Order To Dance (not to be confused with the R&S comp: In
Order To Dance). Quite a good release with some great mixes by Joey
Beltram of older R&S tunes (my favorite is a remix of Quest). After
Outer Rhythm died they sprang up again as Inner Rhythm but are now
defunct (I believe). Mute Corporation now has NovaMute, of course, and
has no relation to the ever growing Warp (who BTW is in a feud with
Renaat the R of R&S).
Hows that for scene talk? I'd love to find more older Outer Rhythm and
Rhythm King releases. I bought what I could find through Pinnacle but
there simply isn't much out there. I have a great Nation 12 release,
some Man Machine, Baby Ford, but am looking for more Leftfield. I have
both DJUM DJUM.
please e-mail your help.
