RHYTHM KING
RECORDS
Independent label: Rhythm King
Records Ltd was an independent record label founded in the mid-1980s by Martin
Heath, Adele Nozedar, DJ Jay Strongman and James Horrocks. Starting out as an
offshoot of Daniel Miller's critically acclaimed Mute Records Rhythm King's
initial focus was dance music - specifically house music, acid house, acid jazz.
James Horrocks left the label at the end of 1987 and subsequently went on to
form React Music Limited in 1990 which also had a focus upon dance music. This
left Martin Heath in sole charge of the label; however by the beginning of 1988
Rhythm King was to enjoy a period of short term success which went hand in hand
with the dominance dance music had in the UK singles chart from the late 1980s
to the beginning of the 2000s. The commercial success of Rhythm King enabled it
to link a distribution deal with Sony Records subsidiary Epic Records. Rhythm
King was no longer associated with Mute Records from 1991. Rhythm King's
distribution deal with Sony Records expired around 1995/96 so a new deal with
BMG's Arista Records was signed in 1996. Rhythm King was subsequently closed
down and merged into the main Arista label. Distributed By Mute
Records Ltd, Sony and BMG Records.
