Strut is a British independent label founded by Quinton Scott. From 1999 to 2003, Strut was at the forefront of unearthing forgotten dance music gems, covering a wide range of genres from hard funk and underground disco to Nigerian Afrobeat and old skool hip hop. Their releases not only featured killer dancefloor tracks but also provided a comprehensive context for the music, delving into the stories behind the tunes, the clubs, and the scene of that time. With meticulous attention to detail, Strut's albums were mastered from original tapes whenever possible and included extensive sleeve notes written by respected journalists, rare photographs, and memorabilia.

In January 2008, Strut was reactivated and became part of the *K7 label group. Since then, their releases have been primarily based in Europe unless there is an exclusive retailer in another territory.

Strut return to seminal Chicago house label Dance Mania for 'Dance Mania: Ghetto Madness'. This new installment places the spotlight on the raw, stripped back, hyper BPMs of ghetto house and the rise of the movement's fresh generation of stars during the mid-'90s including DJ Deeon, DJ Funk, Jammin' Gerald and DJ Milton. The album traces the evolution of Chicago's sound during the era as mixtapes circulated through local shops and DJs developed their own underground following, playing local parties in the projects. As DJ Deeon remembers, "it bridged the gap. It made it OK for guys in the ghetto to like house again and it brought the women onto the dancefloor too." It comes fully illustrated by James Wilson featuring caricatures of the featured artists and hand-drawn artwork.CD - 15 track Unmixed CD with a fold-out poster featuring an exclusive James Wilson ghetto illustration.LP - 13 Track Double LP Set.
