Il n'est pas de notoriété publique que sous le torrent de musique labélisée "French Touch" qui se déversera en France et sur le reste du monde dès 1990 et pour la décennie à venir, prospérait une communauté de mélomanes férus, entre autre, des sonorités deep-house américaines.

Straight-up Recordings fait partie de ces labels de l'époque qui ont émulé le temps de leur existence cette scène House française, promulguant les compositions d'artistes comme Playin' 4 The City, Dj Deep ou Franck Roger.

Avec ce focus, je souhaitais donner un léger coup de projecteur sur ce label, à mon sens peu connu mais pourtant emblématique du genre, dont les nombreuses sorties peuplent toujours les sacs et les étagères des House-heads aguerris.
