Artists

As dance music dominated the UK Singles Chart throughout the 1990s React also enjoyed both underground and commercial success within the dance/club scene. In common with most 'dance' orientated labels the artists at React varied from short-term 'one hit wonders' to longer-term acts which released numerous singles/albums and included:

  • The Source featuring Candi Staton - Generally considered one of React's best selling singles You Got The Love was originally a bootleg combining Frankie Knuckles/Jamie Principle's classic house track Your Love with an obscure recording from disco legend Candi Staton. The single was a major success and reached #3 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1991 and #4 when it was re-released in March 1997. The Source also reached #38 in August 1997 with the single Clouds and had a number of other single releases with React, however these didn't quite achieve the same success as You Got The Love. Candi Staton's music career was revitalised with You Got The Love and React also enjoyed UK Top 40 success with her singles Love On Love which reached #27 in April 1999 and her disco classic Young Hearts Run Free which was re-issued and reached #28 in August 1999.
  • The Age of Love - The single 'Age Of Love' was originally released by React in 1992. It didn't make the UK Top 40 but is considered one of the first 'trance' records and had a slow burning effect in the dance/club scene. When re-released in July 1997 and September 1998 it reached #17 and #38 respectively in the UK Singles Chart and is one of React's most successful singles.

Famous quotes containing the word artists:

    “As artists they’re rot, but as providers they’re oil wells; they gush. Norris said she never wrote a story unless it was fun to do. I understand Ferber whistles at her typewriter. And there was that poor sucker Flaubert rolling around on his floor for three days looking for the right word.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    “You are always looking for already-felt emotions, just as you like to get an old pair of trousers back from the cleaners, which seem new when you don’t look too closely. Artists are cleaners, don’t let yourself be taken in by them. True modern works of art are made not by artists but quite simply by men.”
    —Francis Picabia (1878–1953)

    “The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
