React Music Limited
React Music Limited was a London-based independent record label that was formed in 1990 by James Horrocks and Thomas Foley. James Horrocks was initially involved with successful dance music independent Rhythm King, and React pursued a similar approach—specifically electronic dance music, house music, acid house, techno and rave along with newer "dance" oriented subgenres which emerged throughout the '90s—including hard house, tech house, trance, hardbag, happy hardcore, drum and bass and chill out.
Artists
React enjoyed commercial success within the dance/club scene. 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 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. 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.
