BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

DJ and producer Grandmaster Flash is a Barbadian artist known for his influential role in DJ and Hip Hop history. He was born on January 1, 1958, in Barbados and later moved to New York City. Inspired by the block parties and DJs in his Bronx neighborhood, Flash developed his own unique style by combining DJ Kool Herc's "merry go round" technique with Grand Wizard Theodore's scratch technique. This innovative approach, known as 'cutting the break', revolutionized Hip Hop. Flash formed the group Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, which became the first Hip Hop act to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.

Following the breakup of The Furious Five, Flash recorded albums for Elektra label before reuniting with them for the album 'On The Strength' in 1988. Despite struggling with drug addiction, he made a comeback with DJ Mix albums, a radio show, and TV appearances. In 1998, he released an album titled 'Flash Is Back' under Marlboro label in Germany. In 2009, he released another studio album called 'The Bridge: Concept Of A Culture', which symbolizes the various bridges he has crossed throughout his career - bridging time, cultures, colors, genres like Hip Hop, funk pop rock jazz punk disco R&B.

Grandmaster Flash's contributions have had a lasting impact on generations of MCs,

Originally released in 1997—Salsoul Jam 2000 was Grandmaster Flash’s first album in nine years. A testament to his power as a DJ, the record was produced and segued together as one continuous mix in front of a live audience. This is the first re-release of the album in two decades and it’s first repressing on vinyl since the original ‘97 release.

Salsoul Jam 2000 is a perfect introduction to the deep bench of talent on the Salsoul Records roster— featuring hits like “Let No Man Put Asunder”, “Love Sensation” and “Ten Percent”—while continuing to connect dots on the family tree from disco to hip-hop.
