Suburban Base Records: The History Of Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass: 1991-1997 [3 CD Mixed Album And Unmixed Digital Downloads] + Digital Back Catalogue Reissued!!!



From it's fledgling roots as an outlet for producing fresh tunes for the burgeoning rave scene back in 1991 through to it's rise to championing jungle and drum & bass up to 1997. Dan Donelly's flagship Suburban Base label has been rightly championed as being one of the founding labels of the UK rave scene. With an artist roster containing legends such as Danny Breaks, Phuture Assassins, DJ Hype, Krome & Time, Austin Reynolds, Jay D'Cruze, Swift, Remarc, Marvellous Cain, DJ Rap & Aston, Bizzy B & Pugwash, DJ Dextrous & Rude Boy Keith, Cool Hand Flex, Rachel Wallace, DJ Zinc, Johnny Jungle (aka Pascal), Asend & Ultravibe, Run Tings and many more that I've missed. Not forgetting Dan's own QBass productions.
As well as being on the forefront of releasing hardcore/jungle/drum & bass anthems on vinyl for DJ's and collectors alike, Suburban Base were also responsible for compiling some of the most upfront, underground compilations spanning from the birth of hardcore to the advent of drum & bass. The 'Base For Your Face LP', 'Drum & Bass Selection Vol's 1-5', 'Pure Rollers', 'Classic Sub Base' and two 'DJ Box' comps are all essential purchases as well as D'Cruze and Marvellous Cain's artist albums.
17 years after the closure of the Sub Base label in 1997 and venturing into other fields of music promotion and movie production over in America, Dan has decided to resurrect the brand which led him onto his pathway of success. First off is the release of "Suburban Base Records: The History Of Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass: 1991-1997". A triple, mixed CD collection of Suburban Base's greatest hits and some lesser known gems to portray an excellent history of the label, from it's hardcore roots right up to it's dominance withing the jungle/drum & bass scene.
