Various - Sub Base For Your Face LP

Perhaps one of the most influential rave/drum and bass labels in the UK hardcore scene from its inception in 1991. This album is a must for those that were into the early rave sound, the samples, the scratching, the breaks, pianos and vocals. I was lucky enough to buy my records from boogie times in Romford and witnessed the scratching of Danny Breaks first hand, so if you do track down a copy of this album, only purchase it with the free 12” that was included on the early issues. This is basically Danny mixing and scratching his way through Fires Burning, Far Out, Future Sound, Why ect. The unmixed tunes on the album are also the best of the labels early output including the Krome & Time mix of Seasame’s Treet which is totally un-cheesy and many other tunes that now change hands for a fair few quid.

For the true trainspotter there is also a load of info and pictures about the artists and their tunes. A great album from a great label 5/5.

This compilation is absolutely incredible. It is packed with timeless classics and although at the time of the release was considered to be "Hardcore", not all of the tracks really fit into that category as much now. I always thought that if Rachel Wallace's - Tell Me Why had had been released at different time, it could have been at least a top ten radio track. Timing is everything!

Superb compilation of breakbeat/jungle tracks from an excellent label. Cost me a fair few quid but worth every penny.... Tracks 1,5,8 and 12 stand out with track 12 (Krome & Time's 'manic stampede') being the pick of the bunch - a hard, jumping track with a fantastic beat.....play it LOUD.
