This is one of the labels ran by the people from Radio Stad Den Haag, a notorious radiostation dating from the eighties. They had a big impact on the development of the local housescene by organizing raves in 1991 (for instance a serie of legendary Rave The City parties) and opening two record stores called Stad Den Haag Records. (later on taken over by Midtown)
The first 20 releases on Babyboom were very common, mainstream (happy) hardcore tracks. This suddenly changed with the 21st release when Babyboom got a complete restyle: a more professional and funkier look, plus a refreshing new type of hardcore, called "Newstyle"
Newstyle was significantly slower than most dutch hardcore was at the time. Often with oldskool and hiphop samples, extreme loud bass and very jumpy. Together with PCP, newstyle dominated the dancefloors in the late nineties. Babyboom had an important part in it.
