Shoop!
Profile:
Bouncy Techno and Tartan Techno label from Kirkcaldy, Scotland. Founded by DJ ZBD in 1993.
The Shoop! face logo was originally used on promotions and mix-tapes for Integration 1991 Turbo Rave at Kirkcaldy Ice Arena and other similar Shoop! events in Fife, a few years before the existence of the label.
Very loosely linked to Storm Records Scotland in that the both DJ ZBD and DJ Jackhammer (of Storm Records Scotland) worked at Sleeves Records shop in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Also has a distant cousin label in Poosh (Shoop played backwards) created by Evolution Records shortly after the demise of Shoop!

The first Scottish hardcore label, and very diverse at that, releasing everything from QFX's happy eurodance to Dance Overdose's darskide gabber. However it is best known for kickstarting the Scottish hardcore sound invented by Scott Brown, as shown in early hits like "Hardcore Disco", "Atomic", "Overdose Stomp" and "Technophobia". For a label which pioneered style that would go on to dominate most of Europe at one point, Shoop! is quite an underrated label, and its influence on the hardcore scene shouldn't be underestimated!
