Formation Records

One of the greatest labels in 90s rave music history...a snapshot of what was going on in music from 1991 all the way up the early 00s.

.. so about Jonno'n'Grooves yea: i was in school with Jonno yea we was actual early boyhood friendz yea. but i met Grooves in me supermarket; and he was completely not giving me any "right affection nor understanding" manz is ignorant tho.. ooh, and Jonno; come round my place anytime for a cuppa yea: suppose you know where my house lives.. keep it up yo!

along with 3rd party kemet this has to be one of my fave labels really takes me back listenig to some of the old formation, holds a very special place in my heart

I love every single release on this label up to FORM 18, and some of the later ones (Future Followers, Rolling With The Punches). But somehow the stuff that was released after '92 doesn't seem to excite me a lot.. I think the newer stuff simply lacks the creativity? Might it be that EQ at some point quitted the label, and production was influenced by that? He doesn't seem to have anything to do with the newer releases at all..

Ruff Justice ( http://www.discogs.com/label/52734-Ruff-Justice-Records) was another sublabel (which they used to for their Hip Hop output). DJ SS corroborated this in an interview feature with the label in the September 1993 issue of Eternity Magazine.
