For the first time since it began in 1991, the pioneering rave, drum & bass & jungle label, started by Danny Donnelly, Suburban Base has digitally re-mastered its entire back catalog and is making them available to download via iTunes.

Up until now, releases from the label, which shut its doors in 1997, only existed in vinyl format, but from February 23rd its back catalog has been re-mastered & can be bought from iTunes and extended to other digital music stores from March. This includes sought after releases from artist such as Son'z Of A Loop Da Loop Era, M&M, Rachel Wallace, Krome & Time, QBass, Jonny Jungle, DJ Hype, Cutty Ranks, Marvellous Cain, Remarc, Boogie Times Tribe & Mampi Swift.

In addition to the back catalog an album called Suburban Base Records - The History Of Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass: 1991-1997 will be released on March 3rd. The compilation presents a snapshot of the original underground rave scene that ultimately crossed over into the charts and is ready to be rediscovered by the original ravers and uncovered by a new generation of fans.

Over three mixes it will take you on a chronological journey starting with Hardcore presenting rave classics Rachel Wallace - Tell Me Why (M&M Full Vocal), Krome & Time - This Sound Is For The Underground and cheeky Smart E's - Sesame's Treet (Vocal Mix). Mix two then moves on to the
Jungle era with gems from Phuture Assassins - Roots N Future (Make Dem Know Mix); QBass –Deepa and Hype tracks Dawn of the Fever, The Chopper and Dream. The final mix treats us to some legendary Drum and Bass tracks including Run Tings - Ruff Revival, Marvellous Cain - Dub Plate Style, Cutty Ranks – Limb By Limb (DJ SS Remix), D'Cruze – Lonely and
Mampi Swift - On The Beat.

The album is available as both as a DJ mixed cd release and also digitally. It will use the original graffiti artwork from Suburban Base’s in-house designer Dave Nodz.

Krome & Time - The Slammer

Nookie-The Return of Nookie E.P [RIVET1239]

Nookie - Shining In Da Darkness

Just a little re-edit I have done of the track from the M Beat Wicked album. Always used to annoy me that the whole album is edited to death, and the best track on the album fades out while the piano starts. So I had a go at an edit. Had to take a bit of artistic licence to it and there is no kickdrum after the piano now. Still has the same layout as the original so should be just as easy to mix. I also took out four bars of the first synth breakdown so it is now mixable! I never understood why M-Beat did that in the first place?
