The Blapps Posse... Legendary and largely unsung heroes, trailblazing their way through Acid house, Hardcore, Breakbeats, Hip Hop and more in the late 80's and early 90's..They were played constantly on all the pirate radio stations and at raves and went on to work prolifically under various other guises on Ninja Tune, Suburban Base and with DJ Rap, formed The Freestylers and continue to this day pushing music. This is a collection of their best work, cherry picked by Fat Hop and REMASTERED especially .. Limited edition Vinyl for all those who like to know where today's music has come from .
DJ Hype, Randall, Grooverider.. They were ALL playing these tracks back in the day !

"Glow To The Rush" is a '92 inspired Hardcore Rave revolutionary 'prodigized' tune, released by Oldskool Hardcore Rave act XENOPHOBIA featuring myself on lyrics/vox.

I've been in great contact with Xenophobia's main brain, Sid Truelove, over the last years pushing out 2016 "BRING ON THE RUSH" double LP, and so after couple of reviews, many airplays of "BRING ON THE RUSH" tracks, a radio interview with Sid and a special showcase totally dedicated to the act (LINK: http://bit.ly/29PHc4f), we've finally made it up doing a release together, which is a very big and honourable moment for me, since Xenophobia is born & raised in the real Rave era of 90s and keeping it Hardcore over the last 25+ yrs!

Received much love as well as support by many established members in the community such as Billy Daniel Bunter on Kool London, Luna-C, DJ Faydz, FFF (Triple Times F), History Of Hardcore (DJ Insane) just to name a few.

Never did quiet finish this. Love the original, one of my favourite Sedder's tunes. Very cheesey, lots of pads, strings, build up, and of course that wicked piano riff.

Dansu Discs were kind enough to let SOM run another track premiere for their annual 'Dansu for Mental Health'. Super gassed to be involved in such a special project.

Stepping up to the plate is Stones Taro, a super talented Tokyo based house & breaks producer who has been causing quite a stir the last few years. Taro has released some incredible music on labels such as Scuffed Recordings & NC4K. This man is definitely one to keep a look out for!

Words from Dansu - "For DSD022, we return with our annual ‘Dansu For Mental Health’. In what has been a crazy year for everyone, we want to spread the message now more than ever. Look after your mental health, look after those around you and if you’re not ok, speak up".

"All profits will be split between The Mental Health Foundation and Samaritans. Together, let’s raise awareness."

Listen...Love...Learn

Premiere: Stones Taro - Hold On

I am a UK-based electronic music producer pushing the boundaries of rave, oldskool, and breakbeat culture. Drawing deep inspiration from the golden era of 90s underground dance music, my sound is a high-octane blend of fat kicks, raw breaks, heavy basslines, and nostalgic euphoria. 

I've carved a niche as a modern revivalist of classic UK rave energy. My music captures the essence of warehouse culture—gritty, emotional, and fiercely rhythmic—while using modern production techniques to deliver a fresh yet familiar sound. Whether it’s a rush of jungle drums or acid-tinged synths, I create tracks that resonate with both veteran ravers and a new generation of bass lovers.

I've got a deep knowledge of rave history, which brings that authenticity to every beat. With an ever-growing catalog and a strong presence in the digital underground, I aim to contribute towards the ever evolving landscape of break-driven electronic music.

I was heavily influenced in my teens by '90s oldskool rave and have been a sucker for a good piano line ever since. That passion evolved into a love for techno, leading me to DJ at countless free parties and illegal raves across the South East of the UK, playing on some of the region’s most iconic underground sound systems.

After stepping away from DJing for a number of years, I returned to music with a fresh focus—producing my own tracks. Since then, my productions have gained international recognition, with support from the likes of Carl Cox, Ricardo Villalobos, Floating Points, and others across the global electronic scene.

If you're interested in oldskool rave, breakbeat or jungle inspired music, my work offers a modern take on these classic genres.
