the band 'Shut up & Dance with a track called 'The Green Man' 1992.

Philip Anthony Johnson (PJ) & Carlton Nevile Hyman (smiley) Smiley, PJ, DJ Daddy & DJ Hype had built a sound system called Heatwave. They broke into many buildings to start their own illegal raves back in 1986. Smiley & PJ were rappers on the sound system but were also trying to get a record deal. No one would sign them up, and so they started their own label, Shut Up And Dance Records. The name came from the title of one of the songs on their demo tape.

Their first release was a track titled "5,6,7,8", which was sold straight out of the boot of PJs Ford Escort, with follow-ups such as "£10.00 To Get In", "£20.00 To Get In", "Lamborghini", & "Derek Went Mad" (Dance Before The Police Come album), which were all massive underground anthems. The follow up album Death Is Not The End contained such monsters as "Raving Im Raving" & "The Green Man". Success brought expansion, and expansion brought artists such as Ragga Twins, The (Reggae Owes Me Money-Album), Nicolette (Now Is Early-Album), Peter Bouncer And Ade to name a few. All the above artist were produced by Shut Up & Dance and soon other artists were signed to the label who produced their own music: Codine, MC Duke, Cedrick Winkelburger etc. 

Smiley & PJ also started other labels, such as Red Light (2) (Drum & Bass), Ruff Quality Recordings (Experimental Breaks) & the more recent New Deal Recordings, which is a 2 Step/Garage breakbeat outlet responsible for such classics as True Vip & Holdtight .

EXTERMINATE!!!!!! - Everybody behind the sofa quick!!! The daleks used to scare the **** out of me when I was little!!! This tune is probably a bit scary too cos I've only used headphones and not had a chance to check the levels properly, must get some neighbours that enjoy the perfect blend!!!

DJ Seduction - DJ's Unite Vol 1

It's been a quarter of a century since the masked-marauders of rave Altern 8 unleashed a record so forceful, so powerful, so potent that it somehow lives up to it's absurdly brilliant title—Full-On Mask Hysteria. 

To celebrate that all important 25th birthday, they've decided to remaster and repress the album, and they've brought in a few of their ravier mates along for the ride. Coming backed with remixes from the likes of KiNK, Shadow Dancer, and Luke Vibert, this one's the perfect present for the Vicks-snffing hardcore-head in your life.

We're bringing him, and you obviously, an exclusive listen to a typically deranged mix courtesy of breakbeat badboys 2 Bad Mice, who turn "Everybody" into a rushy and rushing slab of euphoric perfection. We're certain that this one'll have you digging out that old Global Hypercolour t-shirt.
