If it was the same Hardcore label I'm thinking of, it was a sublabel of Streetsounds, who spent most of the 80s going bankrupt then finding new investors, only to find by the time they had popularised electro, house, hip hop, acid, techno etc. that they were without investors and couldn't cash in... Hardcore releases that immediately spring to mind were by Overlord X, The Break Boys, JVC Force etc. Though they may not have had the business acumen, they had the enthusiasm to make dance music accessible to the average person in the street, and I think that without their efforts a lot of people on this list would probably be listening to rock music these days. Also without Streetsounds you'd probably be scrabbling around looking for obscure releases that exist in runs of a few hundred today... oh. Streetsounds IDM anybody? Does anybody know what became of Morgan Khan? BABY DIDDY ___________________________________________ "Toughest in the infants"
