Suburban Base

Suburban Base Records is one of the biggest British breakbeat hardcore, rave and jungle/drum and bass record labels. It is based in Romford, Havering, UK. It was established by Dan Donnelly and operated in the UK from 1989 to 1997 and in the United States from 1994 to 1997.

Danny Donnelly opened a record store in his native Romford, Essex. Named Boogie Times, the store specialised in dance music as well as producing its own self-made white label records. Donnelly's first release was a track called Hypersonic which he made with André Jacobs, the owner of Essex-based D-Zone Records. These Boogie Times white labels were well received by customers as well as DJs from the nearby capital London which enhanced the store's reputation. In the wake of this success, Donnelly was able to fund a nascent label entitled Suburban Base.

The fledgling label's first release was Kromozone's The Rush, released in April 1991. This was followed by six further releases later in the year from artists Austin, M&M, Rachel Wallace, Run Tings, Phuture Assassins and QBass. 1992 saw the label's first UK Top 40 singles chart entry - Sonz of a Loop Da Loop Eras' Far Out - a piano-led breakbeat track which reached number thirty-six in February. As rave music filtered into the mainstream, the label was to end the year with twelve UK Top 75 hits, and experienced the highest-charted debut from an independent record company since the charts began with Smart E's Sesame's Treet. The track, which sampled heavily from the US children's TV show Sesame Street, reached number two in the UK Top 40 in July of that year.
