    One of the greatest labels in 90s rave music history...a snapshot of what was going on in music from 1991 all the way up the early 00s.

        I love every single release on this label up to FORM 18, and some of the later ones (Future Followers, Rolling With The Punches). But somehow the stuff that was released after '92 doesn't seem to excite me a lot.. I think the newer stuff simply lacks the creativity? Might it be that EQ at some point quitted the label, and production was influenced by that? He doesn't seem to have anything to do with the newer releases at all..

          Ruff Justice ( http://discogs.sitiodesbloquea.com/label/52734-Ruff-Justice-Records) was another sublabel (which they used to for their Hip Hop output). DJ SS corroborated this in an interview feature with the label in the September 1993 issue of Eternity Magazine.
