Formation Records
Formation Records is a Leicester-based drum and bass label that was founded in 1989 by DJ SS (Leroy Small) and his partner. The label came to prominance from 1992 onwards releasing countless classics of darkside hardcore/jungle over the next couple of years. The label evolved with the times and by 1994 was one of the leading jungle labels.
In the wake of this, the label created a number of subsidary labels, each showcasing a differing style of music from the main imprint, including 100% Records, 5HQ Recordings, Reformed Records, New Identity, Easymen and F Project.
In more recent times however, individual artists' experiences with the label have come to light. This has led to Formation Records being criticized for exploiting their artists, among other things. It is alleged that EQ, Rayner, Mental Power, Technique, Jon B, Twisted individual, Zen, Generation Dub, Vital Elements, Mutated Forms, Smoke, Conecta and Nero, along with many others, are still owed money for releases.
