DESCRIPTION:
1991 Breakbeat / Techno Monster Repressed - Straight from the heart of the 1991 UK rave scene — CUT001, later known as Rabbit City 001, captures the raw underground energy of the era. Originally a short-run white label promo, the record became an instant cult classic.
Produced by Blow alongside Colin Faver (Kiss FM legend RIP), the release was born out of London’s early rave network — record shops packed with weekend ravers, distributors playing new cuts down the phone, and pirate radio pushing the boundaries.
Born from London's 1991 rave underground, this two-track release encapsulates the moment UK hardcore began mutating from Detroit-inspired techno into something rather gritty and more local. Produced by Blow with Colin Faver, it feels engineered for the chaos of pirate radio and unlicensed warehouses - fast, functional, and emotionally direct. 'Cutter Mix' works around clipped breakbeats and strafing synths, the tension rising through mechanical repetition rather than melody. 'Beyond Control' dives further into distortion with kick-heavy framework and ghosted vocal samples hinting at the darker aesthetic that would shape jungle and breakbeat hardcore. Heard today, it still sounds nervy and physical - a study in economy and impact that explains how the UK made techno its own.
