Shaboom

SHABOOM RECORDS now has 3 labels under its belt. SHABOOM BLAKTRAX And SHABOOM AMERICA Shaboom was started by Dick Johnson, Ben Davis, Mark Bell and Paul Birchall as an act and a record label in Blackpool, the Mecca of the North and The Las Vegas of The British Riviera. The four met through a mutual appreciation of dance music in 1995 as Dick held down a residency at the Hacienda, Ben ran paperecordings, Paul was playing keyboards in M-People and Mark was a well known studio bod involved with Deconstruction and Cream's Olympic Records. They got together in Marks' studio and emerged with Wildride, a wild-pitch influenced house track that was snapped up by New Order's label, Rob's Records.
