BOSCALAND History

Originally started in 1992 by the legendary DJ HMS and Jon The Dentist as the UK’s only gabba label at that time, it has matured into a broader hard techno style over the years as Jon took over running the label on his own.

As the BPM’s went down, the quality went up and Boscaland soon became a credible outlet for other techno artists such as DAVE The Drummer and The Liberator DJ’s. Collaborations such as Thera (Dave The Drummer & Chris Liberator) and The Weathermen (Julian Liberator and DAVE The Drummer) have graced the label and produced some of their best stuff whilst continuing the Boscaland sound.

With well over 40 releases under it’s belt, Boscaland  took another step in it’s evolution with a darker sound creeping in and an image change to mirror the mood. 

Jon himself enjoyed the ability to be able to experiment with his once favourite label under the pseudonyms of Kyoto, Silo and the excellent electro and breakbeat influenced Underground Cyber Movement. He even found time to do further collaborations himself, as well as producing music for his other labels Bosca Beats and Phoenix Uprising.

Early 1999 and Jon decided it was time to call it a day.  He wanted to put all his efforts into his commercial Phoenix Uprising label and put Boscaland to its final resting place

Boscaland is still a nice place to live – just don’t try leaving……
