About Hydrogen Dukebox
Hydrogen Dukebox was founded in 1992 . The name is taken from an Allen Ginsberg poem 'Howl' which features a cafe with a jukebox called the Hydrogen Dukebox, the Jukebox in this seminal poem gives hope and inspiration to everyone who hangs out at the cafe.
The operation kicked off in a South East London kitchen with only a few releases controlled in equal measures by time and money. In 1994 Dragonfly (by TLM) made the end of year charts of many top DJs, and magazine opinion poles, this was a leftfield progressive House/Techno.
In 1995, the label became serious (still no office) and signed Slab who were to have a huge impact on the underground breakbeat scene with the single "Rampant Prankster" (mixed by Monkey Mafia) and the massive selling album "Freeky Speed". The following year, Hydrogen spawned another moniker 'Recordings of Substance' which launched James Hardway, the most internationally successful and prolific of the Hydrogen Dukebox artists, whose albums include the revolutionary "Deeper, Wider, Smoother, S**t" and more recently the cuban recorded "Moors and Christians" and "Straight From the Fridge".
Recently, the label's eclectic haze of music has had great global success with acts like Metamatics, Norken, Chamber and Justice to name a few, and currently at the helm A1 People who first bust onto scene in 1997 and with Hydrogen's help kicked off the new wave of Electro with the album "Fresh Juice" and a club called Track whos DJ line up now read like the whos who of Electro and Breaks. A1 People have been played extensively on Radio 1 and XFM in 2002.
2003 saw more Electronic Music For Heroes with releases from Chamber, Metamatics, A1 People, Plumbline, Pentatonik, Lithium Project and The Black Dog.
