Klub Foot

Klub Foot was a British record label, known primarily for its output of hardcore and rave music during the early to mid 1990s. It played a significant role in the development and popularization of the happy hardcore subgenre.

The label was founded in 1991 by DJ Slipmatt and his partner, alongside producer DJ Lime. Klub Foot quickly became known for its fast-paced beats, catchy melodies, and distinctive vocal samples, often featuring sped-up or pitched-up vocals and comical or cartoonish elements.

Klub Foot released numerous influential tracks and compilations that helped define the sound of the early UK hardcore scene. Some of the artists associated with the label include Slipmatt, DJ Lime, DJ Dougal, and various pseudonyms used by the label's core production team.

The label ceased releasing new material in the late 1990s, coinciding with the decline of happy hardcore's mainstream popularity. However, its music remains highly influential and is still enjoyed by many fans of electronic dance music. Klub Foot is remembered as a pivotal label in the history of rave and hardcore music culture in the UK.

Klub Foot's releases are often sought after by collectors and DJs, and the label's sound continues to be sampled and referenced in contemporary electronic music production. Its legacy is cemented as a key contributor to the evolution of hardcore and its various subgenres.
