Profile:	The first Babyboom Record was released back in 1994 by Brothers In Crime with Hallucinating and brought forward a hardcore gabber style called funcore. Since the first release the label increased in popularity during the mid-nineties. In the beginning with their happy funcore hardcore and from the 20th release with a mainstream newstyle hardcore sound. In 2003 the label released it's last new release by The Viper called Intellectual Killer, a straight hit. After this 46th release Babyboom Records was sold to So-Real and they eventually initiated a re-release label called [Combined Forces Revenge] on which 8 releases with the best tracks were released. Eventually So-Real went bankrupt and Cloud 9 Music bought the rights and started re-releasing some of the best Babyboom's for this label and compilation releases in the form of the The Collected Hardcore Works (HAWOR Series) on the [Cloud 9 Dance] label. Eventually four parts of the HAWOR series had been released and several Babyboom releases have been repressed which came in an (non-original) repress cover. Babyboom Records was a Subdivision of Combined Forces.

First 20 releases are quality, the 'Newstyle' from 21+ wasn't the ame for me.

This is one of the labels ran by the people from Radio Stad Den Haag, a notorious radiostation dating from the eighties. They had a big impact on the development of the local housescene by organizing raves in 1991 (for instance a serie of legendary Rave The City parties) and opening two record stores called Stad Den Haag Records. (later on taken over by Midtown)

The first 20 releases on Babyboom were very common, mainstream (happy) hardcore tracks. This suddenly changed with the 21st release when Babyboom got a complete restyle: a more professional and funkier look, plus a refreshing new type of hardcore, called "Newstyle"

Newstyle was significantly slower than most dutch hardcore was at the time. Often with oldskool and hiphop samples, extreme loud bass and very jumpy. Together with P, newstyle dominated the dancefloors in the late nineties. Babyboom had an important part in it.

Combined Forces is bankrupt so BABY 046 is the last release.
So-Real bought the licence of Babyboom. But they not allowed to bring out new material on the label Babyboom.
