Shock Records was created in 1995 by ourselves Graham Eden & Rachael Shock (a.k.a the Brain Bashers) . Our first record was written . produced by us and then mastered at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London . The Master plate was sent to the pressing plant and pressed to 12" vinyl  and then sent to Mo’s Music Machine in London for distribution to all the shops in the UK.

 

As soon as (Shock1 - Shock Waves - Need and Want ya) was released it immediately became a success on the club circuit.  Hot on its heels we released  Brain Bashers - Feel the Rush and this record became even more successful with support from the legendary Tony De Vit . We had the pleasure and honour of meeting Tony at Claires Nightclub (run by Mike and Ben McGowan) in our hometown of Torquay and gave him our record personally just before his DJ set. The following week Tony contacted us and said he wanted to license “Feel the Rush” to a mix album called “Trade Volume 3” featuring a CD of NRG house tracks mixed by Tony. We was so excited about this as we was keen fans of the famous “Trade sound” at Turnmills nightclub London .We drew much inspiration from tracks played by Tony De Vit , Taul Paul, Steve Thomas , Pete Wardman ,Ian M and Rachel Auburn which was an energetic , pumping and bouncy house sound. Tony supported all of our records on his radio shows on Kiss FM ,in  his DJ sets and through his signings to many of his CD’s . We really couldn’t have thanked Tony enough for giving our music his stamp of approval and also giving our record label profile and music such a big boost. Tony was an amazing and legendary DJ . Sadly Tony passed away in 1998 rest in peace and god bless.

We were the longest running resident DJ’s for the legendary Monastery nightclub  in Torquay and over the next few years built a big fan base of regular clubbers into the NRG  bouncy house sound . Clubbers would travel from all over the south west to experience “The Mony” which was the only all night venue in the south west . We remember many full capacity nights full of mad clubbers  dancing up until 7am on the sunday morning!  We sold thousands our Editions and Volumes Mix tapes over the years (I think we mixed a total 60 tapes) to the very loyal monastery clubbers and still today we get requests for copies!
