Slampt was started by Pete Dale and Rachel Holborow in mid-1992, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The "label" (we preferred to call it an arts umbrella) was fervently DIY throughout its 8 year existence. We begun with fanzines and cassettes, eventually spreading out to doing 7" singles, LPs, CDs and a thick A4 zine called "Fast Connection" which had 5 issues in 4 years. We also put on shows fairly regularly in North East pubs. There were 60 releases on the label, including debut singles by YUMMY FUR, KENICKIE and RED MONKEY. Most of the releases were manufactured in batches of 500 to a thousand, totalling a surprising 44,000 across the 60 releases.
