About Me

Hairy Parents Records is the creation of a collective of music lovers set on releasing our own music DIY style. We don't need anyone to tell us what we're doing is good, we already believe in it and want to continue to make what we want - regardless of any opinion or current trend in music. We're predominantly Hip Hop focused, our main objective is to make available the kind of music that we enjoy - original, good quality, underground beats. This can range from straight up Hip Hop or something with a bit more of a twisted slant on the genre but Hip Hop none-the-less. We've been running as a label since 1999 and have existed as a group for much longer. You can check out our back catalogue of releases going back as far as 1991 on our website: www.hairyparents.comThe ALAN LAMB & IAN BEEF albums are both available to download now. Check out the two track taster of some forthcoming material from THE SHEPHERD and a absolute classic from UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. You can also download the ALAN LAMB video for free from the same site, as well as play the amazing MIXAMATOSIS beat mixing game, complete with two working Technics 1200's, a choice of ultimate breaks n beats and a drum machine thrown in for good measure. Have a go, its dope!
