DanceCrasher

This discography is very much a work in progress.

Unity Sounds and the Unity label were off shoots of Unity Hifi, the sound system from North London that was started by former Fatman Sound selector Robert “Ribs” Fearon in 1982.

There were quite a few mislabelled and/or mistitled releases on Unity Sounds and Unity labels, hopefully this discography will help to make sense of them. Due to the central role of Ribs to the Unity set up I’ve attempted to list his productions for other  labels but this is very much a work in progress. If you can help with labels scans, sound samples or corrections please get in touch.

Where there is a question in a [...] with this font then it’s something I need to clarify, again if you can help please get in touch.
