Launched in 1984 with the release of the 12" Vinyl "Beatronic," Techno Hop
Records was the brainchild of Andre Manuel aka The Unknown DJ. The
label and its music production arm Big Beat Productions, co chaired by the left coast phenom graphic artist Lyrrad (Darryl Davis), were created to

catapult their careers. And now, nearly 25 years later, we begin again.
