Happy Records (1992-1994)
Happy Records was a sub-label of Mad Mike’s legendary Underground Resistance. As the name suggests, Happy Records focused on the more positive sounds coming out of Detroit. Big on pounding piano riffs and soulful vocals, singers Bridgett Grace and Davina both received the Mad Mike production touch to turn out tracks packed with upbeat vibes. Last year, KiNK revisited Unit 2’s ‘Sunshine’ with a huge remix on Gerd Janson’s Running Back imprint.
