Humanoid is an influential artist who emerged after a fortuitous meeting between Dougans and video artists Mark McLean & Colin Scott at the Hacienda in Manchester. It was during this encounter that they approached Dougans to create the music for their mesmerizing fractal videos, resulting in the creation of "Stakker Humanoid".

With a sound that defies categorization, Humanoid has become synonymous with pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories. Drawing inspiration from various genres such as techno, acid house, and electronica, Humanoid's music captivates listeners with its innovative blend of hypnotic beats and ethereal melodies.

Influenced by artists like Indo Tribe, Hardfloor, Phuture, and 808 State among others, Humanoid has carved out a unique space within the electronic music scene. With tracks that range from pulsating club anthems to ambient soundscapes, *Humanoid* continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their distinctive sound.

Jumpin' & Pumpin' (1989–2016) was a prominent British independent record label, part of Passion Music group. Best-known for signing The Future Sound Of London and publishing their earliest works before the seminal duo got a major record deal with Virgin. After the band's debut solo releases, *Accelerator* 12" EP (12 TOT 17) and *Lifeforms* CD/LP/MC (## TOT 2) in 1991, Jumpin' & Pumpin' quickly raised to fame. The second 'Accelerator' single, *Cascade* 12"/CDEP, came out in '94. Other notable early J' & P' releases include Brian Dougans's first EPs and numeros spin-offs by FSOL's Humanoid, Stakker Eurotechno, Smart Systems, Indo Tribe etc.

Since 1993, Jumpin' & Pumpin' focused on "various artists" CD/LP compilations dedicated to specific genres: Goa & psytrance, techno, drum'n'bass and jungle, Happy Hardcore, ambient-house/liquid dub. Only a few odd "solo" releases came out on J' & P' in the late '90s (for instance Unlimited Dream Co).

In 2001, coinciding with FSOL/Amorphous Androgynous "comeback," the duo returned to Jump

30 years ago this month (Nov 1988) Humanoid - Stakker Humanoid was the UKs No.1 song in the Dance charts - it would stay no.1 for 5 weeks also charting in the UK top 20 at No.17. Now regarded as an Acid House classic anthem and hailed as the first real UK acid house track to break the UK top 20. Humanoid music from 1988 was also used in Stakker Eurotechno - now housed in the museum of modern art (New York) and sighted as a major influence on early Aphex Twin music / Reflex. To celebrate Humanoid (Brian Dougans FSOL) has reworked the original into a 2018 Breaks Monster with two equally killer tracks on the b side Skatter and Blunt
