Just trying to find a little bit out about this label. Stumbled across this ... an article written in 1987 about Faze1 FM, a pirate station running out the same address stamped on the Mendoza labels (5 Oval Place)

 

Faze1 FM 90.9 FM

The 'hippest and most happening alternative radio station on the airwaves', with soul, funk, hip-hop and more, 24 hours a day.

 

and the line-up included [snipped] :

 

Weekdays

 

12pm DJ Fabio

..

1am Groove Rider (Mo) Desi G & Barry White (Tu) S.J.B. (We) Clive B (Th) Ester J (Fr)

 

 

Sunday

 

9am Groove Rider

..

8pm Mendoza

 

 

So that's a nice bit of background info. And it seems that Faze1 are still going .. and they still share the same contact details as Mendoza Records. Obviously providing wedding entertainment these days as a side line ;)

 

Seems they released a tune or two as well as one on Arista listed in discogs

 

 

Found some stuff out about Underkut as well .. seems he's known as DJ Phusion these days and has been involved with the following releases on Mendoza ..
