The RatPack, a prominent figure in the UK rave and dance music scene, have made an indelible mark on the landscape of electronic music through their highly energetic performances and genre-blending tracks. The group originally formed during the late 1980s, consisting chiefly of Evenson Allen (MC) and Lipmaster Mark (DJ), with their name paying homage to the famous Rat Pack consisting of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin among others. Despite the connotations of their name, the RatPack duo became synonymous with the underground rave scene, splicing together elements of breakbeat hardcore, old school jungle, and house music.

RatPack's career spans over decades and their contribution to the rave culture has been substantial, with tracks that have become anthems of the era. Presenting a unique and infectious blend of electronic music, they embroidered their sound with touches of reggae, hip hop, and acid house, all tied together by Evenson Allen's dynamic MC'ing and Lipmaster Mark’s scratching skills. Their latest releases like "Searching For My Rizla" reaffirm their relevance in today's scene, having been remixed by notable contemporary artists like Dope Ammo & Kleu and Pete Cannon. With "RatPack Presents The (co)LabRats," they continue to innovate by collaborating with other artists, and with projects like "Hands Of Time" and "The History," they delve into their rich heritage while still pushing musical boundaries. The RatPack not only represents a nostalgic trip for ravers of the early days but also remains a pulsating and pioneering force in the ever-evolving electronic music genre.
