31 Records (later 31 Recordings) is a British drum and bass label founded in 1994 by Doc Scott — a figure from the genre's first wave — and inaugurated with a jungle 12-inch by Detroit's Octave One. Long regarded as a "stamp of quality," it gave early releases to artists including Marcus Intalex, Calibre, Ed Rush & Optical and Digital. For Felix K, having his tracks "Recognition" and "Ice" signed to 31 around 2010 was an important external validation from outside Berlin; Doc Scott also put Felix K in touch with Marcus Intalex. The label took a hiatus in 2010 and relaunched as 31 Recordings in 2013.
