A Trip to Trumpton

"A Trip To Trumpton" is a breakbeat hardcore song released in the early 1990s by the group Urban Hype,[1] and was produced by DJ Jack Smooth. It featured samples from the 1960s children's television programme Trumpton. It followed a popular trend at the time of releasing tracks based on children's TV samples - other songs that did this included The Prodigy's "Charly", based on the Charley Says series of public information films from the 1970s, and The Smart E's "Sesame's Treet", which sampled the theme music from Sesame Street. This subgenre was dubbed "Toytown Techno".
