The year 2001 saw Vandal's first vinyl outing came via the respected Welsh label Plastic Raygun, a remix of kitsch German pop group "Stereo Deluxe". Although the last track of four on the 12, it took everyone by surprise by becoming the most popular on the record, even the don of electronic music, Andrew Weatherall, championed the remix. With the Weatherall seal of approval Vandal was up and running. His debut single "Delivering The Goods" came out in 2001, also on Plastic Raygun label. It featured two tracks 'Boom Stick' and 'Mam Tor', two truely original heavyweight electro/breaks crossovers that immeadtiatly established Vandal as a key new figure in the rapidly growing world of breakbeat. American magazine XLR8R made 'Delivering The Goods' Breaks Single of the Month and stated; "Vandal is severely in the place". NME raved about it, BBC radio 1 played it and all the top DJ's supported it. By the end of 2001 Vandal was voted fifth best producer in the world and "Boom Stick" was voted third best single of 2001 by Breakspoll (International Breakbeat Awards). Not bad considering he only released one single and a couple of of remixes over that 12 month period...
