Speed Limit 140 BPM+

Speed Limit 140 BPM+ is a series of hardcore techno, jungle and drum and bass music compilation albums, released mostly in the mid-1990s. The series was originally put out by Moonshine Music, and some were re-released under the name of its subsidiary Planet Earth Recordings. All releases were easily identified by their cover artwork, which frequently featured a large logo in the style of a speed limit traffic sign.

As the name of the series suggests, the primary defining factor of these releases was that they all featured music at a tempo over 140 beats per minute (some even reaching speeds as high as 180 BPM). The series featured many notable artists from the UK's jungle and drum and bass scenes, such as Omni Trio, LTJ Bukem, 2 Bad Mice, Origin Unknown, Potential Bad Boy, DJ Hype, Urban Shakedown, and Goldie (recording as Metalheads).
