But it was in 1988 that they started to hit big time. They released their second album ''Bummed'', produced by Martin Hannett. At the same time they released from the album the single "Wrote For Luck", which would later on be remixed famously by Paul Oakenfold and Vince Clarke (the latter known as former member of Depeche Mode, the former as one of the DJ's who started to bring House music to the UK via Ibiza). By this point, they achieved their particular sound, by mixing, besides Indie Rock and House, genres and styles such as {{Funk}}, Northern Soul and PsychedelicRock, as well as using Latin-style rhythms and Country music twangs. Compared to the more traditionalist songwriting and heavy psychedelia of their counterparts Music/TheStoneRoses, the Happy Mondays sound was more technologically modern, based on {{Sampling}}, and dancefloor-friendly.
However, it was only through the release of the ''[[TropeNamer Madchester EP ]]'', that the Mondays finally got into Top of the Pops. They played alongside Music/TheStoneRoses, who also got into the national charts through the "Fools Gold" single, transforming what was mainly a regional scene into a full-blown national craze which also got the nickname "Baggy" (largely due to the baggy clothes worn by both bands, though the label "baggy" was applied to the Mondays and similar bands that emphasised the funky elements of their sound, as opposed to the more psychedelic Madchester popularised by the Roses), at the same time that Rave culture, fueled by Acid House and Techno, started to cause interest among the nation in the so-called "Second Summer of Love".
