Quadrastate is a mini-album by the British electronic music group 808 State. It was released in July 1989 through Creed Records.[3] It contains the original version of "Pacific State", one of the most popular tracks by 808 State, which later made the band famous after extended airplay on BBC Radio 1 led to the band being signed to major label ZTT Records.[4][5]

The record entered the Top Dance Albums chart at number 10 on 9 September 1989,[6] and reached number 1 on 4 November.[7]

On 19 May 2008, the British Rephlex Records label re-released the record in double vinyl and CD format.[8][9]

The re-issued version featured seven additional bonus tracks not included in the original. In addition, there were some alterations to the originally released version, including editing to the track "106".[8][9]
