i dont know how many other people get the newsletters/mailers from CLSM.net...but i recived this one a few weeks back and was suprised not to see anybody commenting on it...

DIZSTRUXSHON 17th BIRTHDAY @ DONCASTERþ
The CLSM live PA along with the rest of the Freeformation room has been cancelled for this Saturday. This was our final CLSM booking in the diary for any PA or DJ work. Of course other gigs may come up in the future. We may do something 'CLSM' in the Autumn as Ned will be around. Thanks to all of your support on the hardcore front, but I am sure you will understand, hardcore is a terrible place to work in and not very enjoyable - most of the people who buy our stuff left for other scenes around 2005!
A rough studio priority list has been drawn up 11 days ago. In that list are the 7 things I currently do in music. Somewhere near the top of that is a new Bassline House act called 'Maximus Baxter' very exciting stuff- I heard they are pretty cool. Also 75 Numbers who are signed to canyoufeelitmedia.com seem to have familiar members. Good news on the store front as we have all the new Darwin, Fracus and Cube::Hard stuff via Hardcore Underground/RFU recordingz.

i dont think there is an official "we are leaving" in there - it looks more like a taking a back seat whilst working on other projects type mailer...

If I had to summarise it would be this:
CLSM was involved in HU3, arguably one of the most critically revered albums in recent times, and one done with a hugely limited budget at exceeding personal risk to myself and Fracus. Despite a year of full time work, and literally bankrupting ourselves and putting our cars/houses/lives on the line, not much has changed.
Do you see the HU3 DJs on the big event line-ups? Do you see CLSM playing to decent crowds across the UK reguarly?
Is HU3 even likely to place top three at the HH awards?
No, no, no?
After many years of service, he's formed the opinion that we are better off leaving or hugely reducing activity IE not propping up something that is intent on treading on anyone and anything alternative. This is fair and intellectually justifiable.
We haven't suffered as long, and are collectively stupid enough to persist. It is *our* job to MAKE IT WORTH him doing more material and gigs.
CLSM is a hero. Through and through. Got hardcore on radio 1, huge musical contribution, been honourable and honest to a fault. So don't blame the player, blame the game. This is their fault, and this is our fault.
Every time someone like Fade, CLSM or DNA leaves our scene it is a testament to both the evils inherent to the "establishment" and our collective impotent inactivity. Not to mention the apathy of the modern "enthusiast".

QFT.
Though I was oddly listening to (2Morrow Is Our) Future (Remix of it) while listening to this.
CLSM taking a step back from hardcore?...
