What I love about Bonkers 9-XI is that it has something for everyone.
I love all forms of hardcore, and I like all 3 CDs on 9 and X (don't have XI yet :P).
I really don't like the trancey stuff on Hixxy's X mix, but I'm not going to slag him or tell him to leave for a few reasons. 1) It's still hardcore, even though I don't like it. 2) People dig it, people who usually don't like hardcore dig it. 3) Hixxy is awesome :)
Now a good question is...why is React going with this format...why are they not mixing it up? A possible answer is that firstly, these latest ones got some excellent fanfare. I remember reading a web review from a guy who listens to punk and metal, and he loved Hardcore Mutation, all 3 CDs. Why change it if it ain't broke?
Another answer is that there are those who are saying "Kick Hixxy off of Bonkers trance doesn't belong on it" and some say "Kick Sharkey off" and "kick Scott Brown off" and if you really need proof I can provide links to actual threads...but it just goes to show that everyone can't be happy. Everyone have different tastes. It honestly seems to me that there aren't many that like all 3.
I agree though, strictly speaking the definition of Bonkers...or the image I get is crazy bouncy techno, cheesy hardcore, carefree uplifting tracks, etc. Though I love 9 and X, I agree that the name doesn't fit...the names "Hardcore Mutation" and the like do suit the CDs though.
Also keep in mind that there are a lot of other mix CDs being released. I haven't checked out that Hardcore Heaven one...but as far as I know it has more of the bouncy techno cheesy stuff. If you dig that, buy it! More buys means that it will be more likely that me-too mix CDs will come out to satiate demand...well I guess that's not the case with H2BH which has sold pretty good yet is the only North American Hardcore mix CD that I know of...
Anyways back to the point...it offers something for everyone, not everyone is going to be happy, there are other mix CDs with bouncy techno on it, and that React is just going along with something that is still working well for them (as in making $$$).

Leave Hixxy Sharkey and Scott Brown on it, i'm sure ifsum people had there way it would be Hixxy, B+S and DNA and if others had there way it would be Scott Brown, Neopthye and Dj Paul or summat:)<<that wud b me;) The point is at the mo Bonkers reaches right from trancy hardcore thru freeform to gabber and imo that is a good thing, it reaches so many more people and sells better making the next bonkers more likely, so why break that formula and risk losing the bonkers series agen?!
