Also, there is about another 10 releases scheduled for hecttech and htse then no more..... i'll be closing the labels

who's gonna put out the nimrod tunes?...... maybe nick will go back to next gen/blatant beats (pacman prays for it ;)
the hecttech back-catalogue will become a collectors item - there's already some serious rare choons in there.
drugs is not the answer... drugs? is the question... yes is the answer

I haven't spoken to James yet about the topic issue, so I can't comment on that, but I'm curious as to why you'd want me to release on next gen again bud.
Has it really made that much of a difference?
I think the diversity of the remixes we're getting now is great, (that's not saying the next gen, mainly B&H mixes were substandard, no way). For instance, Luna C, my old Smart E's pal never remixed a track of mine for next gen, despite me suggesting it, but now he has, and what a remix that is (Crazy little fingers - mwx003). And phosphor, justrich, Devestate... plus theres another couple of people I've never worked with before doing remixes for the next two tracks, and these are huge names in the scene.
And lets not forget that were giving ANYONE a chance to remix Cloudy Daze soon, and get on the b- side of a future Blaze! release.
So do let me know your thoughts.
Cheers
Nick.

I don't know the reasons, I have not spoken to James (HectTech), but I can tell you this type of thing happens when you download tunes and not buy them!

LoL @ blaming downloading choons.
No, no, no. My guess is that he's less than thrilled by the response on USH.net of l8, and the general direction that hardcore seems to be going.
Personally I think it's a flawed decision, but the underlying motive is sound. If he's lost the heart for it, then it's better to go out on a high note.
We can but hope that he has a change of heart and sees that it is well respected labels such as his ( hecttech ) can provide the neccessary variety that makes 2002 hardcore the most exciting for a very long time.
It certainly doesn't help that the Hecttech tracks aren't getting played out, especially by the big names, enough in my mind. However I'd lay at least some of the blame for this on the fact that only the big-names ( who aren't playing them ) get promos of Hecttech releases.
At the moment I'd say it's all up in the air, but it's not the most heartwarming of situations for sure.

I found out the why it happened, I can't go into details because I don't think James wants to publicly release the reasons (I'll let him do it if he wants to)... but remember this... everytime you download, every time you copy a CD, everytime you rip something off and not pay for it, this is EXACTLY what happens!
Good shit dies when you don't ****en pay for it!

explains alot!!
but ppl wouldnt have to download tunes if they were easily bought,
true youve got the net, but more record shops selling more happy hardcore would surely help?
**im not voting for downloading tunes!!! Im against it totally, im just showing that there is two sides to every story!!!**
freedom to all who believe!!

that's a good point you made nick.... i guess i've just always been crazy about their work, and of late they have both been putting out some absolute quality tuneage. but yes the crazy little fingers mixes are truly hot and it does bring alot of diversity to your music. well i've changed my mind then! hahaha.
so who you working with now?
scott brown?? kaos?? fade?? hmmmmmmm speculation ;)
drugs is not the answer... drugs? is the question... yes is the answer

Hmmz, now that IS interesting, it actually does have something to do with piracy?
I was almost certain that it was due to the recent USH.net discussions mixed w/ the lack of exposure the releases are getting by the top DJs.
Now I'm intruiged.... but I'll refrain from asking questions I know I won't get an answer to ;)
Doesn't change what I said earlier tho, ffs start sending promos to trustworthy up 'n coming DJs, I'm sure I could come up with at least 5-10 names that would give the future releases the exposure they deserve.
As for downloading choons I think that:
OLD stuff: IE unavailable OR rare - is fine.
For example I'm downloading .mp3's from the KF early back catalogue, so I can figure out which ones I want from those I don't have.
Is this wrong? They are low-bitrate vinyl sourced .mp3's that skip around all the time and are of absolutely no use at all other than as a preview.
Aaaaaanyway, 'nuff w/ the off topic rantingz ;)

i think this is positive for the scene rather than negative, i am more likely to go out and buy more tunes if there are some little sound clips sitting around so i can listen to them. those clips are simply like advertisements, they encourage you to buy. the problem is when people are using downlaods or copies to listen to INSTEAD of buying.
