Compulsion was always my favourite out of the pair anyway haha, no in all seriousness you guys played one or two United dance events early 2000s. And a few others And you have now re appeared. I'm not fussed as it's not like you left a legacy behind or anything is it. Just a poor mans version of force and styles and and very poor mans version of Sy and unknown. :-)

Are you putting Sy & Unknown above Force & Styles?

Absolutely yes, firstly from a djing point of view both Sy and unknown individually are better than both force and styles. And then from a record label point of view UK dance was only running for probably 4 or 5 years and yeah they made some absolute anthems but there sets were not full of the most upfront of hardcore at the time, they were still playing there 96 stuff in late 1999 where as quosh ran for nearly 18 years, and there sets were always full of new music. Don't get me wrong heart of gold paradise and dreams etc etc were much better than the majority of tunes put out on quosh but looking at the bigger picture Sy and unknown were the much better partnership would you not agree?

Hmm.. I think that's pretty tough to call since you put it like that. I think if you asked me now if I'd rather see Force & Styles producing again, or Sy & Unknown, then it'd be F&S. But you're right, it is undeniable how much stuff Sy & Unknown bought out.

Yeah imagine if force and styles were to announce they were going to write a new hardcore track together, would be amazing! I think they have spoken about the idea actually and I asked force about it but he said where he has been out the game for so long it would just sound like a Darren styles track plus force said he wouldn't have much of an input or an idea on Modern production techniques, which is a shame.

wasn't the reason F&S split that they where going in different direction with their sound?

No they split because force had a young family and wasn't making the money he was from the earlier years so took a full time. He did re launch UK dance around 2005 maybe earlier and was working with Jamie ritmen but it wasn't the same and he got left behind music wise as you can tell from the tracks he put out around this time

I wonder what is happening with the album? I asked him over a year ago about releasing Show Me The Sunshine and he said they had found the DAT but were releasing an album with everything on.

Forget all this Force and Styles nonsense.
The big question here has to be - WHERE HAS SKETCHY GONE?!!!

I've spent the last 2 days in bed! I'm awake and back online though. Yes me and Paul Compulsion's career was very short lived at the top. Hopefully I can kick start my career again with the album I am writing. I'm seeing Paul in December, so I'm gonna try get him involved on a track for the album then.

but it's not
It's an empty pub with a couple of people playing pool, a few old locals sitting down having a drink and one or two new people standing at the bar waiting for the keep to come along, who are about to leave because they've been waiting too long.
Get more of an audience in ASDAs toilets.
I lurk all the time :s
