https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154687008656501&id=518641500 I know he's said it before but I think he means it this time, if this is definite then I can not even imagine how many people owe their thanks to him, I remember when he released early prospect and spyro tracks,and said they were 2 to look out for, and look at them now, re build was the label of the year for me for quite a few years, so if this is goodbye, then thank you re build for bringing through and releasing some of the best tracks I have EVER heard.

I honestly honestly think, if it wasn't for Thumpa, freeform would quite possibly be obsolete by now.

But if it's time to give up, it's time to give up, but deep down i don't think you'll ever give up, because it's what you are....

The post is gone :/.
If true though that sucks for any freeform fans. I can't lie and say I'll be too too disappointed - I have Blood, Sweat & Tears but was never a fan of freeform so largely stayed away from his releases, but it's always disappointing to hear someone so integral to breaking new artists and keeping a niche subgenre in an allready niche genre alive. Him and the Stamina guys seemed to carry on the torch that was passed when Sharkey and Kev Energy quit being in the scene full time.

It's the 3rd time he does it so :P
Skidzorz: Back when I got into hardcore (2002ish), Freeform has always been a big part of combilations, especially the Bonkers ones. Ofcourse, when Bonkers stopped bein made, Sharkey going into berserker mode and Kevin Energy (among others) tried to make Freeform a Hard Dance genre, rather than a Hardcore one, Freeform lost it's identity (i.m.o.).

Thumpa calling it quits is about as reliable as a when a WWE wrestler gets "fired" only to come back days later

You get people who moan about things , then you get people who get off their ****in arse and do something about it, Thumpa is one of those people, never gave up, always stood up for what he believed in, REAL MAN.

But I think freeform will never take off like UK hardcore cause it takes a certain level of intelligence to understand it, whereas UK hardcore a lot of the time is music for stupid people...... discuss....

If only Sharkey, AMS, K-Complex, Tazz and Impact would come back and make proper freeform instead.
Maybe, when Thumpa is thinking of making a CD again, he should get these guys a proper thumbing :P

He's got a new house and a young family. Can understand his pledge to them, but I doubt he'll be gone for long.
