been good watch so far, nice history story of how toytown was made. also he said (lol) raverbaby tracks will be released digital... again ;)
Samination
Didn't listen myself but someone did say that he mentions it in the 3rd part and that it's delaying because of license issues.
Did he mention how he would release the tracks? If their going up on digital stores like beatport and juno, why not just upload what's ready and upload the rest later

I've enjoyed the Hixxy one the most out of all the podcasts so far. Finished episode 3 last night.
Edzo
Yeah I've been watching them. Nice to hear about the history of the genre from Hixxy himself. God I hope the raver baby stuff does actually release but I know it's a meme at this point

Far too much emphasis on "RB back cat" there are plenty of Hixxy tracks and collabs before RB started up that havent been released digitally that are far more important imo.
So it was good to hear Hixxy slip in 'there are some old bits..." too before it's moved on.

Guys also check out the Joey Riot legends chat on twitch. You can go back and watch them again and Hixxy was on about 3 weeks ago and they have a really interesting for over 3 hours.
Think the way Hixxy is planning on releasing the raver baby digitals is similar to what Scott brown has done with the evolution back catalogue. In bundles of 15 or so at a time with a mix to go with it. Also noticed today on beatport that castles in the sky and come together are available digitally.Hixxy and ufo early raver baby releases

There was Legendary music and a bunch of others in the early bonkers days

Yeah spoke to jase ufo and sent him the link and he had no idea so is going to speak to Hixxy. Reckon they will be vinyl rips?
Samination
"TM Records" might be "Tempo Music" (the parent label based on Discogs), but as that label apparently went bust in 2003, it can't be that either.
But based on the samples, I think it's vinyl rips. They have that typical "Makina ***%" washed out sound for older tracks

What have I done to you exactly? I never really remember having any kind of beef with you, even after supporting you by buying your albums and going to the raves you put up. The only thing I can think off is that time youwent off and blamed me for your albums being pirated, just because some swede put them up on website. To this date, I haven't file-shared them, other than the tracks I have used in my mixes.

I watched the episode where Hixxy was asked quite bluntly why there was no talent supported on the main stage lineups asides from the likes of Recon, Squad-E and Gammer around the 2005 time onwards.
"No-one was hitting the mark"
What a complete tosser. That's completely insulting to a lot of artists from around that time. There were plenty of people hitting the mark around that time (e.g Orbit1, A.B, Fracus, Darwin, CLSM)
Just further backs up what a small, highly political scene Hardcore was, and most likely still is today. I wonder if the scene would look any different if some of the top tier supported some of the up and comers with things like production, and getting them on line ups.

Yeah I thought the same when I listened to that episode. The top tier of the scene has always been about jobs for the boys. Its not what you know its who you know. Klubfiller is a perfect example of someone who was quite shit at producing and dj?ing but got all the top bookings because of his connections.

Could add DJ Kurt & VAGABOND who were hitting the mark then
Samination
Well we all know Hixxy's was more of a business mind, and the idea of only including the "big bois" worked for a couple of years

Vagabond most definitely, that guy was the most under-rated producer I'd say at the time.
Never saw much of his name on the line ups then. Shame really, really talented guy.
I've no idea how Hixxy had a hand in anything tbh politically or otherwise, can't fault him really for making such a big thing as Raverbaby and Bonkers. But back in the day he wasn't as popular like the others.
Gazza1712
I didn?t think vagabond was a DJ. He just produced and said this himself. I?m sure Years ago I heard this could be wrong though.
Vladel
Vagabond was only a producer

lol, what a complete jackass. There were loads of top tier dj's that fit the bill.

Well that explains why I never saw him on line ups.
Bloody awesome producer though.
Samination
VAGABOND fell out very quickly if you ask me. I loved his early run on NG/BB, but I didn't feel his later stuff. And especially not on the Candy Crush Music label.

Who, thumpa? :P
A Good DJ? yes, but as he has proven himself, a massive ego complex.

Well I didn't hear a great deal on Candy Crush, but Spacemist was one of my favourite tracks ever. I still listen to it now.

I found his stuff with dowster a bit like marmite. Couldn't stand some of it but they made some great tracks.
Edzo
Candy Crush was definitely a mixed bag but there are some really good ones. Changing, Never Go Away, Paradise, and Am I Dreaming are a few of my favorites among others
Triquatra
Such a *drastic* change in style and production I assumed he had switched engineers.
Craigavon raver
Yeah was a good watch, enjoyed it, must actually go back and catch up on the rest of them roar podcasts, well the hardcore ones anyway! need to listen to the second part of force & styles still
