Hi everyone,
For the past few months we have been working hard and laying down the foundations of our first international office of The Nu Energy Collective in the mighty United States of America! We have set the ball rolling and are taking the first steps in securing a consistent and reliable Hard Dance distribution network dedicated to bringing you the wide selection of UK Hardcore, Freeform, Hardcore Techno, Nu Style, Hard Style, Trance and UK Hard House currently on offer to Europe everyday.
If you live in North America and have a spare 5 mins we have setup a quick online questionnaire at www.nuenergyusa.com in an effort to find out how you feel, what you think and most importantly, what you want. This feedback will give us the answers we need to better understand you and your needs, ultimately forming an understanding that will help build the future of the industry that we are all so much a part of.
Thanks for your time
Si Apex

Hi all,
I will be back in Northern California on May 22nd. The office will be based in Sacramento, CA, serving the whole of North America. Our goal is to be operational by September 2006 and be achieving steady growth by the start of 2007.
Feedback has been consistent and very positive. We feel that there is a gap in the market that has growth potential. With a reliable distribution network in place, artists would have a larger platform for there material, potential buyers would have easy access to local stock and current buyers would save on international shipping.
A few years ago we were working closely with Majestic Distribution and we had products in many main stream US retailers including Tower and Hot Topic. I don’t see any reason why we can not achieve this again, especially with the current quality and presentation of all Hard Dance releases.
Our first step is to get as many people to take the online questionnaire at www.nuenergyusa.com as possible. So if you have a spare 5 minutes and have not done so already, please jump on and let us know how you feel, what you like and please recommend any local US stores that we should contact about becoming authorized NEC resellers. It is this information that we will be using to develop our business plan to ensure that everybody gets exactly what they want.
We have a great team in place, ready to work hard for the industry and drive this as far as absolutely possible. We are all very excited with future prospects and see this as a fantastic opportunity to push all genres of Hard Dance to another level.
Thanks again for your time

i forgot to add how expensive shipping is from overseas! thats one of the biggest things! :| phusion is like 6+ records and shipping is free *drool* |
| NeXuS |
Ill get in contact with some of my local vinyl suppliers about you guys, I really would love to help as much as I can. If theres anything else please let me know.
Southern California is my area and a current up and coming scene, in my perspective, and with right direction can become massive. |
| simonapex |
Any and all help is greatly appreciated 
If anybody would like to see there local US store stocking new Hard Dance releases then please shoot me over the name of the store, we will contact them and see if we can get them on board as an NEC authorized reseller.
Cheers

The future is bright

so awesome to see someone doing something about making hardcore and hard dance more accessible to the US and Canada - well done. I'll be in touch Simon! |

Why don't you do a tour of the States and see where you wanna be?.. NY or SF, I think, are the best... But I live in the midwest, they don't pay enough attention to Hardcore for reasons I don't know... Maybe Detroit? |
