this-is-bonkers They cant...well i mean i know they can, but anyone but AATW!..their going to totally **** it up!
bulby_g Errr. Is this fact? Not good news. :s
simdog how bout we all chip in then hhc.com can own bonkers :p
K6HLR this aint good the label that was going to sign DJ ****in rankin now wants bonkers! all they'll do is ruin it turn it into another clubland hardcore album with breeze & styles all ova it and really shit hixxy remixes!!! looks lyk 17 is really gona be the last good bonkers!!!
redwingz FFS this better not happen!

Some one PM Brisk n ask NextGen 2 buy it :p

Anyonee but AATW
Quicksilver Who came up with this cruel joke?
dreamowner yeah, IF it does happen they will totally ruin it. If they are seriously considering buying it its because of the popularity of the Bonkers name in the hardcore scene - but turn into another Clubland Hardcore Xtreme. As GeeJ said... Bonkers 17 will prob be the last REAL Bonkers.
DJ Euphoric This is not right.
Craig Switchback According to Darwin, all is well with Bonkers and he say's there's nowt to worry about regarding it's future. :P
I'll take his word.
Smoogie They are going to call it Donkers no doubt, all donks and not chance of any classic style Hardcore!
Craig Switchback Let's just wait and see heh. A few things i've heard, have changed my initial impression. :P

silver From the news page (in case you don't know what this topic is about):

We normally don't post on speculation but we've heard from several sources that All around the world (AATW), creators of the Clubland and Clubland X-treme hardcore series, are considering purchasing former Resist music CD album series Bonkers.

When we phoned AATW the last week to confirm this piece of information and was told that AATW was indeed considering the purchase and their options. How serious AATW to purchasing Bonkers is unknown or at what stage the two parties are in negotiations or if they will actually buy the brand.

We'll keep you posted.
CDJay I wouldn't assume the worst, I won't claim to know all the ins and outs but I have a decent idea who is behind this move and like f*** would they compromise the series.

Clubland Xtreme Hardcore is the way it is because of it's immense profile, sales expectations, and the DJs behind it. Whilst I'd be suprised if it was quite as representative as 17 I doubt that after the relative critical acclaim for that volume we'll see a total reversal

What I'd like to see is the base of 17 built upon, paired with the retail presence that AATW can no doubt supply. Why assume the worst?

CDJay
djhutton would aatw have 2 buy resist aswel to have bonkers, or can they just get the rights to bonkers?
DJ Euphoric I hope this does not go through AATW and Bonkers does not sound right I'd rather have a well known hardcore label to buy it.
this-is-bonkers Hixxy should get it on his HTID label since he was one of the founders of it...atleast we know it'de be in good hands LOL..
whittle1 I knew that everyone would be having a winge about this as soon as it was posted.
I think its a good thing, aslong as anyone steps in to continue Bonkers.
Bonkers has always been about trying new things, and thats one of the factors that has made it so successful.

A company like AATW will likely restrict how much they can experiment though. No doubt they will say it can only be put out if it has a naked girl on the front, is mixed by "top dj's" and only contains cheeser anthems.

I'll be happy to be proven wrong though.
DarrenJ they stole my idea :(
I posted this idea 2 weeks ago in another thread
DJ Euphoric Fact is Bonkers will continue to make CDs.
DiGiC Wooo AATW + Bonkers = Cascada disc!!!

I think I'm gona be sick
blatentbeat bonkers has always had its unique style and as long as it is kept to the original bonkers format whoever takes it over i will be happy...the bonkers brand would not be abused as a selling point for aatw....well i hope not anyway...

Yeah you're probably right. The company will influence what goes on the Cd, but i'll choose to buy it regardless.
DJ Euphoric Never know some other company might join in but I hope that is not the case.
JamieLeeds get gammer on the next bonkers pleaseeeeeeeee

it wont happen but id like to see the following (assuming styles, breeze, sy & unknown wont feature..)
cd 1 hixxy(with his better mixes, not the clubland x ones) & squad-e
cd2 gammer n dougal
cd3 either joey riot & kurt or sharkey n kevin energy (or even put the others on a 4th cd ;)

scott brown/brisk should be on aswell i suppose... **** it make it a 5 cd-er
CDJay Hixxy does clubland xtreme hardcore.

Dougal & Gammer have True Hardcore.

Sharkey IS Bonkers.

Line-up for 17 was pretty much spot on IMO, I'd hope they'd stick w/ it for Vol 18 at least.

Getting some newbies on once it's re-established might be nice, any of the HU DJs would be fine ;)

Sounds good.

I'm still sticking by my idea of an international Bonkers. Say 3 CD's - one UK, one USA & one Japan. Mixed by DJ's from the respective countries and featuring tracks from the respective countries.

*edit*

Make that 4 CD's - can't forget Australia

That's a excellent idea.
Spot on!
Vladel I'd like to see a completely different dj lineup on bonkers with some different crossovers

Disk 1 Sy & Brisk
Disk 2 Kutski & Clsm
Disk 3 Neophyte & scott brown
tru bass can nukleuz or sv afford to buy bonkers?

and why cant sharkey claim it as his or something like that?

i dont want aatw to buy bonkers as they would take advantage of the popularity and sales figures for it and put stupid commercialised crap on it..

i just want it back to a 'hardcore' record company because i dont think you can get it better than it used to be
DJ Euphoric It'll be interesting to see who mixes the next Bonkers.

Weaver and suae please!!!!
silver To answer a few questions:

Please read the news topic, I've seen people cross posting this on other forums making the claim we are stating this as fact, please read the news! This is not 100% as AATW said they are considering it, meaning they might choose not to buy the brand and that is how we wrote the news piece.

Just because a company goes into Liquidation does mean the brand name is released, just the same way a bank repossesses your house or car if you don't make payments on it, the house / car is sold by the bank or liquidators. This is not to say the liquidators own the brand name one of the directors of Resist or a broker might own the naming rights at this point it is unknown right now.

If you all chip in hhc.com could buy the rights, we would have to make an offer for it and I'm sure it would cost a pretty penny, so anyone with a bucket load of cash please contact us :)

And can't go above 170 BPM
Hard2Get I really don't see the problem, Hardcore (Bonkers) is already nearly entirely 'Clubland' stuff to begin with, so surely for all of you this should be a good thing since that is what you seem to like.

just roughly how much would a bucket load be?
Torpex Actually it's an interesting concept. Roughly, how much for the rights and how much for production and distribution of B18?
Orbit1 I enjoy how the majority of people have no clue about the music business or the inner workings of CDs, yet feel compelled to express the idea that AATW buying the bonkers brand would be a bad thing.

Oh no, we can't have Bonkers marketed and pushed by a company who knows what they're doing, let a smaller, inexperienced label take over so they can drive the brand further underground.

Bollocks.

This is exactly what needs to be done. A big company buying a well known brand with a cult following can only improve things. This would mean that artists would get paid, the CD gets more exposure, and the general fanbase would increase. Heaven forfend that such a thing happen.

Frankly, I don't think you know how much effort and planning goes into making something like a Bonkers album happen.

Be it AATW, Ministry, Gut or someone with stupid money like EMI, Warner or SonyBMG, someone with power and influence in the music scene needs to take Bonkers and restore it to its former position of authority.

Having said all that, I think there's still gonna be another barrage of posts from net-know-it-alls and 17 year old keyboard warriors complaining about it right after this post.

*flame on*

TBH, if it's at the cost of me enjoying the series, I couldn't give a shit.

I don't care if Hardcore goes commercial (it's a good thing, obviously) but I hate the way it's changing to sound more and more like commercial dance just to push its way onto the market. There is no point in hardcore being commercial if it isn't hardcore anymore, we may as well all just go start buying/listening to/making Scouse House.



this-is-bonkers DJ Fee's - £600 (im guessing about £100+ for each DJ Mix)
Artwork prices - £350 (Paul charges £150 for the caricatures & Me company cant be far behind)
Distrubution & Advertising - ALOT!
production - ALOT MORE lol

a bonkers album for the fans, by the fan - Priceless

main thing we have to take into consideration, AATW are pay thinking about buying the rights they havent said their going to..Whilst we all hope that they wont god help us if they do because we all know what a mess they made of CLXH & i for one do not want a bonkers album with naked chicks all over it, because it would end up turning into another peice of mass comercialised crap..

KEEP HARDCORE UNDERGROUND!!

Erm, from what I remember, CLXH actually did and is continuing to do really really well. Ask any serious producer and they'd wish they had tracks on CLXH.

No one ever said about hardcore "going commerical", though amusingly I heard Save Me (original hardcore mix) on radio1 when I was over in the uk. You act like AATW are going to control every minute aspect of the CD to the point of telling the Djs, what tracks to put on the CD, which I can guarrantee is never the case. Do you know who picks the tracklist for CLXH? The djs do. Actually, as far as I know all mixed CD tracklists are done by the dj. The only thing I imagine happening should a giant company buy the Bonkers brand is more funding, a more professional polish, and better advertising.

And if you guys are serious about keeping hardcore underground and supporting it at its roots, how about actaully buying smaller compilations like HU2?

Screw the "underground", let hardcore adapt, evolve and grow. If you want truly underground music, get into some frenchcore, or some wack industrial metal. Lot of talk, not much action.
Samination or listen to the more forgotten freeform that Electronica Exposed is releasing

Saying that the record label have no influence over the sound on their CD series is the most naive thing I've ever heard. :s

Well said.

Bottom line is people should stop moaning and be greatfull that a company as big as AATW have gotten involved with Hardcore. It's almost clich'e now for people to bitch about the "commercialisation of hardcore" (been guilty of this myself in the past). How many people actually do somthing about it?

If you don't like it don't listen to it - and do us all a favour and shut up.

That is true hence why I don't read half of the posts on here
von-X Commercialisation of hardcore is a fact, not a cliché.

Compare Clubland X-treme Hardcore 1-2 with CLXH 3-4, compare the Hardcore Nation series with the Hardcore Adrenaline series, and you will see the difference. And these are the same djs!

Glad we still have the Hardcore Underground series, and the new Hardcore Nation looks good as well. I hope the Freeformation album will continue, and Brisk said The Collection V.4 will come out this year. :)

:p
redwingz i think alot of people are worried about hardcore becoming too commercial and it becoming a fad. Its like the indie scene, i know a few people who have been into indie all their life even when it wasnt popular and they now feel that their scene is getting ruined a bit because eevery1 is jumping on the bandwagon of what is 'cool'. My mates used to love going to indie clubs but now they say its changed and that its really hard to find a 'true' indie club that just plays indie music. Example: My mate was in town and a guy who hands flyers out asked him to come into his club and my friend asked what music it was and the guy said indie. To which my friend asked 'is it proper indie or crap like kaiser chiefs etc' The guy told him it was proper indie. My mate went in and said it was good, an hour and a half in, Grandmaster Flash came on! When my mate said to the dj 'i thought its an indie club' the dj just shrugged.

i think people are just worried that this will happen to hardcore and people will not give a shit about the music and use it as a payday and a way to become cool.

I guess people just dont wanna be walking down the street hearing 14 year old chavs saying. 'OMGZ!!!!! Av u erd dis brand new d.j, playing this brand new type of music!!! Hes called DJ Gammer!!!! neva erd of him before so he must be new to the scene!!!"!
spudpeel Does whoever buys bonkers also inherit the debt that Amato owes all the artists? Cos if so, then someone with cash would be the ideal group i would guess?

I worry slightly about the commercialistion of hardcore, but was I the only person on this forum who enjoyed CLXH 4? Not to say I didnt enjoy Bonkers, there are just different ways of producing hardcore. Some are more 'polished' or commercial, but thats a matter of preference, even if the darren styles' of the scene go more commercial, it doesnt mean that they or the rest of the producers will necessarily abandon us all does it? I dont pretend to know anything about how the music industry works, but I dont really understand the 'doomsday' feeling about commercialisation.

And even if Bonkers is ruined by AATW, bonkers is only a name on a box, there are plenty of other titles around.

Don't forget a 5th one for The Netherlands! For all the Gabber heads out there!
tru bass at the end of the day if its a bad cd dont buy it and if its a good cd buy it.

i feel attatched to bonkers as a series seeing as it got me into hardcore but at the end of the day there are loads of other cds and our favorite bonkers djs are going to move on to other compilations.

anyway i dont see hardcore being commercialised to the level people are fretting about.
could you imagine turning over the channel and seeing dougal and gammer belting out the tunnel to an audience on top of the pops?

commercialise it all you like, im staying true to the real stuff

No, I thought CXH4 was the best CXH to be honest. Or tied with CXH2 at least. But I'm worried Bonkers will become like it, I like Bonkers for what it is - different than CXH. But if that is not the case and the style of Bonkers will remain the same, then what harm could it do if AATW bought the series?

No, I also liked CXH4 and bonkers 17 as well. I also like Euphoria Hardcore, H Adrenaline 1 & 2 (not 3), HU 1 & 2, and a few other ones that have been highly criticized as being crap to many ppl on here. The thing is hardcore comes in different styles from commercial to cheezy to underground. There truly is something for everyone. I enjoy every single style of hardcore, maybe not so much gabber but there are some good trax from it that I like.

Yes I understand how ppl are worried about commercialization ruining the scene and the whole genre, but what if it does? Do you really think that it will last? I'm seeing so many jumpstyle or hardstyle tracks right now and it more than likely won't last. Yes commercialization is a fad.

Do we remember how we all have talked about how the 2000 era of hardcore sucked? how many of us stuck to the scene while all the criticism happened? fans and djs/producers? I truly believe that if you are a tru hardcore fan, you would stick to the scene through thick and thin, the good and bad. ppl who just come in midway and suddenly leave because it's no longer 'underground' are not tru fans.

I for one have not been a hardcore fan for a long time. I actually became one during the 2000 year and since then have collected tracks in the genre from 95 to present. The scene has change drastically, but the music is still good. It may not be as fast as it once was but I will still stick to it through thick and thin, good or bad.
redwingz At the end of the day, i lovee hardcore, i listen 2 it every single day and i couldnt imagine loving another type of music as much as i do hardcore!

Resist was not distributed via Amato, two separate bankruptcies, in a nutshell, Amato went bankrupt after merging with Unique distribution, Resist went bankrupt after one of their other dance compilations sold badly and had quite alot of returns.
spudpeel Ah thanks for that, I clearly haven't been following this closely! Although, my question still stands as to whether the artists who lost out will be repaid.
Meathead i think its just a bit early to be passing judgement int it? even if AATW do buy the rights to bonkers, theyve already got CLXH. they might not want another. so if they dont try and influence bonkers too much sureley this can only be a good thing. more money, better advertising and publicity and could attract more people to the scene which isnt neccesserily a bad thing, is it?
Future_Shock People need to stop whinging about bonkers "not being bonkers anymore" because AATW will buy the rights to it.

AATW is a business - why would they have two exact same CDs? Not very beneficial to them is it. Why the hell would they make a CD exactly like the one theyve got?
