Future_Shock
It's a shame for the hardcore scene, and to everyone involved.
If it wasn't for impact, i wouldn't be the same producer i am today. Early on when i first started producing, when my material was still outrageously pathetic, i remember (on ehcild i think it was) i sent him a pm to check out some of my tracks. I wasn't even expecting a response, let alone what i received.
God knows what was going through his mind, but he saw SOME sort of potential in something i'd written and invited me into his studio for a day. Blown away obviously, i accepted and we set up a date.
To this day, i have never learnt so much more about music production as i did that day in Rory's studio. He sat down and engineered one of my tracks, show me how he did everything, and gave me an incredible amount of information to take in.
Since that day - some 2 - 3 years ago, Rory has been there for me whenever i had questions, when i was struggling wtih something, and even on bad days he'd take my calls and bring my back to level - even if it took an hour conversation... whether he was at home, in the middle of dinner, or whether he was at work - he always had time, or made time, to help me out or to make sure i was okay.
He also set me up with contacts, found me vocalists, let me record in his studio and gave me advice on everything production-related known to man.
The past couple of years he's been an idol, a mentor and a friend to me through even the wrost of times. I'm incredibly appreciative of the time and effort he spent wtih me, and i'm posting this so everyone who didn't have the pleasure of knowing Rory, can understand what kind of person he was.
Sound dj, awsome producer, great guy.
Yep, Rory was good jam.
bulby_g
Definitely a shame to loose impact. :( Done some great tunes over the years and will be missed.
Would love to know if he is doing other music under a different name?
SPOOX
I've always been a fan of Impact. Top choons. Top producer. Pretty gutted to hear he's leaving the scene. Fingers crossed for a return sometime in the future.
DJ-Intensity
Impact is a fantastic DJ I am so sad to see him leave the core scene I'll never forget his tunes he produced.
Thanks Rory for the mix.
Quicksilver
What??? Nooo! He should go read my Impact-appreciation thread and get back. :(
Damn, really sad to hear!
Hirschi
Man, that's just not fair!! Hope this is just a break from HHC to regain his pasion and not a total resignment...

PS: LOVE the mix! Thx and good luck! cYr

Ominously that was with Impact called Guiding Light.

that farewell mix is filled with awesomeness, its sad to think it's the end...
Ken Masters
Damn, Damn, Damn! I promised myself I wouldn't cry!
Thanks for everything you've given to the scene mate. You've taught me a lot even though i've never met you. Hopefully we'll see a come back sometime but I wont hold my breathe.
Seeing these legends give up the scene, well, whats the script here? Is there something that we small members aren't being told. Are things getting that bad? Theres no way a producer who's love for the music as big as Impact, Fade & Demo, would just turn their backs & leave for good. It's impossible! I think these guys have been shunned out the lime light & have found it hard to appreciate this commercial era that we live in.
As Rory says, it was never what they intended. Ok to make a buck here & there & keep living, thats acceptable but the money involved, for the big names in hardcore, is unreal. They're so greedy that they've forgotten what its all about!
Tunes get churned out these days just to fill CD's & meat demands but IMO 10% of these tracks are worth a second listen.
Damn, am I having second thoughts aswell? *slaps face*..............No!
Mako
Is this true, or is this another Orbit1 hoax? :(
Samination
I wish Guiding Light would be released digitally or on CD soon :(

anyways, nowadays when I look back at his stuff, they didn't sound that good (unless it was with brisk or ham). The only tracks I can say I liked was Wizardry and The Vortex
Rayovac
What??!
Are you sure this isn't just another unfounded rumor like what happened with orbit1?

either silver's pulling an early april fools day, or Rory Impact actually made that statement
Triquatra
well, i wish him all the best - of course its his right to leave and it doesnt make him a traitor or anything like that. when its time to move on, its time to move on
best of luck to whatever he does next :)
Funky Technician is still one of my favs

still don't know how I could have missed the original mix :(
Not that's Eufeion's (?) older remix of it is bad, but the original is as good as scott brown originals, they do not need any remixes

The way its going were just gonna be left with hixxy styles & breeze its a shame people are quitting but i spose what can you do! :(

actually, if you checked all the Future Dance Digitals, it seems like the updater, mad_max_83, just added a generic date on them all. Propably based on the dates from HardBeatStore, but the tracks existed long before that on the old Nu Energy site.
going to update those i can
DJ-Intensity
Guiding Light is a stunning tune.
Rayovac
So he really did quit.
kdf
this really is quite savage listening to the mix he is such a great producer
i remember as i first started to mix hardcore i found 'runaway' and thought to myself what a little beauty of a track and it just spurned me onto find more from impact
am loving his new release, especially on my own
its a shame but if thats how he feels then fair play to him
Tha Kid Vicious
Oh, man... I seriously think I might cry over this one...
Goodbye Mr. Impact. Good luck to you, mate... YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY, MANY FOLKS! :(
Sincerely,
Sean
DJ-Intensity
Six tunes which I liked from Impact
1 Back In The Days
2 Phat As Fu*k
3 All My Life Weaver Remix
4 Worlds Apart FBI
5 Dancing With An Angel
6 Addiction
There are others I like but I am gonna leave it at six.
Mr igloo
Wow, this is quite devastating... Such a great producer and DJ, I wish the best for him in the future and that maybe he will have a change of heart to come back someday.

sad to see him go, but lets face it, 10 years of hardcore and then change? let him try to make money in another form of dance music! it won't work! I'm amazed how these DJ's (producers) suddenly change! How can Impact do hardcore for 10 years, then "not feel the vibe" ect! hes pissed off because of money!
DJ-Hutchy
I think that IMPACT was and will always be an absolute legend in the scene!!
BIG UP "IMPACT" FOR LOVING, WRITING & BANGING OUT THE HARDCORE, THE WAY THAT RORY DID..
Will be sadly missed

Roberticus
This is indeed sad news... :(
But if he wants to go on, then it is his right to go on :)
Some of my favorite HHC tracks come from Impact (like Someday and Sunlight), I hope to see releases from him again in the future! :)

impact is headlining!! wohoo!!
i also saw him in toronto about a year ago, so needless to say this party in january will be worth the 6 hour road trip.
this just makes it that much more awesome now i guess, because i'm assuming this'll be his last north american appearance
that was two years ago bro. this year it's elixer from toronto.
Vitalism
Err... I feel really dumb for saying that now. Ahahaha!
TypeR
don't feel dumb bro, it was just a mistake.
here is the video from winter massif 2k7 where impact headlined. the place was going apeshit!
part 1.
part 2.
that's me playing an oldskool hard house set at the beginning of part 2
TypeR
one of my most favorite tunes is an impact song, someday both remixes, but the original one is best imo that and summer sun by impact and inverse.
choons
sorry for the edit
but sunlight is a chooooon as well.

I remember when Impact played at Candyball. Was an amazing set <333
Just an incredible producer and dj, and been in the scene for so long. He wrote so many diverse tunes, such a talented guy. Thanks!!!
Deverse
Just listened to his mix, I miss his oldschool tunes!
Anyways anyone know if Impact had ever played at HTID?

Shame tbh...really enjoyed some of his tunes. Not keen on his freeform work, i think he got bored of his usual style of tracks so tried something different, but just didn't work for me. Downloading the mix now :)

It's not ALL about the money.
You've got to be stupidly naive if you think that, when you do something as a profession, money doesn't play a part - it does, in a completely not shallow way... You need to pay bills, and you need to put food on the table.
But it definitely goes a lot deeper than money in this case as i've had many discussions about these sort of things with Rory before.
Nobody should think he is turning his back on the scene just because it has little money in it. It's had little money for a long time and he kept with it - but like it's been said - he's given us 10 years of selflessness - it's his prerogative to move on.

geesh, your post is just like Wilky's on the CLSM Australia thread.
And if you had read Fade's farewell notice, you can clearly see it was meant against the top tier dj's, not towards the little money the other artists makes

Has to be said im gutted to hear impact has quit :(
loved most of his tunes, especially sunrise & someday. i remember when he was live on hardcoreunited/hardcorerevolution and i always nagged for those tracks when they were still unreleased

I think he'll move on to trance... If you've lost your passion for something why continue.
