Please no, if it looks anything like that i think it will be the first bonkers i havent actually owned!
Triquatra
wow, someones missed all the hints over the past few weeks :P
squad-e and recon indeed rofl
Wilky
In a way bonkers having the number dropped is a good thing as the bonkers from 9 to 17 sound **** all like 1 to 8 with best of being a mixed bag.
new label = new rebrand = new bonkers
Triquatra
i wish bonkers 8 had an 8 on the spine so it fits in with the others

Doubt there will be a Bonkers Classic mix anyway, its only been a year or so hasnt it since the Best of.
Triquatra
i dont know if i can just outright say it - go find the other bonkers thread...:P
everybody knows that theres one person who pretty much has all the details on it, that person dropped a massive hint as to each of the DJ's....and it pretty much went unnoticed lol

apparently you were wrong? nobody confirmed or denied what you said
either way, it wont be squad-e or recon

Unless things have changed about in the last few moments of the album Scott Brown wont be a featured DJ on the next bonkers.

Understandable nothing is official as of yet so they just named it Bonkers. But could it be a re-branding maybe or?

LOL i can totally relate to you on the number thing rowan it bugs me to hell , althrough the resist re-release did have a number on it..
i dont think they shud drop the number & "re-start" the series, its to well known..

Totally agreed. Carry the series on with number 18. Not sure whether i'm looking forward to the release of this or not.
acidfluxxbass
i hope AATW dont restart the series..
and i think silver may have xD
scott brown also.. hes the obvious and regular one.
bonkers 18 ftw... they cant restart it.. i would attack their faces D:
not really..
Triquatra
im buzzed - with the AATW advertising beast behind this i really think it has a shot at getting #1 in the UK compilation charts, if clubland can get to number1, i dont see why AATW wont be able to push this to #1 as well! :)

Innit. Its about time all hardcore artists used AATW for the advertising tool it is and can be

The 'wn' will be 'Sy and Unknown' I reckon. Unkown aint a big enough name for AATW to give him his own disc.
Hixxy
Sharkey
Sy & Unknown
It wont be Darwin as he has been doing HU3

Dont I look like an idiot lol
I suppose with Scott Brown people would expect that. I dont know though, I just think AATW will be aiming at a broadermarket to what livewired will be aimed at, including the CXH and HTID fans
acidfluxxbass
S.B. if he were on there, would do the ol' start hardcore, end gabbah like he did on such mixes as the bonkers 13 one.
its true though, AATW arent gabber experts! styles & breeze - black magic is purrre evidence of that. but they will have to leave bonkers 18 to the DJ's on this if the want a productive decent compilation..
they're influence on the material would not help, but hinder the cd. though financially and marketing-wise, bonkers will prosper.
DarrenJ
well we havnt heard new scott brown in yonks except those few vinyls released in last few months that were soso... sure he has a few anthems up his sleave.
DJ-Intensity
His label Evolution has got some choons releasing.
whittle1
Unfortunatly, I think they will restart the series. I mean, alot of people who are into mainstream dance will think 'Bonkers 18! WTF! Where's the other 17, never heard of them!'
Triquatra
meh, i dont think so, bonkers has been right next to clubland albums in the charts, and seeing names like styles, hixxy, breeze etc etc will make them very familiar faces
even my mum knows what bonkers is :P

u know i never thought of that. but it is possible. i don't think they want to market this as "bonkers 18" with the possibility of giving 1-17 some free advertising as well. but even then they have to realize that if someone researches bonkers, they'll still be able to find 1-17, especially on amazon and ebay
and i'm kind of disappointed that it looks like they didn't do a B2B style like they have in the last 3 albums. i think it worked really well in those albums and they should continue it.
K6HLR
hmmmm don't see why their dropping the number! well just gona have to wait and see i hoped they havent F**KD it up Bonkers is legendary i was expecting hixxy on it as him and sharkey were the creators

Actually, I don't know about that... CXH5 didn't feature a single track by Sy, although Chris Unknown was still very present on all 3 cd's. Could this mean that only Unknown is under contract with AATW now?
Craig Switchback
After finding out the Bonkers 18 mix, I am disappointed. AATW have killed it, and that's all I'm saying. I think there will be a lot of people pissed off across various forums once the line up and track list is released.
Triquatra
you found out the bonkers 18 tracklist????
how? and share! lol
DJ-Intensity
More likely posted up on ush.net.
Craig Switchback
No not the tracklist. Just who's mixing it, and no I can't say. But as said, minus Sharkey - I'm really disappointed. I think a lot of folk will be.
acidfluxxbass
sigh...
squad-e and breeze..
DJ-Intensity
Me thinks Hixxy & Styles.
acidfluxxbass
well im 99% sure there will be no scott brown, no darwin, no gabber, no sy.. probably no unknown either..
hixxy
shakey
and squad-e maybe....
argh! AATW n*z*'s!!

Of course people on various boards will be angry and bitter once the new bonkers line-up and tracklist comes out! The only thing that doesn't make online Hardcore fans bitter is Hardcore Underground. :P Just wait 'til HU starts making money and becomes commercialised, that will be the end of all online hardcore hope! :P
CDJay
Not really; people seem to hold Bonkers 3 in high regard and AFAIK that was the highest selling one in the series. ( over 100,000 for sure )
The real problem is when decisions get made w/ money heavily prioritised over music ( and the scene is gone ).
I truly don't see that happening. In fact I'll wager that HU and associated parties are very unlikely to repeat the "mistakes" ( hey, it's interpretable, I doubt the people who own entire blocks of flats as result view them as such, lol ) of recent years as they've directly impacted us and those we admire.
As for Bonkers.... it's wait and see time. As usual I'm sure Sharkey's mix will be eminently to my taste, I'll be very suprised if there's much else for embittered cynics like me but who knows. Bonkers 17 was a genuine step in the right direction IMO, and it will be a shame if that isn't followed up by combining with the notable retail clout of AATW.

warped_candykid
I think they should continue on with the # series. Starting over would just kill everything the series we know stands for. I would have loved to had seen Dougal part of the project though, he was a forerunner in the series too.
Starstruck
Cant wait to hear Sharkeys mix,
I defintiely know theres a sharkey mix
hope theres a hixxy mix too!
latininxtc
i sure won't have a problem with Sharkey's mix. but I am concerned that Hixxy's mix will sound just like the stuff he has for Clubland.
This is one album that I will def wait to hear the samples. It's a shame that HU3 is the only compilation out there I trust to sound good without hearing samples!
Triquatra
hixxy's mixes have pretty much always been clubland worthy....so why be concerned? lol
Wilky
My ideal bonkers 18 would be:
Orbit 1 v Joey Riot
Sharkey v Marc Smith
Scott Brown v Evil Activities
with a Showtek hardstyle bonus mix
DJ-Intensity
Suggestion for the Bonkers 18 line up..
CD One Cube::Hard & Orbit1
CD Two Sharkey & Kev Energy
CD Three Scott Brown & Neophyte.
lozowen
theres already like 2 threads for "your ideal bonkers 18 lineup"...
im sure sharkey will not disapoint, but its a waiting game from here on in
Shades
imho even if they dropped the '18' it will always be regarded as 18 unless they rename the series starting from bonkers then the next is bonkers 2.....
that would be a shame but hey......
as long as sharkey is on one of the disc's i'll be buying it, sharkeys cd's are the only ones i cain anyway

withdraw the handbags ladies..
treetherealest
Sharkey's mix on 17 was his best yet. He is going in the right direction. If they restart the numbers, then that means there would be two Bonkers 2s....two Bonkers 3s...it seems they wouldn't do that. Unless they are just are completely greedy and don't want the old ones to sell because they don't make any money off of it, there is no reason they should restart the series.
I'm glad Brown won't be on it. His mixes used to be my favorite, but many of his more recent ones were very bland. I don't want to call him a "has been", but it seems he has devoled.
this-is-bonkers
i can relate to that tree
browns mix's used to be my fav too, the gabber blows my brain but recently his mix's have gotten samy...
bottom line is really a big shout to AATW
DO NOT RESTARD THE SERIES!! PICK IT UP WERE IT LEFT OFF!
it was ok doing it with HTID as their were only 2 of them...but bonkers is a WELL known & well respected series...it needs to carry on bring on BONKERS 18!!
Triquatra
hmmmmmm, seems to me that if they are restarting it.....i dont think they will keep the original bonkers logo...we shall have to see
FingazMc
IF they do restart it and do turn it into another Clubland or HTID wank pile of poo then i wont be buying it and wont bother with Bonkers again. But if im honest i cant see that happening. And with Sharkey 100% doing a cd at least we'll have something most of us will like.
acidfluxxbass
restarting the series will simply overwrite the legacy bonkers has had over the past 14 years. everything bonkers will have contributed to the scene, the high's, the low's, will be lost under a new legacy started by AATW..
i dunno bout you guys, but thats not something i want to happen.
iano
It will be terrible if the series gets a restart. It will be terrible if Hixxy is on it... also terrible if its got Breeze & Styles or Squad E & Recon each one of them are awful I would go as far as saying turn coats. Another thing, it will be terrible if Joey Riot or Dj Kurt are on it. With the crap Dougal as shit out of the studio recently it will be terrible if he is on it... Sadly I can keep going here. I still have hopes... however Im guessing I will be very saddened. For me HU3 is the only thing in hardcore im exited about, after that I might just jump on that Hardstyle bus, might come back but who cares when there is nothing to come back to. Its over by the looks of things in the Bonkers department.

Hardstyle, you's know's it

Come to think of it, no-one has suggested it will be just the two cd's. Ponder for a moment - only Hixxy & Sharkey like on Bonkers 1, hence why there is no number 18 in the title. Strong argument, no?
Triquatra
im confused, what are you saying....play.com says its going to be 3 cds lol

ive been thinking about it.
and i dont think that having a 4th cd of hardstyle would be a bad idea..
looks as though its only going to be a 3cd set - but still, hardstyle doesnt really get much press tbh, other than the more commericially avalible stuff that scooter pulled off on their album
do they even have a "bonkers" of hardstyle?

those scooter tracks are jumpstyle! The bluetonium albums are about it in a series i think! Id love to see hardstyle on bonkers as a bonus disk, even if was a one off and pitched up!
craigy, your making me all wet!
JustIncredible
Hardstyle is slow, repetitive and just generally boring. I'd hate to see it on any hardcore CD.
Gabber is much better.
FingazMc
Now im a BIG hardstyle fan, But no no no to hardstyle on a bonkers album. Theres so many Hardstyle compilations out there they dont need to put it on the longest running hardcore compilation.

**** there being a bonus hardstyle cd, cant stand the shit. Gabber for pussys. Bonkers is a hardcore album series!
Gonna blatantly be Hixxy, Sharkey and Unknown i reckon.....Not that special of a line up but could be worse

thats like godskitchen having a gabber cd
why would the flagship album of one genre decide to have a cd of a completely other genre!
maybe cds like rave nation but bonkers?

bonkers featuring a bit of gabber is okay. some light hardstyle aswell is okay, but 'bonus hardstyle cd'
o sod off.. its not bonus.. thats just the 3rd cd thats being made to look like an 'extra' to naive customers..

yeah i always thought the whole adding "bonus cd" to things was a bit daft - i think it would be more bonus if you had to actually send off for the "bonus" cd at least then it would feel like you are getting somthing extra..

can we get back on track on here please! (I feel like a teacher) anyway as it looks like a Hixxy, Sharkey and Unknown album, Do you think DJ 1 and 3 will actually play some decent stuff or the usual label stuff?

I imagine Hixxy can play some great stuff if he wants to. We all know who can, he just hasn't as of late. Even his previous Bonkers mixes have pushed the Bonkers level of "commercialism." I hope his disc is the most commercial of the 3, it suits him, but with 100% hardcore tracks and not remixes or samples of pop songs, that stuff bugs me.
As for Unknown... uh. Whatever.

Hixxy isn't even that much of a pop remix whore these days, considering only 5 out of the 19 tracks on his CXH5 disc were pop remixes/covers/references. I mean Clubland is THE pop-core outlet, but still he manages to get us 14 original 100% Hardcore productions to enjoy through it. I don't understand how Happy Hardcore enthusiasts can totally overlook tracks like Deep In The Night, No 1, Face In The Crowd, Now That I Found You, MDMA, Zamboocan & such... All proper Happy Hardcore to me, with addictive and nicely written melodies.
About his hypothetical Bonkers(18) disc, I'm pretty sure it would, like his previous Bonkers mixes, feature a good variety of other artists, most of them being from the RBC camp of course. Isn't that understandable though? Didn't the much praised Sharkey & Kevin Energy CD on Bonkers 17 contain mostly N.E.C. stuff?

CD1 - mixed by Squad-E

CD3 - Bonkers classics mixed by Sharkey
Please no, if it looks anything like that i think it will be the first bonkers i havent actually owned!
Sharkey has already done a Bonkers classic mix on Best of Bonkers (although a few tunes wern't on Bonkers)
acidfluxxbass
i think hixxy's music has gotten caught in the past and thus his music is very mellow and not quite up to the production standards of darwin, brisk/ham, al storm and the prospering dj's like orbit1 and jakazid. hixxy's name is a legend and is well known. but i think that this is the main basis of his popularity. he's better known to the new hardcore people who know the genre so well. his musics easier to find and because they are basic remixs of pop or whatever, they like them. i expect hixxy's tunes in bonkers will be very few and far between and even so following a fairly dated style.
i expect that other producer's like darwin, al storm etc will prosper from having a track on there along with the better access to the raving community thanks to AATW. i only hope that neither hixxy, DS, squad-e & breeze feature too much..
if it's left to them to make a hardcore cd, just because they're signed to aatw, then we may be disappointed.

They do Clubland so it will be silly if they do Bonkers as well or have the same tunes on Bonekrs. Remember AATW want to make money & arn't going to do that with two compilations with 3 CDs & the same tracks on each one!

that's not what i'm saying at all..
what would you expect if we leave it to re-con and D.S. to mix the other 2 cd's?

that is exactly the reason y they would do it!
i don't mean that they would both have the exact same tracks, but the similar commercialized sound of hardcore.
Even though Sharkey will be on this new Bonkers, I would not be surprised at all if they put in a decent amount of CXH flavor just to get a few more of these into the hands of the masses

This has got to be it:
CD 1: ??? (Poss Hixxy?)

about Scott Brown not on Bonkers: isn't there some sort of personal feud going on between him and Hixxy?
i thought i read it somewhere on here that in the Livewired DVD there's a clip of a Hixxy interview saying something like "I'm making the real hardcore music of today, and Scott Brown's making the other crap" i might be embellishing a bit but it sounded something to that extent
i always thought that's the reason why he wasn't involved with this bonkers
Wilky
I got the livewired dvd and hixxy dusnt say owt like that, infact he has a laugh, like everyone else
acidfluxxbass
hixxy's a top fella. he would slag off other artists apart from himself :P
however, since we have two AATW signed dj's mixing bonkers, who'd be the third? DS? Breeze? Hixxy?

I never said they wasn't repetitive. And like someone else said a hardcore track can change a lot throughout it's duration.
Maybe because hardstyle is slower you notice it more, it just seems the same all the way through a song.
But I respect that people like it, I'm just giving my opinion.

I know already :) I think he made perfect use of the melody too, the way he turned it into a most uplifting piece of happiness is great. Use of pop melodies in HHC goes way back, like DJ Vibes - Techno Wonderland using the melody of Elvis - Can't Help Falling In Love.

Yeah, totally. That's why I don't hate pop-core so much. In fact pop-core is catchy and shit and gets a lot of people moving, which is why I enjoy Clubland. At the same time, it should stay on Clubland and not infiltrate Bonkers, although I'm sure it somehow will.

I totally agree with this, although the way I see it, Happy Hardcore in its entirety has always been the pop-core of all the different Hardcore styles. Let it be remixes of actual pop songs or just sugary pop-ish melodies like most anthems out there, it's the pop of the Hardcore family because it's the most 'easy-listening' music of them all. Most people fall in love with Happy Hardcore really fast and then get tired of it very quickly, unlike other genres like electro or progressive house where the taste takes much longer to develop.
I think it would really suck if all the uplifting cheesiness represented by the big RBC names that everybody and their mom are slating in this thread would listen to the whiners around here, quit Hardcore and leave us with only freeformish, more-hardcore-than-thou producers. But you know what, it won't happen because the simple cheese will always be more popular than the more intricate and less catchy hardcore.

clubland is so much different... some may see the different some may not. its like white noise.. it'll all seem the same to you..
clubland and bonkers merged on the cover is exactly what i feared. bonkers has lost its individuality. how can they buy a bonkers brand name and then restart the series and include clubland on the cover? defeats the object!
if thats their idea, why didnt they leave the bonkers brand name, not buy it and start a new one called 'chaos'? that'd leave bonkers dead with some dignity!

actually start it at 14 cuz CD1 on 13 was an old school mix and def not clublandy at all. and cd1 on 15 may be an exception as well. u can easily notice the difference in styles from that 1 and the first CXH
and also, dougal and gammers, not clublandy at all. only about 3 of those song on that album resemble the style, but other than that no.

I don't believe it. They can't be that stupid. Plus we have already seen the product info on websites as "Bonkers," so I think it's just someone spreading crap to get everyone worried.
It could be done in the format as "The Makers Of Clubland X-Treme: Hardcore are Proud to Present: BONKERS" Kinda like the Slammin' Vinyl Presents: Hardcore Heaven.

Well I can imagine they will use that for advertising, but hardly for a title.

Exactly why it will be on the title/cover.. Dont forget the main and sole reason why aatw are involved in hardcore and it isnt coz they love it is it now?
Triquatra
to be fair - AATW obviously see money first...but they have been going since the very early 90's so im sure there are some moral fibres left in them lol
if it wasnt for clubland, there really wouldnt be a huge outlet for this style of dance music..for those who like cascada stuff they are providing a service that happens to make lots of money for them, i dont think its all that bad

i'd prefer small outlet and no cascada.

I also don't mind Cascada, anything Manian touches wither it's his own music, Cascada, or Tune Up! is pure gold, but it doesn't belong on Bonkers. I don't mind it on Clubland because I'm expecting it to be that way, but it's a different story with Bonkers which has always been mainly original hardcore tracks and not pop remixes.

Thats my main fear with AATW taking over, it might move from the Hardcore & towards the popcore which is really what Clubland is for! It would be silly to have both Clubland & Bonkers with the same remixes of dance tunes! Who knows AATW might doa very good job with it (at least if they bring in Sharkey & Scott Brown then they could do something good with it) Not sure abut Hixxy as he does both Clubland & Bonkers!

yeeeeaaa, but basshunter wouldnt mix a hardcore cd...
and it would have remixes of cascada, blackoutcrew and other clubland tracks...paul oakenfold/PVD and FBS arent big enough names in the clubland side of the dance scene to warrent putting them on it to sell it
Sulphurik
I would have liked the series to continue the way it has done. Having the different themed covers and calling it Bonkers 18 but I guess AATW are the new owners for the album so they can do what they want.
As for Hixxy being asked to do a classic mix. Surely he himself can have input and decide what sort of mix he wants to do. I don't see why he couldn't have done a mix with new and forthcoming tunes. I know there's the HTID vol 2 and Xtreme Hardcore 6 albums that Hixxy will feature on but I would have thought a mix for Bonkers would have been the priority as it's the biggest and most well known hardcore album series.
Triquatra
he doesnt actually say its a "classics" mix as such...
the video was recorded on Saturday 28th March 2009 as it says "Ravers Reunited TV catches up with the B.O.S.S. Of Hardcore, the legend that is Hixxy, at event 11"
"myself havin a mix of sorta older stuff they've asked me to do, like 2000 upwards, chris unknown's doing brand new stuff and obviously sharkey's doin brand new stuff, then we got hardcore til i die album...volume 2..ish..of the new series, if that makes sense..thats going to be august..recon and squad-e again they've asked me to do a cd on that..but im not 100% sure on that, im a bit..i dunno yet...and then clubland as usual at the end of the year"
so yeah just "older" stuff, doesnt have to be "classics" if you can call much music between 2000 and now classic..
Sulphurik
Yes did mean to say a classics mix from 2000 onwards.
Triquatra
mmm, just saying though, even though he's doing stuff from 2000+ that doesnt have to mean its just going to be "classics"...plenty of other stuff that he could be playing even if its just RB/JB stuff that didnt make it as huge as "you're shining"

What is wrong with AATW? Isn't this the same lable that released an actual Rankin track? If so, this lable is just full of being totally disrespectful to fans of hardcore. So once they start Bonkers over, there will be two different versions of Bonkers volume 2, volume 3, etc. Why start over and change the style of the covers? There is no reason to do so except for personal interests of AATW. I can't imagine they pressure they might be putting on the artists to pick tracks that will make the album sell more if they are already going to these lengths. I'm surprised they are even using the name "BONKERS" being that they want to change everything about it. They just know that will get them the original BONKERS fans to buy the album. Who knows how the music will be. Maybe the music will be good and it will be a great album, but it is obvious that AATW doesn't mind pissing all over tradition for no real apparent reason. I would like them to explain their reasoning on why they are restarting the series and also changing the style. I'm sure it's just $$$.
Triquatra
write them an email - we would all be interested as to how they respond to your questions... [email protected]
treetherealest
I don't see why Bonkers has to start over when certain series like Tunnel Trance Force has made it to around 50....and Super Eurobeat is in the 100s. Can anybody recall any other music series that were restarted?? Maybe there are some, but I can't personally think of any?????
Triquatra
Hardcore Heaven, it had gotten to volume 5 in 1999, then was restarted when they started making new ones, then was restarted again when it was bought out by Resist (react)
Hardcore Til I Die also, when that was bought out by AATW
the reason they do it is because the company usually feels they can breathe new life into it.

mmmm maybe, but they arent a stupid company, they were around when real old skool was the new thing... an awfully long time...
they were the guys who released N-trance's old stuff back in 1992 "set you free" etc etc
Oh god another tarted up slapper on the cover of bonkers im assuming?
And restarting the series is ****ing idiotic imo. Bonkers is like a legacy to hardcore when hardcore goes back underground (in 3 years with NEC and Lethel theory at the helm i think) this could kill bonkers. If it ends up as another CLXH pile of wank stain shite then i wont be buying it. Actually i probably will aslong as sharkey still has a disc lol.
But either way im drunk and im pissed off!!!!
whittle1
Restarting the series and even cutting out a theme completely so some chavy girl is on the front? NONONO this is ****ing disgraceful. But remember, the main blame doesn't go on AATW, it goes on the money hungry dj's who aren't passionate enough for the industry to keep a tradition running. **** them, take your cheque and run.

Hixxy and Unknown have never had a mix that blew me away. I don't think they are bad by any means, but nothing that is super great. Sharkey seems like the only possible savior for this release...but you never know. I would rather it be Unknown than Brown. Brown's latest mixes don't amaze me like the old ones did.

Innit. They're just chock full of all of his tracks with some gabber to finish off. But you have to admit they are nowhere near as boring and half-assed as hixxy's mixes.
quote:Originally posted by C Cell:

Scott Brown's mixes from Bonkers 9 to 12 followed that structure and it worked perfectly. All these mixes were full of great Evolution stuff and other good varied stuff, plus the gabber at the end of these albums is about the only gabber I really can enjoy. ever.
I gotta agree though, everything after these albums wasn't hitting as hard.
Excalibur
IMHO pairing up with Gammer was the best thing they did to Brown (Neophyte was also nice but I didn't need Bonkers to do an all Gabber just felt too gimmicky for me). Scott Brown and Marc Smith though just felt like Scott took a back seat and let Marc handle the entire mix himself.
Triquatra
haaaaaaaa, i totally started to whip up a cover in photoshop but havent finished it yet, you guys beat me to it!
Sulphurik
Despite Scott's mixes before Bonkers 15 mainly containing his own tunes, they still had a great mixture of styles. Still would have preferred a mix from Scott than Unknown but will be interesting to see what will feature on it.
I'm not sure about Scott's mixes after Bonkers 12, not hitting as hard. The others were still very good mixes (especially 13 & 16, 17) but there were some elements of a few didn't like as much.
I wouldn't say Hixxy's mixes were boring. The ones from the recent albums have been good. 11 & 12 were excellent.

bonkers got me into hardcore compilations.
looks like AATW are killing the nu-label of bonkers.
However i love hixxy mixes and quosh is a favourite label of mine so hope unknown will bring something to the new release of bonkers. . . if the post on happyhardcore was correct about unknown obviously :s
i hope its not gonna be a clubland xtreme mirror image. i like the clubland xtreme series but bonkers should be different...and requires a mixset by hixxy sharkey and scott brown as standard. if a 4th cd is involved then we al lknow it belongs to sy or dougal & gammer.
guess we'll see.
and as for the themes...bonkers was bonkers because of the themes, i love bonkers 4 football theme, and bonkers 11 matrix stylee theme. a girl in a bra on the front is boring, and a carbon copy of clubland xtreme. Het, AATW, be original, i know its hard, but really ! ! !

Yep saw that myself, quite interesting the naming, PERHAPS the release date is not what play is saying and they mixed it up but the title should be the same.

i heard Hixxy say that the djs are Hixxy, Sharkey & Chris Unknown
and back to the release dates and dizzy rascal - yes, could be the same and a mistake, but looks like the way things are released in the UK comes down to days of the week, like america..
also, unscientifically - every time a bonkers is released, something majoyly big/significant happens in my life somewhere one or two weeks either side of the release date, has done on every single bonkers release..

i wont go into too much detail, some of its crappy memorys
Bonkers 8: 15-Jul-02 - Dad Died
Bonkers 9: 04-Nov-02 - Got Married
Bonkers X: 05-May-03 - Moved To America
Bonkers XI: 07-Nov-03 - Started Work (guitar center)
Bonkers 12: 12-Apr-04 - Split With Ex + Left Job
Bonkers 13: 25-Oct-04 - Started Work (Firedog)
Bonkers 14: 30-May-05 - Started Relationship
Bonkers 15: 05-Dec-05 - Officially Divorced
Bonkers 16: 10-Jul-06 - Ended Relationship
Best of : 15-Jan-07 - *edit* (wont go into that, but that was major)
Bonkers 17: 29-Oct-07 - Moved back to UK because of Best of Bonkers
i will add the precise dates of when the events happened when i get home, i dont want to get any dates wrong..but for the second, take my word, they all happened within a month of bonkers getting release (date listed)
interestingly enough it wasnt until about Best of Bonkers that i finally was able to overcome what sent me over the edge/screwed me up around about Bonkers 8 which set off a massive chain reaction as to what happened for each of the following bonkers...if you had told me before bonkers 8 was released that i would be living in america and married i would have been on the floor laughing my ass off.. i guess some things we dont get over though.
maybe tonight when everything is dark i'll go back over the older bonkers and see if anything correlates, im sure other people can do this too..
but clearly
Bonkers 18....and i get married on May 9th... :P
**edit** changed final to Best of Bonkers, original post was mixed up because i saw a 15 there, as the release date, so i just thought huh, bonkers 15, but definatly not, it was Best of Bonkers.

Spoke to Hixxy last night @ HTID (he was on the doors for some odd reason collecting cloaks) I asked him if the new Bonkers would please the fans and these were his words: 'sometimes you have to comprimise when the label goes commericial, Bonkers isn't up to us now, it's a commercial company.' And seriously, I've been to a few raves this past month and you can tell what will probably be on the album; these include remixes of King's Of Leon, Toca's miracle and System F's Cry to name a few (some may appear on the next HTID though). Just what you'd expect, so many of you guys will not be pleased :(

hardcore underground can def fill the void nicely! i do remember CDJay or someone else involved in the project saying that they already had enough material to do a 4th one soon yay! and HA seems to be completely gone! or maybe they're trying to figure out what they went wrong on the last one and try and get it right this time. let's also not forget about hardcore generation.
but I won't worry because something new will emerge, just like CXH came out, then HA, then true hardcore, and others. If this bonkers will end up truly sucking, then I know that there will be a response to it by the emergence of a compilation, or more, giving us the true essence of hardcore. personally i'd like to see djs/producers from Australia, and the US, emerge with a compilation.

I can't imagine Bonkers being full of the commercial rip-off stuff when it comes out! It wouldn't make sense! AATW know the brand name is more for the true hardcore punters and not for the 15 old chavs that buy their albums, They will have to advertise it like all their albums, and to have an album called "Bonkers" to people who don't know what the name means in hardcore terms just doesn't add up. But if it is "poo" then we still have Hardcore Underground, and Nukleuz last 2 Hardcore Nations have been a lot better and also don't forget Hardcore Re-United 3 is still in the making!

Chris Unknown said this:
"As for bonkers, i havent seen the artwork but i think the cartoon things are going, i'm not too fussed about that as i always felt that was a little condesending to ravers implying they are all kids if you know what i mean, but times move on and we should all embrace change with open arms!! :-)
I haven't heard sharkeys mix but i'm sure it will be his usual freeform stuff can't see how it won't be, the best thing about AATW is they leave you to do your mix they dont interfear at all, i had a free reign to use whatever i wanted to they had no input so i presume it would be the same with sharkey. I dont know why people are worried about AATW, they are a small company who really do connect with the priciple of hardcore as oppossed to some of the bigger companies who are just trying to make a quick buck. All they do is put a good budget behind it to help branch out to people who dont know about hardcore and get them interested in it, i cant see how that is a bad thing. The more people that get into hardcore, the stronger the scene becomes etc etc.
But hey we all have our own opinion."

not necessarily. if hixxy had the 100% CXH mentality and AATW wanted him to revert back to his Bonkers year and having a more variety of talent rather than doing a mix of all his crap, then I can see that as upsetting to him. but who knows.
