I collected every EVO on vinyl, and still play vinyl sets.

I got 3 copies of Forever Yours because the 2 first ones had the same pressing error...

I'm slowly going through and buying the bits I want from Evolution. Believe it or not I only had 5 things from his label until about a month ago. I was hoping he would do a back catalogue so was waiting on it for years, But whilst were on the topic of Scott Brown Releasing music
Dear Mr Brown.
Please Release Gammer Featuring Compulsion - The Call digitally with all it's remixes and the original call audio?
Thanks.

I have that on vinyl. I remember getting the White label promo back in 2006.
If you're going through Evo releases then check 30-39. They are my favourites.

That's because Beatport (I'd say, finally!) changed the genre tags.
So now, what once used to be "Hard Dance", is "Hard Dance / Hardcore" (since all the UK/Happy Hardcore labels were releasing their music under the "Hard Dance" genre), and what used to be "Hard Techno / Hardcore" is now just "Hard Techno".
Labels (and distributors) now have to amend to that change.

I actually really like this. Very fresh but still uplifting and fast.

Is a Hardstyle type riff. Which sounds way fresher than the old dated Hard Trance sounds.
To me Techknikore must be doing something right. The guy just got over a million plays on spotify for one of his newer tracks. This sounds like a quality collaboration.

Yes. I know what type of riff it is. It's not really my thing. Hence why I don't bother with 90% of UK Hardcore anymore. However, I still like the odd track with that Hardstyle sounding lead, but it all depends what the arrangement of the lead is.
Nobody is disputing that they are doing something right. Both quality, well established producers that still resonate with music listeners.

Did Scott loose the masters/DAT for Chase. He has uploaded Do Not Attempt but still no Chase. As much as I like Back and Forth. Chase is the better Brisk Collab

No way he could clear (or afford) the sample so he just didn't bother adding it.

Scott's harder tracks, there have been a mixed bag of tracks.
Tracks I do like include, Blow ya to pieces, Live Forever, Dawn of time, Bass be louder, King of the beats, Ghosts, Atone, Self Destruction (Scott Brown Mix), Rock Tha House, Turn the bass up, hold the beat back, Boomstick, This One's For All of Us, You Have To Let It All Go. Was You Have To Let It All Go released?
Did listen to some of Bonkers 15 track but didn't like them as much now as before including We Don't Stop & I'll get you. Still liking Fasten your seatbelt & this is how we do it hardcore mix.

I'm most familar with the original, 2001 mix and Hixxy & Trixxy remix.
Think it's hard to beat the original.
I like the sound of the 2001 update.
Haven't heard Scott Brown's 96 remix until very recently, I do like what he did do that remix! Nice variation in the melodies!
I like all the remixes in this release.
Fav remix by another artist of the track - Hixxy & Trixxy one.
Si Thompson
I liked this one.
Nu Foundation - Hardcore Generation is very similar in terms of riffs.
LeVzi
I could not stand the hixxy and trixxy remix, too cheesy.
Brisks was alright, better energy
Seductions was a stomper, I liked that tbh, more musical imo.
Any of the modern remixes are ****ing awful. It's one track that doesn't translate into UK Hardcore.
tbh the kick in the original, and when the track is pitched up, fk that's a rush hard to beat.

I actually forgot about that. 2001 is hanging onto the 90's vibe best it can, before the UK hardcore crossover, and it works. Original is still my fav, but this is probably the best remix. Although the breaks remix wasn't bad either now I think about it
Si Thompson
This track is proper underrated.
Really liked the dark/emotional vibe with some of the tracks from EVO 39-48.

Since everyone is getting crazy making mixes due to Scott Brown is doing a contest. I decided to drop several tunes that I loved since... a long time. Mostly featured on Dancemania SPEED compilations, several rhythm games like beatmaniaIIDX and Cytus and some obscure and (re)fresh anthems that I adore.
Yeah I saw the contest he's running. Pretty cool imo.
Si Thompson
This was excellent. I remember it being one of the first tracks that came out around the time Scott returned to making/releasing Hardcore after the 2012 hiatus. So 2013.
My sort of Gabba.

So as it?s a Scott Brown evolution records thread I thought I would give my views,
The guy was untouchable between 97-2004 ish, every track was pretty much bang on and he was the best hardcore producer for a good couple of years.
BUT ..... what has happened to him, his sound doesn?t seem to have progressed and his tracks all sound dated, this is just my personal opinion and I?m sure some of you will agree and some will not.
But what are his biggest tracks over the last few years?
I?ve not really kept track of his label as I?m just not feeling his stuff like I was back in the day.

I hear ya, Gaz. I have supported Scott's work for 21 years. I'm not feeling most of the new stuff anymore either, a lot of it is not even by Scott, but by other artists. I much preferred the old bouncy sound with trance influenced UK Hardcore leads and a big kick.
Between 1999-2006 Scott was well ahead of his time. I think he may have hit a brick wall creatively. I would be happy for him to go back to bouncy stuff with stabs and even bring some breakbeats back.
Si Thompson
I would say these are my favourite Scott Brown tracks from the last 6 years or so.
Sulphurik
Energized would be one recent track from Scott Brown really liked, others are Give me fire, This is forever, Into the blue and Plus System - Ride My Camel.

I first got into hardcore around 2002 when bonkers 9 came out. Scott Brown was the best and most consistent producer at this time but I agree with you - his sound going into 2005 became very bland and from there on I stopped paying attention to what he was doing - especially seeing as there was so much good music from kids of other producers around that time. There was the odd exception (I seem to remember his bonkers 16 mix with Gammer being pretty decent). Did Scott take quite a lengthy break from producing around 2008?
His comeback in 2013 was pretty strong and he made some great tunes which stuck out more seeing as the rest of the scene was going to shit.
He will always be a legend though, immense back catalogue of classics. My favourites looking back are probably rock you softly and bring me round to love remix, but there are so many to mention and loads of which have been mentioned on this thread.
LeVzi
Scott was ahead of the game from the beginning. His tracks got cained everywhere. He set trends in the bouncy techno scene that still are huge now. Evolution records is probably my favourite label.
Some of his tracks in the mid 90's were perfection, they had a very hardcore element to them but were incredibly melodic and uplifting.
Q Tex at big bang were AWESOME tbh
Although he's better off the mic !!! And that set just gives me sweet memories of how fking sexy Gillian Tennant is.

One thing I also think didn?t help Scott is when it all got political and I?m sure he wouldn?t let his live sets go on the cd packs and this went on for a good few years, DJ sy would always play the latest Scott brown tracks in his sets as would 90 per cent of other hardcore DJs, I have also spoken to sy as even though he doesn?t play any new hardcore he does still get sent new stuff from certain people and Scott brown was one of them and even sy said he isn?t feeling any of his recent material,
But the stuff he made when is was in his prime 98- 2004 ish was way ahead of its time and I would sooner listen to a back catalogue evolution records Scott brown set than a upfront hardcore set these days,
If only he could get the scene rocking again with decent new music as it all seems to be classic sets these days and people who I don?t really rate making upfront hardcore.
Let?s get Scott to get the scene thriving again and make some decent tracks like modern day pilgrim, lost generation type hardcore

Ironically I put a bunch of stuff from Evolution on my phone to listen to in my car yesterday, and everything is pre 97 and tbh what a feel good feeling I got.
The music was awesome, so much energy, so much "music" in it.
I'll put more on soon, and more from that era.
Bouncy Techno all the way.

Seems Scott brown productions have ground to a complete halt for a couple of years now. It kinda reminds me of when he went quiet during the dubcore debacle (which we have never recovered from) whereas the current debacle is 160 BPM. Sadly this time however, HU has decided to be part of the problem.

Im not sure if you mean if that sing is from 2002 - 03, if it is then no its from a couple of years ago.
I meant it takes influences from his 2002-2003 stuff

I remember playing this on white label promo at an outdoor party in 2006.

Some good tracks came out on this sub-label of Evolution Records.

Didn't pass on that one, or that entire label for that matter...
Seems Things are just a matter of patience with Evolution these days, but that doesn't go without saying that I'm still greatful for Scott getting as much of it online as possible.
As far as Gold goes, those are trickling in too as part of the "Evolution Legacy Collection..." I think I'm caught up on those, and there only appears to be a little more than a dozen of them at the moment.

I have pretty much all of the Evolution Gold releases on vinyl, so I would welcome those on digital also.

I messaged scott brown on his fan page a few days ago and he hasnt replied, so I will ask here.
There's 2 mixes of the track "taking drugs", I cant find the one that isnt released anywhere, I know its on an album , just cant remember which one.
Any ideas ?

*Edit*
I found it at last, it;s on the hardwired vol 1 mix. I prefer that version of taking drugs to the other mix.

Its on thee first hardwired album, I found it yesterday.
It just hasnt been released. I knew it existed. Superior to the other mix.
Its on this mix at the 50 minute mark. I doubt it will ever be released.

This was underplayed. Quality tune.
I can only recall Seduction playing it @ Helter Skelter 'Nightlife' in May 1999.

This is a tune

The reason Scott Brown has not been producing much is is he is not signed to any Hardcore albums at the moment.
Every time he was asked to do a say a Bonkers or Hardcore Heaven etc... That is when he would start producing.
If he was asked to do say the next Hardcore Heaven. 100% he would be back in the studio.
The mix albums promote his tracks and always increase track sales by a huge margin.

The last Bonkers was released in 2009. When was the last Hardcore Heaven released?
I don't agree with your theory, apart from tracks on compilations generating more sales for singles.
However, There's hardly any money in Hardcore digital sales, as nearly all of the releases get leaked.
Samination
I agree with Si. Scott Brown has released a bunch of tracks digitally during the time he wasn't present on any albums. And like I wrote earlier, he had been busy getting his old stuff digitally re-recorded from DATs.
Si: He's been on more albums since then. He did the 2rd Hardcore Heaven album from the latest iteration (the Slammin vinyl vs Hardcore Underground series), which was in 2017-28. He also made a mix on a recent album with Scar, but that album contains nothing new by himself, but a bunch of new remixes from his label.

How has it been for you? I hope your families have been safe and well throughout the pandemic.
Things have been good on my side. No covid cases, everyone healthy and observing social distancing like everyone should. It's not ideal, but it could save you life. Just put the mask on your face and don't complain.
From a production point of view, I've ground to a halt. Partly because there's no events to play at and partly because I'm upgrading the studio (which is never fun but will be ready very soon).
I'm really looking forward to getting back in action in the near future, so stay tuned!
On a personal note, my little cat Errol has been diagnosed with aggressive liver tumours. He's 14 now and been my wee happy man throughout the years. It's heartbreaking. He's a Chocolate point Persian and many people have met him over time. I know dark times are coming for him but I'm getting the studio ready, thinking towards post-lockdown while he still gets in my way behind cables and plugs.... Cats!
Lockdown has affected everyone in many ways, my heart goes out to everyone affected. Better times are coming and I know we'll be raving again before you know it!
Stay safe and wash those hands! 😊
Si Thompson
I remember playing this as my first track at a summer event in 2003.
Nice little piano track.

Scott was killing it around late 2004.

Hadn't realised about the hidden audio after end of Boomstick on Hardwired III CD2! Was thinking was going to be a hidden track but if anyone has listened to the end after a silent part after Boomstick ends, you'll know what it is!

It's various phone messages and voicemail calls for Scott. One from Lenny Dee saying he's in Scotland and wanting to see Scott. Other messages from some Scottish DJs and friends. Some messages a bit hard to make out with some quite amusing.

Bit of a gap before they start.

New Neckbreaker remix from Double D, sounding good from the clip!
quote:IMPORTANT!!!! 'Now is the time' is about to be deleted from ALL platforms at my discretion. As soon as my distributor unlocks the tracks, they will be gone FOREVER. I know many of you love this track, but in reality, it has haunted me for years. Get your last listen while you can from your favourite platform while you can. Sorry guys, it is what it is. Scott
Si Thompson
The main riff from 'Now Is The Time' was taken from this 1994 track.

I wonder why it haunted him over the years.
Was there anymore info on the reasoning?
Still an absolute tune after all these years.

Yeah was thinking it was something to do with that tbf.
I just thought it strange that he pulled it after all these years.
Now Is The Time for that tune to go reckons Scott! 😁

Is there still a reason Chase can't be digitally released?

Now that one I'm sure was definitely a licensing issue

Thought of The Scotchman - Happy Vibes tune earlier, is a great classic track. Came across this SB remix - don't think I heard this one before - it's not that different to original though.
Sulphurik
Thought of this one also - no one else has remixed this - it's a track I'm surprised we've not seen a remix of...yet

This came out on Evolved back in 2007 with a Devastate & Majestik remix. Just a few subtle changes to the original. Also, this version has bass in it, if I remember rightly.

Best version of this track - what a track this is. Not sure exactly which version this is.

The vocal is lifted from another track

Yes. The vocals are taken from this.

I wonder if Scott Brown will ever re-start Evolution Records? I'm really hoping it is possible when I see Vinylgroover has started up World Of Obsession again. (something I thought would never happen)
Scott just seems to be doing the rare Collab with label owners now days. Like he did a track with Tecknikore and JTS on OneSeventy a few years ago and the last track was Ain't Got Nothing with AL Storm & Roby IYF on Hardcore 24/7. Which I really liked.
Scott Browns last track.

Samination
Compared to VG though, Scott Brown never stopped releasing anything from 94 to around last year (2021-2022). VG only came back to make a few releases around 2019
Sulphurik
Anyone know if Scott has played at the Defqon festival before? He's not in the lineup for this years event. Darren Styles & Gammer are on it. I'm surprised that Scott isn't on the lineup and would be if he hasn't played the event in past.

Don't think I had realised there was a Kinetic Pleasure - Hallelujah 2000 remix. Heard from the Scott Brown Now is the time 1999 album. Always liked the original version but the remix was great also.
