The guy has produced more quality Hardcore than just about anyone in the entire hardcore scene. That is including the Netherlands, not just the UK.
The big question is, will he ever get back in the studio & treat us all to some new bangers? If so when? Even some collabs would be good.
His last batch of his own tracks seemed to be back in 2018 and there was loads of quality even then. Tracks like Energized, Make you scream, Fight for you etc.. which I still listen to often.
So Scott if you read this, it really would be good if you got back in the studio bruv:)
Anyone out there know what the story is? |

If he gets more airtime on Sharkey's Bonkers radio, he might get interested again. His mix on Hardcore Heaven didn't really feel like it was really his and that he was mandated to sound the same as others. |

Making a big resume
- Has released a track in OneSeventy with Technikore & JTS.
- Done a Mix CD with the guys from Scarred Digital and Future State Music.
- And done a brand new track for the Hardcore Uproar.
He is still releasing best of stuff, the lastest one was the Lockdown mix. |

I wouldn't be surprised if he's burnt out, he's been producing for 30 years now, and at some point you need to stop.
He's an intelligent guy and knows that the UK scene is small now and if he spends hours upon hours in his studio making music that is going to gross tiny numbers, is it worth it ?
DJ appearances and best of mixes probably get him more revenue.
I'm surprised he stopped the Dutch style hardcore production tbh, because there's a way bigger market there for his stuff. He's done classic tracks like Sonic Boomstick and Juggernaut etc.
I hope he comes back, there's a lot of pressure on him to "save" hardcore. tbh I think it's beyond saving and he just should have fun with it.
But what do I know, Scott Brown is Scott Brown, and he's a legend of our scene, and i'll always be thankful for the tracks he's brought us. I was listening to Heavens Gate yesterday in the car and I just hear pure musical bliss tbh. |

I keep finding absolute banging tunes from the 90s that I didn't know about or missed first time around and, lo and behold, they turn out to be Scott Brown tunes. |

I hope he does start producing again, but I would be surprised if he does. As stated, he mainly plays out classics sets now anyway, which are always great to see! |

Everyone just rewind and start making music for kniteforce.
Problem solved.
The future of hardcore lies in it's past. |

Yeah that's true about the Netherlands. Their Hardcore scene is absolutely thriving. They had massive turnouts at Thunderdomes & events similar.
He would probably make good coin if he took Evolution records in a more Dutch/European direction. Stuff like Uptempo & Frenchcore etc. |

Would you happen to know the name of that New track he did for Uproar? Interested to hear it. Cheers. |

Man that would be unreal if he released a few vinyls on Kniteforce. |

I dont agree with this. I think that style of hardcore would be less popular now than it was back then.
Back then it was fresh.
Now it's just a bunch of purists trying to relive the past.
But each to their own. |

I doubt Scott Brown would really sign to Kniteforce. I'm sure he'd still make an odd release or remix for the label, but Kniteforce has never been his kind of sound. |
| The drunken scotsman |
He has taken several breaks from producing over the years and always came back strong. This time is probably different though and barring a miracle turnaround for the music he probably wont bother. He has such a massive back catalogue of classics that he can dine out on and make a decent enough living for as long as he wants.
In a nutshell, Scott brown can do whatever the **** he wants to. He has well and truly earned his stripes. |

Yeah your right, Kniteforce is mostly a much older sound. |

What if you shouted him a few Pints, would he change his mind?:)

Considering he has no problems visiting small club raves with maybe only 200 people, maybe a pint or four is all he needs :D |

still be better & more popular than 85% of the shit that comes our way these days.
As an added bonus, we would be guaranteed to not have to hear ******** dubstep, or whiny scratchy hardstyle sounds in every track anymore.
I mean, look at the reception this track got. Modern hardcore just simply doesn't get this kind of love.

if I were to be honest, I'm able to take an hour of the newest stuff than I can take an hour of oldskool/jungle. |

I haven't listened to anything other than that bouncy techno stuff that came from Lethal Theory which was really cool.
I like dubstep and hardstyle and tbh I like most styles of music, but when I listen to that track you posted, I just think, yeah done that , it sounds like a carbon copy of a old track , just stuff moved around.
Now there's nothing wrong with that, don't think i'm saying its bad, but for people who know, we've been there and its done. But for youngsters who never experienced that style, it would be fresh for them, and will spawn a bunch of remasters and remixes.
For me, I find that boring, but then I have moved away from hardcore completely, including the gabber, I simply just don't listen to it at all now. (Apart from in my car, cos the radio's ****ed and I gotta listen to old CD's lol) |

Last track I heard that blew me away was Scott Brown - Go!
I hope he comes back to producing too, but I agree with the sentiment that he has earned his reputation. I can't count how many tracks he's actually produced over the years, but I know it's a shit ton.

Whatever comes or doesnt come , Scott Brown will always be the best producer we've had over the last 30 years.
He's transcended 2 maybe 3 era's in Hardcore and excelled in them all. I don't know many who can claim that.

I spoke to him on Twitter a few weeks ago and he said there IS new music coming soon, said he's got his groove back. Being unable to perform in front of people got him a bit stuck.
So definitely look out for new stuff. |

It makes me wonder what kinds of day jobs hardcore producers have. Or do many of them support themselves just off the music? |

I think doing gigs is where all the money comes from. |
