Not True, here is an email from Sage:
"Recently the company which hosted www.phusionrecords.com since 2001
took down their servers that housed thousands of ecommerce websites. They
did not care to warn their customers about the full deletion of all
server stored material leaving Phusion siteless. I have temporarily opened
www.subsonicstore.com until Phusion is back up & running."
He just moved out of his old store and getting settled into a new place

Did you know that distribution to the states has come to a halt? He (personally) told me that no UK distributors are not willing to distribute to the US any longer. Majestic Distribution went out of business, and that is why no NEW material is being sold out of the store.

Who the hell said that hardcore is spreading on the west coast? I've lived in LA all my life, and no matter what direction you look at it, hardcore will always be underground in every city. Yes, maybe it "seems" like it's getting bigger (in both San Francisco and LA), but it's actually dwindling. Hardcore djs (I being one of them) rarely get booked anymore in So Cal. Record shops, such as Phusion Records, have closed down.
The UK is so far ahead of the USA as far as musical innovation goes. All we can do is wish, dream, or cry.

I dont completely agree.
I have also noticed that there have been less and less events with hardcore. But the scene isnt going away. Im trying my best to expose hardcore to as many people as I can, and to the people I introduce, Its looks more like more and more people are getting into it.
You shouldnt completely count out the hardcore scene in So Cal and say "all we can do is wish, dream, or cry." I dont think it will get to how the UK is, but it should do good enough. I do agree that hardcore is and will continue to be majorly underground here though.
Hey man...have you tried to get booked lately? Have you noticed that promoters aren't hiring any (UK) hardcore djs anymore? You say that you've tried very hard to expose hardcore to your friends. Well...I've tried harder. I've played at numerous college campuses all over LA and distributed mixed CDs with website links on them. People will listen to them and most likely throw them away; it's just the reality.
The problem with hardcore in America is that it had no image. Somebody needs to make a bomb-ass music video with UK hardcore and play it on national television.
