After much consideration, Electronica Exposed will stop releasing hardcore and freeform in 2008.
The decision has been based on a number of both business and personal factors, but unfortunately it would be impossible to run the hardcore and freeform side of the business at the current standard, and I do not wish to continue if this standard cannot be sustained.
Running the labels has had its ups and downs over the years but I'd like to thank everyone who has bought the releases, all of the artists for supplying great music, all the businesses I've dealt with (even if the majority of them ended up in liquidation or administration lol) and all the great people I've met along the way. 
There are a few friends I'd like to thank especially for their support over the years.. you know who you are! Respect!
For the time being, Electronica Exposed will continue to operate as normal. There are many releases still scheduled for this year including:
CDs - Artist Albums:
Lost Soul 'Human Being'
Firefly 'Omega Point'
Grimsoul 'TBC'
Substanced 'TBC'
CDs - Compilations:
Kreatrix 6
Full Circle 2
Electronic Exclusives 10, 11 and 12
Digital Beats - The Complete Works
Movement 2004
Electronic - The Complete Works Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4
Electromagnetic - The Complete Works
Bedlam albums
Vinyl:
Electromagnetic 1, 2, 3 and 4
Hardcore Coalition 4, 5 and 6
That's most of what's scheduled but there may be releases missing. There are some great releases scheduled past Hardcore Coalition 6, but they haven't been confirmed yet by all parties.
Over the remainder of the year, Electronica Exposed will be selling off all our remaining back catalogue releases, so look out for some special offers and sales over the next few months!! 
Electronica Exposed will remain open past 2008 and will focus on our forthcoming Electrocute progressive house label and our Electrolysis hard dance label. Electronica Exposed will continue to administer our back catalogue of releases for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the labels closing, I personally will not be producing hardcore and freeform past the current projects that are currently being completed.
As the film and song states "Never Say Never Again", so who knows what the future will bring...
Finally, I'd like to say that it's been a pleasure running the labels over the years and I hope that our music has brought you some happiness and enjoyment.

Too bad, your the only Label that does CD and digital, which are the formats I want.
Personally, Hardcore (and Freeform) have become boring, so, even to my dismay, it's a good thing you leave hardcore, maybe people will wake up and start producing properly again, or atleast interesting music (sorry Luna C, but I still dont like your stuff  )

Hardcore Coalition already heard a few tunes from the label and I am impressed with them.

That bad news, especially about Hardcore Coalition. But all the best shanty. The first three volumes of those really really kick ass love the tunes.

Presuming the releases sell well, there'll be at least 10 releases on Hardcore Coalition, and we could go further.. so as a label it may continue on a lot longer than the others...
The releases will go on CD and download at some point. It's just a question of whether it's all of them or I just release the Electronica Exposed tracks on the releases.
