Dougal != Douglas (i know its a little typo, but still had to point it out)
And to answer your question: They probably wanted to fully focus on music production and gigs, and with breeze as manager and with a few other top names, they wanted to create "the biggest and most succesful" hc label after Raver Baby.
Almost everyone of them had an own label, joining forces was the best thing they could do, but now they have to prevent an situation where they end like Raver Baby in it's last years.
Personally i hope they come up with decent tunes later, but thats just personal taste.

It's "a" and not "an," and it's "its" and not "it's."
And what exactly do you mean in by preventing a situation in the likeness of Raver Baby in its last years?

Raverbaby was a shambles throughout its entire existence. Lost count of the amount of amazing tracks that never got released because of the incompetence in releasing tracks. Now that Futureworld have finally started releasing it seems they're releasing at least 2 tracks every fortnight. Great if they keep it up. Although there's a decent backlog of tunes built up because there's been no releases in a long time. To be honest I would've preferred if they'd kept it the same as before and all labels were releasing regular but hopefully Futureworld clear the backlog and still put out regular releases. Always pissed me off about hardcore how it takes so long to get the big tunes out and when they finally do come out your bored of them.

Yea but everyone knows that it's done purposely. They want to rinse the shit out of the tunes until no one really wants to play them anymore. Mob is notorious for this. He and Enemy own Anuva Level, but the tracks that get released are usually over a year old before seeing released. I think it f**king sucks for those who want the track. Labels such as HU operate more smoothly and usually release stuff in a timely manner. I honestly don't think that Futureworld will run as smoothly as HU and Breeze will lag behind on the release schedule. But honestly I think that they're not at all concerned on even releasing the material, so we'll see how it all goes down in the coming months.

I think the problem with Raver Baby was that it is ran by Hixxy. Hixxy has always been very poor at releasing tracks. Just look at the huge number of tracks he has produced over the years, through the 90s up to present. Admittedly they weren't all great tracks, but Hixxy has always been one for producing loads and releasing few. And I think that is the way it went with Raver Baby.

Yes I know but it's still a pain in the arse. Are other scenes as bad as hardcore for this? I don't follow any other music so I don't know.
Also have my doubts about whether or not Futureworld will keep this up. Although maybe the plan was for all the major labels (EP, Junkbox, Twista) to stop releasing for a while before to create the backlog so they will constantly be a few months behind.

First I've heard of this! and quite surprised aswell! wouldn't think a label like essential platinum, which has been around so long would just stop, and that they would go to another record label, shocked by this!

I can't blame them entirely for wanting to be a bit slow with releases because doubtless they earn considerably more from playing the tracks out than they do from sales when they release them.
But for some of them, it literally is a case of "okay, I will probably never play this track out again, it's done to death, might as well release it to make a bit of extra cash". That's a pretty reprehensible attitude because it treats the fans as nothing more than cash cows to be strategically milked for maximum profit.

Couldn't agree more matey. Very, very sad to see a phenomenal label go out with such a whimper (if indeed it is to never see another release again).

You never know, one day in the future there may be a New Essential Platinum II Again Reloaded Digital 2017, or something similar.

Ha!
It's not so much that it won't be releasing tracks any more. It's the fact that it just stopped. No announcement. No final EP/release. No "thanks for the memories". Just, like, sad really, (again, if it has indeed been terminated).

Maybe they will still release, but mostly release of futureworld or something?

I wouldn't treat that as folding - "hiatus" is probably more like it. Should FW fail (by whatever subjective criteria), they can always reactivate their respective labels.
And to be fair, so far FW seems very professional with their release schedule and overall impression. :)
