The other day I was going through some old mixes and heard quite a few of dj ham. And I got to wondering what ever happened to him. Did he move on to a different genre or something?

He now produces DnB under the 'Hamilton' alias, with most of it getting released on RAM Records.

He's been a very successful D&B dj and producer for a few years already.

Decided to make some money apparently. Has been a big loss to hardcore.

I'm pretty sure he never said he would stop producing it like all the other twats does. But so far he hasn't done any tracks :(
But considering he's been around since the Jungle days, maybe he just went back to his roots?

I really love how he went from one of the biggest, or possibly even *the* biggest hardcore labels straight over to RAM and started killing it from day one.
Can't deny that I really wish he was still making hardcore, though.

Everyone I've spoken to who knows him real well has said he's definitely not coming back.

Oh... Well if they say it that way, maybe he will do a Vinylgroover and wait 14 years? :P

why would he come back? he was by far the best producer in the scene and NEVER got booked at raves, i sent him a message asking him why he never got booked, as i thought maybe he deliberately didnt take dj bookings, and he replied and said 'I dont know, ask the promoters'. As soon as he starts making d&b he gets signed to the biggest label in the world and his dj career boomed,he will be making ?1000's a week now, cant blame him really.

Criminally underrated and largely ignored.
God knows why.

His dnb under Hamilton is alright. It's funny because I bet almost none of his new fans know he was previously a hardcore artist.

It's a shame the hardcore scene lost such a talent but most of the top tier DJs and producers got their heads stuck in each others' asses so I don't blame him at all for giving up. Happy for him he finally got the recognition he deserves in the DnB scene!! I haven't heard all of his DnB tunes but I absolutely love "Echoes".

I just hope that he knows there are a lot of folk who did really appreciate his talents, and would have him booked if it were their choice. We're not all tossers!
