Well, lately they've been pretty good with releases, so I'm thinking maybe its time to drop the reputation of it being so slow to release things. . I mean . . sure there are still alot of tracks that havent been released. . . but theyve been releasing pretty regularly lately, which is alot better than about a year+ ago. Good work.

Also I'd like to renounce everything bad I ever said about raverbaby in terms of style, I am absolutely loving the pacific sun remix.

I've never bashed Raver Baby as a style of hardcore, maybe about their release schedules.

I like alot of the Raver Baby stuff/style, and have alot of respect for Styles, Breeze & Recon. Although I don't like Hixxy one bit, I have to admit that I have respect for him and what he's done.

I do wish they would release on a regular schedule thats better than 1 record every 6 months though. If they did, I might just buy more of them ;)

i sometimes wonder wat raverbaby achieve by not releasing all their records, surely they'd make more money releasing them than they would not, it make me wonder if certain cd's ie clubland, bonkers pay them not to release the tunes so people will buy the cd's to listen to more.
But it isnt just raverbaby that does it, essential platinum era doin it aswell, they havent released drive me crazy, testing 1,2, in da house which were on bonkers 14, and have only just released substance, into the future and we need more core! they're all quality tracks and worth the wait but it makes me wonder if they'll even release tell me a story, or open your eyes!
and there are so many top tunes from ep on bonkers 15 that i hope get released like dopest dj, a new feeling and lets all say ****, i'm sure they will but they're startin to take the rb route to it n take they're time releasing tunes!

i'll give credit where credits due and raverbaby are certainly getting alot better with ther're releasing records but they're missed out the best ones yet, dropzone and elements! i do hope this is a A and B side vinyl if it ever gets released!!

essay over!!!!

I hope thats not raver baby tbh. As much as I like the B & S remix this is one track that I dont want hixxy to have control over.

I like Spenno though. I dont mind his MC'ing and I like the work he does with scott devotion & tom.

Its interesting to note that the original is Jess - Find Your way (on Bonkers 13 Dougals disc) not Jess & spenno. I wonder why.

spenno's productions are quality i think, defo on the trancey tip but got a different style to most the other stuff coming out.

Hard to explain it's just more simple euphoric rather than pop music sped up, most the new cheesy stuff bores me but spenno and sytronik sets always get me bouncin. So defo doing something right is a sound lad aswell hope to see him keep making progress the way it's going.

Actually compared to a bit over a year ago, theyve been ALOT more regular (raverbaby), with releases every coupla months or so lately.

glad to hear masterwax will be doing something soon!

and hoping the raverbaby announcement is that it's going digital.... >_>

and Baldo: I know what you mean by the difference between sped up pop and euphoric. . .
I think it has to do with being short sharp sounds instead of long drawn out whiney sounds.

its the difference between 'happy' hardcore and 'uplifting' hardcore IMO. uplifting builds over time. . happy just goes all out from the get-go.

More bounce is always a good thing!

1. 'Find Your Way', the original and styles and breeze remix, has now been signed to Elektrik Euphoria records run my Marley and the Southampton crew. This is apparently scheduled to be their first release, and will be out soon.

2. It was credited as just Jess on Bonkers as Resist have a habit of printing the incorrect info
