Alphamagic taking over the Hard Trance scene?

[DJ Corbzy]

I think so! They are a driving force in what we know to be Hard Trance.

Without them we wouldnt have labels like:

Difuse, Sectioned, Endeavour, Active Media, Bulletproof, United Nations, Rising High, Mohawk, Phantom Trax....and about 100 more! :shock:

When it comes to danglies, I think these guys are the dogs! :clap:

[Si the Sigh]

All hail Alpha! :clap:

[Louk]

Yeah man! I heard about that aswell!

Sharkey told me that Alpha nearly bankrupted him! I think they may have also been responsible fo UK44 Shuttin-up shop!!!! dont quote me on that though.

[DJRazza]

:doh:

[Barely Human]

Ive seen this happenin too. They control the whole of the happy hardcore lables now, i think. They'll probably try and corner simon out of buisness soon :shock:

[Paul Nisbet]

They ave released some good stuff, but look at the shite they ave released aswell.

[Louk]

They seem to be in the habit of not paying the labels the money they owe. Problem is, now that Infectious is gone, they're pretty much the only UK distributor left that has global distribution and will handle hard music, no?

Not familiar with them? Who are they? Can you give me some info about them - website, that kind of thing? (Sorry, I'm from Canada. Don't know too much about UK distributors, only the ones i've been involved with.)

[Barely Human]

UM - Underground Music, and it is run by simon underground. He disributes most hardcore from the UK,(Hardcore techno/Breakcore..etc not happy handbag). It can be found here - http://www.undergroundmusic.co.uk/

[aponaut]

cool, thanks for the info.

[Tiddlypeep]

I love the guys at Alpha!!.

Such a sound bunch of guys and always go out their way to help you out :) .

I think they where a bit dodgey in the olden days but now they have got their shit together.

Doesnt mean they dont release dodgy records tho...

nobodys asking how nice they are, just if they are the saviour of hard trance.

Which they aint. imo

[DJ Corbzy]

For me Paul they are keeping Hard Trance alive!

[Paul Nisbet]

Fair play mate, i love ya corbz.

But u knjow, i cant see who they are the saviour or that they release as much good hard tranc as they should, imo are inconsistent, they release some belters for sure... but i also think some are relase by numbers tracks... which aint so good.
