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:
All hail Alpha! :clap:
amazing stuff coming from this collective at the mo and for the past 2 yeqars near enough

:clap: :clap:
alphmagic are distro arent they. they used to handle pretty much every hardcore label and ****ed a whole bunch of em over. i think it was alphamagic that forced sass to shut down hardheadz :(
Yeah man! I heard about that aswell!Quote:

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:
They ave released some good stuff, but look at the shite they ave released aswell.
Like what?

[quote="DJ IKON"]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?Quote:

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.
